This luggage is of great value.

The entire set cost what a single piece would if I had purchased locally. When I first opened the large box the luggage did smell, and I had to let it sit for two days to air out. I did expect this since I read the other reviews.

The luggage came undamaged and overall works very well. It has survived a handful of international and domestic flights, along with being transported along the subway, through security, etc.

The outside of the luggage has become slightly scuffed, but it still functions well. My only real complaint is that the inside fabric materiel of the luggage is rather weak. I doubt it will last very long, and suspect the cheap material will soon rip and come apart.

However, even when that does happen the functionality of the luggage will be intact. It serves its purpose well to keep my luggage secure and prevent crushing of my belongings.

Overall I am happy with the luggage, especially with the great price I was able to get the enter set at. Hopefully it will hold up over time.
