I thought they had poles that pulled up and then pushed down. Instead, you are given multiple pieces of poles that you have to assemble after opening the case. Its not convenient. You also have to add side bars to make it keep its rectangle shape - if not is just folds into itself. Im not sure if you could check a bag on on airplane with these poles in the inside or if they would break. I found it difficult to get the garment rack poles slotted in correctly. And then you need to use a tiny little clip to keep them secured and that will be impossible to not lose. It just doesnt seem very sturdy, especially for this price point. The bag itself is very large. It has pockets and it rolls nicely. It should have a rigid outerframe that doesnt need to be assembled. And the poles should slide up and click - rather than all the little pieces. I think it will be a pain to deal with at recitals and end up not being worth it.

Loved this bag at first but only using this bag a total of 4 times this dance season and it already has a hole. Super disappointing.

Came very dirty. Looked used. Zipper metal chipping .

This just delivered so it hasnt been officially used yet. I wanted to put it together and test it out. Its for my daughters dance competitions. So far Im excited about it as Ill be the one hauling everything and itll be easier on my arms (I struggle with pain). After taking the bars down and zipping it up I wanted to just wheel it around to test it and I noticed one of the rings was stuck to the fabric. I peeled it off and it was rusted and the other rings have rust as well, just not as bad as this one. I have cleaned it off the bag as much as possible, but it still has orange on it when I wipe it off. I havent cleaned the rings yet as Im not sure how I should. So thats a little annoying, but all around I think this is still a good bag. Again, I have not fully used it yet.

This is a great bag. I purchased this for dance competitions for which I have a lot of costumes. The bag holds them all. The rack is sturdy and easily held 11 costumes. I also like that there are a ton of additional pockets and compartments great for accessories, snacks, etc. . The bag is easy to assemble. It is a little heavy but it is also made from really durable materials. This bag has definitely made comp season a lot easier.

My daughter is on an elite travel dance team and we have needed a travel bag for her to carry her multiple outfits for the competitions. We have been looking for a bag like this for a while now. It is very attractive to look at. It even says Elite Dance on it which is a nice touch. The bag looks attractive. On first glance, it appears to be well constructed. The materials are sturdy and the zippers work flawlessly. It has wheels that make it very easy to transport. The best feature of this type of bag is a pop-up hanging rack to hang the multiple outfits for her competitions. My only gripe about it is that its not as easy to set up the rack as I would hope. It comes with several interconnecting rods that are intuitive to put together. But it takes some maneuvering to install them. I didnt have a huge issue putting it together but my 14 year old daughter may have a much more difficult time doing so. Once it is together, it is stable and quite effective. In my opinion, a better feature would be to have the pop-up clothes hanger be a telescoping rack that is built-in to make for easier assembly. The bag itself is also very spacious and holds a large amount of cargo. It could be used (and likely will be) for general travel as well. Overall, this is a very nice bag and Id give it 4 1/2 stars if I was able, but thats not an option. I would recommend this bag for anyone needing a large travel bag with the ability for hanging outfits.

Pay attention to the negative reviews! My bag came totally misaligned. The components that hold the poles that keep the bag together were attached to a lining. That lining was sewn in completely crooked making it impossible to securely assemble the bag. You’re better off just springing $50-$100 more to have a sturdy, usable bag. Whatever you do, do not buy this one. Amazon made it right, but this seller’s merchandise is defective and shouldn’t be sold on this platform.

I received the dance bag today. It is a nice bag with plenty of space but it was covered in mold and had a damp feeling. The metal rings are also rusted. The box it came in was dry and it was wrapped in plastic. I am not sure how the water got inside. This is disappointing because I needed this for my daughters dance competition. Other than the mold and rust the bag is really nice. Very large with a nice hanging rack. I have sent a message to the seller. Hopefully I will get some assistance with this issue. It would have been 5 stars had it not been water damaged!

After I did a lot of research on a few duffle bag brands and read most reviews, I purchased this 28-inch duffel bag with rack for my daughters dance competition. I really like the bag in which the materials are of premium quality as described, and the bag is super strong and big enough to hold all the stuff without any problem. I tested all the zippers, and they are very strong and very easily holding up. There is an assembly instruction in the bag to show you step by step how to set up the rack. I suggested all the uses to read before starting to build up the rack to avoid breaking rods. I also watched the video on Amazon about how to set up the rack for this garment bag before I start to set up mine. I can set it up by myself without problem and the rack looks very sturdy. In addition, I had a great experience when contacting customer service. They quickly responded back to me and resolved my problem. I’d like to recommend this garment bag and the great customer service provided behind the product!

Bought for my daughter’s birthday and it broke during the first use at a dance competition. Big waste of money!
