It doesn't really matter how long you've had a suitcase so right off the bat I won't tell you that I've had this for about a year and a half.  Who cares how long you've had something you don't use on a daily basis?

That being said, on the fifth trip that I used this suitcase, I was taking it out of the truck and placed it on the ground unevenly, like most people, and one of the wheels decided to buckle and is now ripped off by about 75% of the plastic that is holding it on.

Otherwise, this is not a bad casual suitcase, but I expect more out of the cost for this item and the label that says Samsonite on it.  Metal wheel brackets attached to the suitcase frame is something I expect, yet did not get.
