I recently purchased this product for an 11-day trip to Europe. It worked out very well. I used it as my primary piece of luggage and was able to use as a carry-on for my USA flight connections but had to check it in on flights within Europe. There are plenty of pockets to stick things in and the wheels were great. Because of its height and the amount of things I had stuffed into it, it was a little unbalanced at time when pulling it around, but, overall, I have no complaints. I don't imagine it will hold up for 10 more years, but, for ***, I'm sure I will get my money's worth over the next couple of years.
