Travel Select Amsterdam Lightweight 29-inch Rolling Upright Suitcase

I ordered this suitcase about a week and a half before I was to leave for Hawaii so I was very glad it arrived quickly in five days. I chose to order from Overstock because they had the bigger size suitcase. Other retailers offered the same suitcase but in a smaller size. I was very happy I decided to go with the larger size because my suitcase was filled to the brim with extra goodies on my way back home. There was plenty of space for everything and I especially loved the shoe section of the suitcase. I normally put my shoes in a plastic bag and throw them in but with this suitcase there is no need to do that. I also loved the color. My red suitcase was easier to find in baggage claim and withstood the harsh conditions under which bags are handled. I would definitely recommend this suitcase!

I bought this suitcase for my fiance and we were both surprised how attractive it was -even better than the picture. It's a good size too. I would highly recommend it in grey- it's the best looking inexpensive piece of luggage I've ever bought.

I purchased 4 of these suitcases, one for each family member, for our vacation to Hawaii. I will tell you that we jammed them full for the trip back (lightest one was 45 lbs; heaviest was 49.5 lbs!) and I really expected to see some ripped seams or split zippers but they held up great. The wheels are really strong and are mounted so they won't snap off, as happened to our old suitcase. Also, there is a handle on the bottom so if you're picking it up by the top & bottom (ie when it's coming off the airport baggage carosol) you don't have to use the wheels. Time will tell how durable they remain, but based on this first trip I think we'll have them for several years to come.

I like the appearance and it works great when needing to pack for a long trip or to go skiing. The durability of the handles is not good. On the 2nd trip out when pulled off of baggage turnstile, the handle broke. Keep in mind the bag was no heavier than 50# which is the airport limit unless you want to pay extra. The handles should withstand lifting 50#. My suggestion is to lift it by the 2 handles and wheel it. There are some other rips and tears that are superficial. We have used it 3 times. You get what you pay for, that said the airlines are rough on luggage, so I am not sure I would want to invest in expensive items either. If you buy it do not carry it by the handles if close to 50#
