This is a very nice suitcase and would have been perfect but the horrible smell inside the suitcase rendered it unusable for a few days. I opened it and left it open to see if the smell went away. Not yet (in 4 days). The case seems very sturdy and is the only one I could find with a zip pocket for small items. I hope that the STRONG fishy smell will go away so that I can use this case. I will update so you know if I was able to use it or not.
