Disposable set of luggage at best

I was hesitant to purchase this set without reviews, but I, like others, was enticed by the Black Friday deal. If you are looking for a disposable set of luggage, this is it. The quality is equivalent to what's offered at your local discount store. The wheels are all plastic. The extended handle flexes a lot and the release button is sensitive so that the handle keeps retracting while you're wheeling through the airport. I've used the smaller bag as a carry on for a very short trip and it's already nicely scratched and dinged from a fall on the pavement. My guess is that rough handling by baggage check will likely be enough to break this set. On the positive side, the amount of storage is nice and the smaller bag held a weekend worth of clothes nicely with space to spare. The bag also fit well into the overhead compartment, but note that the smaller bag has no side handle - which I missed when lifting and lowering the bag. If you see this set for the Black Friday price again, consider it a maybe. But I definitely would not pay MSRP for this set. You can find much higher quality sets out there for the same price.
