bought this set for my daughter almost a year ago, & so far it has performed admirably. she has used the whole set only a couple of times for vacations but has used various pcs a number of times for work-related trips. they have held up well & seem to be well-made. plenty of room & pockets, the wheels work well (they are 360 swivel wheels, which is particularly convenient). she particularly likes the hard-body bottom for stability & strength.
