I've had this luggage for about a year now, and it's been on numerous road trips as well as at least 4 roundtrip flights (including international travel). It's still in good condition.  It's large enough to easily hold 1.5 weeks' worth of supplies for an efficient female packer (who still likes to carry a nice pair of heels, a couple of extra outfits, and supplies for comfortable travel), in combination with a large purse. I generally don't use it to capacity (i.e., the outer pockets are mostly empty or just have flat papers/magazines in them). If you don't really use the outer pockets (except for papers), it easily fits as carry-on for all the flights I've been on (except when I went on a 45 minute flight on a 20-person jet). One flight attendant doubted it, so I dropped it into the sizing bin and it slid right in.

It's easy to pull the handle up and down, and roll it along behind you.
