Without a doubt, this is the best luggage for the money - actually for almost any amount of money. We bought two sets, the burgundy (red), and the blue. The pieces are so large and roomy that we actually only needed to buy one set, but for the value, we're glad we bought both. Note that the red set is only red on the front...it's a good idea to identify it personally somehow so you can find it on the luggage carousel, in case the black back is showing topside. The navy blue set is navy on all sides. As other reviewers have noted, these suitcases do need about 3 days of airing-out if you're sensitive to plastic smells. The zippers, handles, wheels, and corner protectors will meet or exceed any luggage-throwers tests. Some people might not find the small tote bag of much use, but I found it to be a perfect sized under-the-seat carry on. These are rugged pieces of luggage, and you can't go wrong buying a set.
