The briefcase arrived a day earlier than expected and it was everything that I hoped it would be from the pictures on line. It was roomy, looked to be of high quality leather and more expensive by at least $150 from what I paid for it. I have been using it for several business trips now and it is holding up well. I would recommend this briefcase to anyone who wants a roomy but light weight, leather case, with many compartments for files/misc. cosmetics, etc items for just trips to the office, or for travel. Thanks so much, Lilli
