This carry-on suitcase is exactly as described.  I needed a smaller carry-on since American Airlines says the maximum size on their airline is 14 inches wide.  I already have one that is 15 inches wide which other airlines allow, but needed to get a smaller one so I didn't get rejected at the gate and have to check a small bag and pay for it.  Anyhow, this one is quite small, but ok - enough room for about two days of clothes, etc.  It appears to be fairly well constructed, although made of lighter weight material than better brands, and the wheels are exposed to banging around, unlike the kind of wheels that are protected by setting them inside the frame of the bag.  But this should be ok if you just carry it on, you can be careful with it, unlike the baggage handlers that throw things around.  So, good product I think for the price.
