I had this for about 4 years. Its outer shell held up well, with only a few minor scratches. The wheels kept on rolling making it easy to move. I travel for family and vacations. I flew about 6 times a year. The zippers did not hold up well. The part you grab fell off. I tries to get it repaired and or the piece replaced, but very frustrating getting anyone competent on the process on the phone. I utilized the online process, which had me paying and or driving over an hour from my home to drop off. I purchased 30 minutes from my home, although only certain locations permit drop-off for repair. I expected better from Samsonite.
To be honest I love the design pretty much, it is light, fashionable, however, the material used for this luggage is not durable enough! very easy to get scratches!!
Got this in blue one month ago. Looks like a disaster after one trip. Totally scratched up. Wish I hadn't got the whole set (two large and two medium).
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello, thank you for your review, we appreciate the feedback.
This travel luggage does not disappoint! I had the opportunity to use a set from a friend first to try it out and I loved it so much I had to have my own. It’s very durable and has a smooth glide even over bumpy grounds it’ll keep up with my fast pace movements. Also, I don’t feel the weight of all my belongings inside and the amount of space that I get is tremendous! I was able to pack extra clothes and still purchase more clothes over my travels that all fit within my same luggage. I’m very happy 😊!
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!
