This is a solid piece of luggage. I purchased this as a replacement for my previous Samsonite Tru-Frame which I loved, but someone was very careless and caused the wheels to implode into the frame. Anyway, I was almost against this model as I did not think the expandable option would hold up. It’s had amazing reviews Al across different experts so I’m giving it a try. It’s light weight and offers a bit more room than my previous. So far…quite happy. It took over six years for the other to malfunction, but honestly…I think any bag would have been damaged by the airline luggage handlers given the severity of the damage.
This suitcase is okay. It stands up and wheels perfectly, but it isn’t as thick as some of the other samsonite material, so the outside doesn’t hold up as well. Light colors get scuffed easily. Would be great for road trips or light air travel. I took mine on an 10 day international trip with multiple locations and it got a little beat up.
Roomy and spacious, but you won't lose stuff in this suitcase! Roomy enough for my husband and I to pack for 2 for a cruise. Just test driving this around the kitchen, it glides smoothly and I don't anticipate any issues while at the airport. So far so good.
