Quality & Durability Questionable!!!

I received the Freeform Carry-On Spinner as a birthday gift. When I opened the box I was elated because of the brand Samsonite one of the most well-known travel brands in the world! My thoughts were: it is a quality product and will be durable. Plus, I loved the color, the style, and the ease of motion. However, I was extremely wrong. I recently had an opportunity to use my brand new suitcase for the first time on a trip to Puerto Rico. To my dismay and utter dissatisfaction my brand new suitcase now looks like it has been through the wringer. It looks dirty, used, and abused after one single use. I can only imaged how it will look after a few more uses while vacationing. Honestly, I am a little embarrassed to travel with it now. I do not recommend for anyone to purchase this suitcase due to low quality and durability. I recommend for individuals looking to purchase new luggage to look into other luggage companies for more durable and quality luggage!!! The proof is in the photos below.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I replaced a 20 year old Samsonite with this new bag for a week in New York City so I wasn't sure what to expect. I am happy to report I love this large Spinner! It's bigger than I expected but was very ease to move around airports, Ubers and to pull off airport carousels. I had plenty of room to pack every thing I need and a few things I didn't. You should definitely but this wonderful tool.
Very unsatisfied on this purchase. On the First use the TSA lock hook broke.
We have previously retired our old Samsonite and purchased three of the Freeform design. One broke on us on the first use. Our previous Samsonite lasted 10 years with just normal scruffs all around which is normal but never had issues on the zipper lock. Perhaps it’s how the lock hook is designed on the TSA lock. Not very happy about this considering it’s only the first use!

I bought this luggage less than a year ago and it immediately scuffed with my first trip. This is only from normal wear and tear traveling. I’m super disappointed because I had another set of samsonite that lasted me probably about 8 years but that style was discontinued but just assumed that all their products are great and was sorely mistaken by this line.

Each time we’ve used our bags something fails. The zipper failed the first time, the second time a plastic piece ( I think the built in tag)came loose and we were unable to reattach. Seem to get very scratched up so, our new luggage looks worn, right out the gate. (No pun intended) . We have 3 of these but next go round we will likely look elsewhere since there doesn’t seem to be a good warranty for these kinds of defects.

I am extremely disappointed to discover that the provided interior dimensions are FALSE. I purchased this specifically to transport a computer case that 20" long and 21.5" tall. The interior length of this luggage is AT MOST 19". However, it has lots of inward-pointing protrusions that cause the usable length for fitting a solid rectangular object to be at most 18". The corners are also cut diagonally, so the depending the thickness of a rectangular prism object you want to fit, the usable length might be up to 4" less than that. This luggage is useless for the purpose that I purchased it for,
