Quality Product I've purchased a set of this about 7+ years ago. I've mainly used the 25" and 21" bags the most. The 21" is allowed to go onto the plane as a carry-on. I've used the 25" and 21" yearly for my int'l + domestic travels. Its seen some brutal baggage handling but still works perfectly. The wheels are definitely good quality and never had any problems with it. The interior handles is the perfect length and makes wheeling the bags easy. I usually put a heavy duffel bag on top of the 21" and wheel both bags together that way. The 2.5" expansion is really great when you go on trips. BUT the problem is when you expand the bags, it tends to fall over since the weight becomes a bit uneven. The top front pocket is pretty small but good for holding tags or small things. The bottom front pocket can hold quite a lot of stuff. Overall this is a great quality bag. When I purchased this a few years ago I got it at a discount in Macy's. I figure because the entire set was purchased so cheaply, the quality of this bag might be poor and probably wont last through 2-3 int'l flights. I'm glad to find that I'm wrong and definitely love this luggage set. Lightweight I just purchased this reasonably priced luggage due to my need for some very lightweight suitcases. I have more expensive luggage- but this is going to save me on my upcoming trip when I will be traveling on an airline that is very restrictive about weight. Update (9/20/08): I bought this luggage in 2006 and have abused it quite a bit since that time. The luggage remains in good condition and I can now say that not only is it lightweight but it is also VERY durable! Great quality Item arrived in a timely manner. Zippers seem much more substantial than others we've used. Wheels move freely. VERY pleased.
