Love Steve Madden suitcases for the style.  Mine had no issues (I bought three).  Really love this underseat weekender.  Have used it more than the carry-on.  It's so roomy it will take everything for a weekend including an iPad or small computer.  Will even fit in the overhead shelf on the train.  There is one request - that they would lose the impractical zipper pocket on the back and put a strap there for piggy-backing on another suitcase.
