Review on Rockland Journey Softside Upright Luggage Set, Blue, 4-Piece (14/19/24/28) by Pamela Mcgee

You get what you pay for. I needed a suitcase quickly for a trip to Paris because I realized the wheel on my existing one was broken. I didn't want to spend too much money. This set was cheaper or about the same price as one good quality medium sized suitcase. This quality is really bad though. The zippers are light and flimsy. I'm not confident they'll last long. They did make it to Paris and back; survived airport baggage handling and about a hundred zips during the trip. I was terrified every time I lifted the suitcase. The handles are flimsy, the fabric is cheap and thin. I'm very skeptical about these joints surviving another 2 or 3 trips into the future.The worst thing about these cases is that the front legs are too short. So when you fill the suitcase, it becomes heavy and tips over onto its front. It cannot support itself upright because the legs are very short. If they were about half inch longer, I don't think the bag would tip over. So, I think that's a really poor design and there clearly isn't much quality control happening with this manufacturer. If you don't mind resting your suitcases on their sides instead of upright, I guess these are okay. But it's a pain in the bottom walking through the airport and they can't stand up on their own for even a moment.
