Heavy and kind of plasticky. Probably about what you'd expect from a cheap briefcase.

This briefcase is heavy. The whole thing squeaks and strains under its own weight when being carried by the handle, you know, like the way you'd expect to carry a briefcase that only has a handle. Technically it's expandable, but that's by way of unsnapping a flexible gusset from the inside. The folds of gusset material are kind of in the way of keeping items that are a full 11x17 inside. And since the gusset is at the bottom of the case you have to some how pile in all your crap then hoist up the rim to latch to the lid. The nominal width inside is a hair over 17 inches, but the hinges limit the width to 16 1/4 inches. So you can only store full sheets at the bottom (where the gusset and buttons are sticking out).
