Got this through Amazon Warehouse for less than $19! A great price for my tiny budget. :-) Price is even lower as I type this up. This piece of luggage has a VERY strong chemical smell and will need at least a week of airing out before you add clothing to it. The back frame seems fairly sturdy but nothing has been added to keep the top from getting crushed by negligent Airline Workers and careless interstate bus drivers. It might last a few trips but for the price, don't be surprised if it doesn't. I'd toss in a few collapsible bags to be on the safe side. Happy Trails!
