I like this bag a lot. It has been about a year and a few months since I bought this bag and it has certainly lasted me. It has only been the last week when I've started noticing signs of wear and tear. I expect it to last me a full two years before needing to replace it so that means another six months to go. It's big. It's bigger than I thought it would be for a drawstring bag. The Adidas metro sack pack was considerably smaller compared to this bag. That's not a bad thing in itself and I'm not terribly concerned that it turned out bigger than I thought it would be. In fact, I rather like the fact that it was good size bigger than my previous bag.

I usually use it for carrying my work boots and work shirts to and from work to change. Sometimes, I use it to carry my laptop and binders and/or folders. Surprisingly, I can fit quite a bit in this bag without the bag ripping from down under. If it can carry my behemoth 6.5 lb, 15.6" screen laptop and a couple of thin binders and smaller books, it has surpassed my expectations of its durability and construction. BUT! I wouldn't keep doing that for extended periods of time. Keep it to short trips from home to the library or local cafe.

All in all, I highly recommend this bag. I will definitely buy from them again.

**UPDATE 1/6/13**: It has been roughly 5 years since the last time I wrote this review. This bag has lasted me well beyond my expectations of a cheap sub-$10 drawstring bag. At the time of my original review, I had said that it had been 1 full year plus a few months and it's still in good condition albeit with some signs of wear and tear. Around New Years Eve just before 2013 is when I noticed that I had ripped a baseball-sized hole through the bottom of my bag at the corner--might I add.
