I've only used this set for one trip, but it was international and the luggage held up fairly well.  No rips, tears, or stains and the handles are in tact.  I wish the handles were sturdier.  Seem a little cheaply made, but the fabric is really rugged looking.  I travel domestically and internationally 6-8 times per year.  With that schedule, I would expect to get 5 years out of the luggage, which isn't bad for the price.
