I just recieved my second bag and it's alot roomier than the first. It is 17 inches in width and 14 inches high. The first was only 14 inches wide.

The construction in the same. The stitching is pretty good. Although there is no liner or closure at the top, it works well and is very sturdy. It is well worth the points for this.

I'm glad my daughter took my first bag and is using it for herself because mine is new and improved!
