I bought this suitcase for the size and because i just wanted a single suitcase, not a set. It is huge which is great. As big as it is you'd think the handles would be constructed to hold a lot of weight. When I picked it up by the side handle to lift it on the bed, it started to pull out the metal peice that fastens it to the suitcase. If I wouldnt have set it down immediatly, Im fairly certain the hadle would have completely broke off. It was the first trip I took it on so i was pretty disappointed with the item.
