I was going to gift this to my daughter.  I thought this tote was not big enough for my needs, however I decided to use it for a week.  It is perfect!  The stitching is high quality and strong.  Throughout the week I found there was room for everything I use and extra.  The bottom is designed for free standing, another quality I needed.  It doesn't topple over.  I am going to have to get more for my daughters, and the colors available are fantastic.
