I love this bag. The color is perfect for me & with the darker color of the overall bag, I don't have to worry about it showing dirt. This bag is rather sturdy. I have carried my laptop around in it with no fear of the weight being too much for the bag. Even though I saw other reviews that discussed the bag being rather large, I wrongly dismissed those reviews because I thought it was going to be the right size for me. I'm likely just going to use this bag as an overnight bag. I just ordered the next size down to have for every day use.
