I purchased this for my wife who was traveled overseas with me a few months ago. I already have my own. Prior to the Samsonite Winfield 2 Hardside 28" suitcase, I had another suitcase brand. That lasted two trips overseas, torn on the first trip. I have since traveled three times overseas with this suitcase and my wife did once. Scuffed up for sure, but not cracked or damaged in any way. The wheels work wonderfully, so that you can push the suitcase along with you in an upright position, or pull it behind you. Nice sturdy handles when you have to pick up the suitcase to throw it in the back of a car or truck, or when you need to put it on the scales at the airport. Easily holds 50 lbs of luggage (the max we can pack and not pay for check in). We are very happy with these Samsonite suitcases!
