When something is built with physical longevity in mind, with the intent of withstanding high amounts of wear and tear, accidents, and abuse.

For example, a CRT monitor would require a high amount of physical strength or an object to break, while an LCD monitor is much easier to fracture.

Or my own desk, which can support a 120+ kg man standing and walking on it, made in the 70's vs an IKEA table of today.
