I would say that I got what I paid for, this is why I gave it 4 stars.  I don't think it is 4 star luggage, I think it is 4 star luggage for the price.  The price was what I could afford (at least it was cute and the little bag has been handy too), and it did what I needed it to do.  The only thing is, one of the zipper toggles broke at home the very day I received it.  I would say that I got what I paid for.  Although, I have had inexpensive luggage last me for a very long time, so I can't say that this won't, broken toggle and all.
