Unfortunately, this bag is very much a case of "you get what you pay for." I was very surprised that this suitcase was so inexpensive, and I found out the hard way why. It is very poorly made. The seam next to the zipper ripped out on the very first trip I took it on, and the bag was not overpacked. Anyone who has ever sewn anything knows that, even for clothing--which will never get as much rough wear as a suitcase--you need deep seams that are double-reinforced. Not so with this bag. The seams are about 1/8-inch deep, and with no reinforcement at all.

Only if you have money to burn investing in an essentially one-use, disposable suitcase should you consider purchasing this bag.
