Nice looking, very light weight, sturdy, and rolls easily.  We recently took a trip to Alaska, where this piece of luggage was handled by airlines several times, packed onto buses for our land tour and cruise.  It came home looking like new. There is very little padding inside where the handle pulls out, so you will want clothing there that can cushion other items. However, since I pack in 2 1/2-gallon plastic zip bags (easy to organize clothing, etc.) it is very simple to arrange your bag, and with the air squeezed out makes your suitcase hold even more.
