First, to give you an idea of what my suitcase has been through, I'l tell you that I took this with be both on a two month excursion around Europe (on trains, up and down stairs, in the metros, on airplanes, in and out of cars and trailers, etc) and this suitcase never let me down. It is very large, so be aware of this (ladies, if you use this for traveling often, you will be teased!), but the wheels on the bottom glide so smoothly and the handle is such a great grip that I never had any issues. There is also a wonderful little handle on the bottom that makes two people carrying up up or down stairs a breeze. The lining is nice, the zippers are sturdy, and the only thing that has ever happened after all the abuse I've put it through is that the plastic on the zipper tabs has bent a bit. I will also say that I had an earlier model of this suitcase when I moved to another country for university and I'd use it on the plane twice a year round-trip to go home and it often was used to take things home or bring new things to college and since then, now that I have two, I've used them for moving (pretty much once or more a year) and, with much more than the usual 50 lbs that it usually carries on the plane. Even so, this suitcase has never let me down or broken anywhere on any part. This thing will last you for so long and, because it's soft and not a hard case, it will never crack on you. I swear it's like Mary Poppin's bag with how much stuff I can fit in it and really, the only issue you'll ever have is trying to lift it when it's full to maximum capacity. The stuff that it comes with changes from one model to the next, but as for the suitcase itself: great bag, great color, and I probably won't ever need another bag again for a few decades at least.
