> 3 dayMy luggage set actually arrived in just one day with prime, instead of two. It didnt really matter, since my trip is still over a month away, but it is always a nice surprise when this does happen. The reviews concerned me, at first, that I was about to pay $99 for something that would just get ripped up. However, I decided to go for it since I loved the polka dots and I dont see myself getting on a plane anytime soon, or maybe ever. I was actually surprised when I opened the box that the fabric felt thicker and higher quality than the one black rolling back I have been using for years (hand-me-down from my mom). The wheels roll smoothly, the handles open/close smoothly and have a nice, satisfying click to them when you push them back in. Small detail that doesnt matter... the whole handle is black, not gray or silver like in the picture. I actually prefer this. Another reason I like this set over others, is that the bags have the full length pockets on the front, instead of the two smaller pockets that most have. Not only does this look better, but allows for bigger/longer items (such as large envelopes) to be separate from the main bag. My zippers do not, in any way, seem cheap or plastic. I dont know if they upgraded the zipper pulls since previous reviews, but mine are metal with a thick rubber grip on them. They are quite nice and I dont see them snapping off at any point. The inside lining does zip open, if needed. However, the lining is pulled tight and, in my opinion, makes the need for extra support on the back of the bag unnecessary. I was prepared to do the cardboard adding thing, but I actually prefer the bags as they are, since they will provide more room for clothes without putting in a backing. The zipper lining feature is nice, though, as you could easily put extra cash or anything inside in case you are worried someone might go looking through your bags. Id imagine that the nifty cardboard idea would make the zipper pocket an even better hiding place. Additional features include little slide in name tags, side handles, large mesh pockets on the inner flap and a lock with two keys on each bag. The locks and keys do feel cheap (think middle school diary), but that doesnt matter to me as I never bother locking anything that can be carried away. The smell isnt as strong as I expected from other reviews, but it IS there and it is not pleasant. It is no more than you would expect from any new book bag or anything though. It will air out in no time. Overall, I am in love with this set, and I am so glad I bought it. This is my first luggage set, ever. I used to piece together random bags from my mom for weekend trips. However, we are about to embark on our very first week long family vacation and I figured it was about time to get grown up luggage. I highly recommend this set.. the worst that could happen is you might actually get a defective set, as happens from time to time with any product. However, amazon would help you to exchange them AND they come with a 5 year warranty. Happy shopping!

> 3 dayI bought this luggage a while ago and have used it on a few cross- country trips to include DC to Hawaii and DC to Seattle with a cruise too. The luggage has held up. The larger piece does not stand up all the time when it is full, which makes it a pain when traveling. The seams are starting to get a little pulled, but it is cheap luggage, what can we expect? It did get dirty, again - after some cross country trips what can we expect with a light pink colored canvas. All in all, for the price paid for al 4 pieces, I am giving it 4 stars. If you want something stylish, easy to find at the airport, and will hold up for a few trips then this is pretty decent luggage. I do plan on investing in some hard luggage with spinner wheels one of these days since this has the old regular wheels - but that luggage can wait since this is still holding up for now!

> 3 dayLoved this! I thought it was going to be Cheap looking and not good. Well was I threw off! It arrived within 2-3 days (to hawaii) had that new smell. I cant complain. I read through the reviews before buying it. They suggest to put car board in the back to make it sturdier I totally agree. Thats the only thing Id say if change. Love it!

> 3 dayVery well made substantial luggage. The dots are cute, but most importantly, good luggage for airline handling.

> 3 dayI brought these suitcases in January and was thrilled with the amount of suitcases and the color, I flew from Orlando to Colorado Springs last night on a nonstop flight , the suit case has a large tear by the zipper , while I expect wear a tear on a suitcase I did not expected it ripe the first time I used it . While I was happy with the value when I purchased the suitcase set , I am NOT happy with the workmanship . I would like to see about returning them when I get home from my trip

Greater than one weekBeautiful pattern but not sturdy at all. Even with just keeping the weight at 35 pounds they ripped the first time I used them. Cheap material. Not worth the money. Probably best for local traveling not airline traveling.
