I used this suitcase for the first time last week and it was scratched and scuffed much more than I think it should have been for a first-time use. I understand Samsonite is not responsible for the way baggage handlers treat the bags, but the bag should be durable enough to withstand normal wear and tear. I paid so much for this bag and have no idea how many more times I will be able to use it. The bad thing is, I bought my mom the exact suitcase for Christmas and now that this happened to mine, she's scared to use hers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just bought the suitcase and brought it on an international trip. The surface scratches very easily which is a small issue. On the returning flight back home, I dragged the suitcase down the belt and realized that one wheel was missing. I've used tons of suitcases over the decades, and I've never seen a suitcase so flimsy and poorly made.
