American Flyer Budapest Metallic Red 5-piece Spinner Luggage Set

Very nice luggage set, and I purchased primarily for the pattern, HOWEVER, I'm not a fan of "spinner" wheels, so I am going to sell them.

• How is the quality of the product? Good
• Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? Yes

I purchased this set to replace the mismatched black suitcases we had gathered and used for years for both business and leisure. Now that retirement is here I wanted fun and visibility. This set provides that. Delivery was quick, and the set arrived in great shape dispite the mangled carton. The only problem was location the carry strap for the duffle. It was in the outside pocket. Since all the pieces nest, storage is not a problem. I found the pieces easy to nest. The largest case held everything I needed for an 8 day vacation as well as 2 jackets for my husband. There was even room for souvenirs. The duffle worked well as my carryon. Due to the nature of this fabric there was some slight fraying on the binding from airline handling- but most of our travel now is not via air so this will not be a problem for us.

I received my luggage about 1 month ago. It is very lovely and very much as I expected it to be. It is easy to maneuver because of the "four wheel drive." Spinner luggage feature. It is easy to Identify when it is coming along on the airport conveyor belt because of the fabric design and color. I go to India quite often and I like the little elephant designs on the fabric. The only problems that I have found with it, is that it is fraying, slightly on the bindings. I am hoping that it doesn't wear out too soon around these critical areas. Also, it is difficult to put the luggage pieces inside of one another after use, because the zippers are recessed on the top of the luggage rather than on the edges. Other than those 2 problems, I am pretty well satisfied with my new American Flyer luggage. The price was right, and the delivery time was perfect.

Barely out the box, this luggage set began to unravel - literally. The fabric grab handle came apart after one single use on two of the largest bags. The small over night bad with pull handle has started to pull arThis was not due to baggage handling but poor manufacturing. i chose this bag because of it attractive fabric and spinner wheels, but great looks mean nothing if its going to tear apart with little use. I am very disappointed. Given my hectic travel schedule dealing with returning the bags to American Flyer is way more trouble then its worth. My suggestion - pick another set of luggage!
