I needed to replace an old suitcase that was falling apart, and I read many reviews on travel blogs and consumer sites before settling on this Ricardo Beverly Hills Wheelaboard. I'm glad to say that I was not disappointed: This is a great little suitcase! It's very light (about 7.5 lbs. unpacked), well-constructed, sharp-looking (I got the purple and it looks great in person), and it has a ton of room and zippered compartments for organizing. One thing to note is that the main compartment is divided into a space in the bottom of the case as well as an expandable mesh zippered compartment on the inside of the lid. This is a little bit of a new arrangement for me, but it's nice having two sizable spaces to divvy up your clothes: nice/informal, clean/dirty, etc. The compartment on the inside of the cover also has a suiter strap for keeping formal clothes unwrinkled.

One other feature that I really like is the long handle; I'm 5' 10", and the handle reaches a few inches up above my hip when it's extended (I love that, though it may be inconvenient if you're on the shorter side). The case also rolls very smoothly and steadily, and the wheels are big enough that they don't catch when going over gravelly surfaces.

I've only had this suitcase for a short while so I can't speak to how long it will last, but it seems sturdy enough that I expect to get some good mileage out of it. As another reviewer noted, I think one drawback might be the fact that the outside of the case is polyester, which means it could easily scuff up. I don't do heavy traveling so I'm hoping that won't be too much of an issue, but it's something to consider if you're on the road (or rather, up in the air) a lot.

Still, that's a fairly small detractor from an otherwise great item. Amazon has the suggested retailer's price listed at $200, but they were selling it for $68 when I made my purchase. Honestly, for the overall quality of this case, any price under $100 would be a steal. 4.5 stars!
