Can’t go wrong for purchasing Samsonite luggage. I still have luggages in great shape from 1990’s. We travel a lot and I’ve had to recently replace the wheels, a handle on another one and zipper fixed on another.
This suitcase survived the international trip to Italy and up and down many staircases in train stations in Italy! Many reviews before mine said the hard-shell gets scratched easily and that ruins the look - which is not wrong - but also not something I was worried about. Everyone was worried that the large-sized wouldn't be allowed to be checked and that is 100% WRONG - I had NO issues checking this on several flights, and no issues with the weight either. Best suitcase ever, can't wait for more future travel!
After many years of travel, I replaced my current Samsonite carry on with the freedom carryon. Samsonite always delivers on quality, and durability, and affordability.
