This is an absolutely beautiful piece of luggage. I have not used it yet but anticipate using it on a trip this week. Probably if I decide to keep it. The issue is size. The outside dimensions are pretty much exactly what they put in their ad. However the dimensions of the Box itself minus the Handles et cetera according to their Description should measure 20X15X10. It actually measures 19X14X 9.5. The interior dimensions are 18X13X9 For a total interior volume of 34.5 L. If the real Box dimensions actually matched there advertised Box dimensions The volume would be 41.4 L. That's a 20% difference. Not horrible but every little bit counts in a carry on . Actually as is it just barely fits the the airline allowances of 22X14X9 In fact the width is 1" over And the height is 1" under. I was hoping this would be a little bit bigger. In fact they could make it an inch taller and still keep it within tolerance of the airline regs. But overall it is gorgeous. It is solid. I love the clasps and the all aluminum construction looks solid.
