I had been debating buying this set for a long time, and I am glad that I finally did. They arrived today and I like them very much! They are very glossy and very lightweight, and I love the overall look and style of these cases. There are a few things buyers should be aware of though:
1. This set does not have the built in TSA locks advertised on the Heys website. It is very easy to buy and use add-on TSA locks though. And after thinking about it, I would rather use add-on locks that possibly have TSA or a foreign authority break the locks that were attached directly to the case.
2. The set advertised on the manufacturer's website comes with black protective storage bags. These do not. I didn't think they did, since it's not mentioned in the description, but since the same set comes with these bags on other sites, I thought I'd mention it.
3. Contrary to other reviews, there is no serious smell to these cases. A slight plastic smell was all I could detect and it was not anything that was going to be an issue.
4. The only issue I have with these cases is a minor one. They have a clear protective film on them (to protect the lovely glossy finish). On the largest case, the film stuck in all the crevices and around all the handles and wheels. It took me over a hour to pry all the little bits out with tweezers. This was not an issue with the two smaller cases, where the film seemed to peel away cleanly from the handles and trim. Don't let this stop you from buying these beautiful cases, but be aware of the film being possibly hard to remove.
I haven't used them yet, but am looking forward to never having to pick up the wrong bag on the luggage carousel again (Unless everyone starts buying these! LOL!)
