Hi, sorry for the delay in this review.  I LOVE my packing cubes.  I have been using my original set for almost two years (ish)... including washing them in the washing machine several times.  The reason I ordered this new set is that in late May, my husband and I were traveling back from Baja California and had my packing cubes stored in our overhead cargo carrier on the top of our car.  Somehow, the hinge came loose and the large packing cube was one of 4 items that flew out. We saw it immediately and pulled over to the side of the highway.  I ran along side of the highway to where the items had fallen out and the packing cube had landed in the right-hand lane of the highway.  Many vehicles passed over it, but only two nicked it (but remember, they were going 60+ miles per hour).  I was able to salvage all of the items that had fallen along the highway.  The remarkable thing about my packing cube was that even after being hit and dragged, it only had two tears in it.  One item inside was cracked, but that was it.  I was so impressed at how well the cube held up!!  Even though it is still usable for larger items, I decided to treat myself to a new, more colorful set.  They are worth every cent.
I am a fan for life!!  Kudos to your company for a great product and thank you for your personal touch :) Ann Moore
