Worst luggage ever. I had to return the first set because, even protected in a box, the luggage was bashed in. In the picture it looks like a hard outer shell but this is not the case. With my pinkie finger I can dent this luggage. I saw a lot of positive reviews so I bought it. Read about fakespot and locand behold most if not all the positive results are fake. Amazon has scrubbed (removed fake reviews) many of the more obvious fake reviews. Every piece of this luggage has ripped and torn outer shells after one domestic flight. There is a luggage store at Columbia mall and I brought the least damaged piece to them for an opinion and the owner and I tore it apart to see what it was made of. We found cardboard, we found staples, we found glue-gun glue, we found twist-ties. It is well past my 30 day window to return this. I feel stupid thatI was deceived by the the seller/manufacturer of this luggage who clearly is padding the reviews with fake reviews. From now on before I buy anything from amazon I will be checking FakeSpot. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I hope my review helps level the playing field. Thanks for reading. :)
