Great set but skip if you travel a lot (SWH12984, Austin, TX, 2008-01-04)

Let me preface this with saying that I bought a different Traveler's Choice set in 2000 that I have used and still use until now. I have had to add new roller wheels to the suitcases and ditch the carry-on, but otherwise, no complaints. This set went on two international trips per year and the medium sized bag went on a couple of other trips per year. I was IMPRESSED with this luggage so I bought the second set... OK, so about this set. I bought this set in October 2007 because of an upcoming trip to French Polynesia. Air Tahiti Nui had strict limitations on the dimensions of luggage (L+H+W), which ruled out the largest of the "old" luggage. Also, since we were going for 17 days and had to be able to handle our own luggage (ferries, etc..), we were limited with the number of bags we could bring but needed a large suitcase. So the luggage arrived in October. We took all three pieces in addition to another carryon. The luggage survived Austin to LAX fine, including transfers to the shuttle to the overnight hotel to the shuttle to the airport to the airport screening machines for our flight from LAX to PPT. When we arrived in Tahiti, the top handle on the medium bag and the side handle on the large bag both tore at one end. The bags were weighed in both AUS and LAX and neither exceeded the 50 lb weight limit. The other side of the medium bag tore at the other rivet when I tried to use the remainder to position it onto the customs screening device (basically the entire top handle tore off). Needless to say, it was miserable trying to deal with the luggage after that point. Otherwise, this was a good set. LOL. I just don't know what to think about it. I wouldn't buy this particular set but the last Traveler's Choice set was good once we replaced the wheels. Thanks, Heather P.S. I am an Engineer which is why I detail so much

c+ but shoulda bought an A- (Korynl, Statn Island, NY, 2008-05-11)

I opted to wait a few months to review this product. Overstock surprised me with my two purchases on the quick delivery and packaging. I will purchase from them again. Now on to the luggage product in question. I scrutinized several sites and needed luggage fast with reliable quality AND with a bit of a unique style (black luggage was not going to work for me), for very little money. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived, although, I apparently forgot I really wanted swivel rollers. In any case, I travel a great deal. It has held up exceptionally. Since I purchased it I have traveled 7 times via airplane (we all know that luggage is not handled with love and tenderness) and there is no issue with durability. I am disappointed that just the front is in red and the rest is black. Since I travel many times a year, I do not want to search for my luggage, and I have to search, because it inevitably ends up face down on the luggage carousel with the black showing up...not the happy red. I have also noticed that it is attracted to dirt. It just sucks up dirt and wears it proudly like a kid wears their new clothes on the first day of school. Although durable, and well made, I am having a problem with the larger piece of luggage. It will hold EVERYTHING, including the kitchen sink. I am sure if I put the kitchen sink in, I could still fit my entire wardrobe....however, be careful, and the new airline rules do not apply to this train of thought. It will hold well up to a thousand pounds....or at least 70 pounds, and this is not the industry standards for domestic travel. In short, it is a great set for the casual traveler, but for and avid mover and shaker, spend the extra hundred bucks and get the swivel that weighs less, and pick a luggage you can recognize as soon as it arrives on the carousel with a penchant to deflect dirt.

Overall Good Value (catwoman1830, Boulder, CO, 2009-05-16)

I purchased the Amsterdam 4-piece luggage set after the telescoping handle on the largest case of my former luggage (not this brand) became almost impossible to retract. When the luggage arrived (I chose the red set) I was extremely pleased by its appearance, but dissappointed with the intense new vinyl odor it emitted. However, after allowing the set to air out for a day or two before use the problem corrected itself. I delayed writing this review until I could use the luggage, which I did, three of the pieces anyway, on a recent trip by air from Colorado to Indiana and back again. The roll of the luggage throught the airport was quite smooth and the largest of the cases performed wonderfully. The smallest of the rolling cases also rolled well, but I was disappointed to find that it too had difficulty retracting without my having to align the telescoping handle parts very carefully. The other odd issue I encountered was that the luggage, which only has the reddish color on the front, tended to turn face down on the luggage carousel causing it to look like a black suitcase. Therefore, I allowed the pieces to pass me numerous times before I realized the cases were mine. On the return trip I paid more attention to the luggage tag, which I wish had been less visible to others, and in the future will mark the pieces with a unique ribbon on the handle to assist in this regard. Despite these limitations I would definitely recommend this luggage to others as it held up beautifully during the entire trip.

A nice set for the price. (Shorty, Her Own Stylin' World!, 2007-12-04)

This is the first real set of luggage that i have ever bought. I thought it looked like a great deal with the low price and all the pieces that you get. I was very impressed when it arrived actually. It is a good looking set, and seems pretty durable. I really like the giant sized suitcase. Being a women, it is the perfect size for me to carry everything i need, even my own pillows! The small bag is great for all those important toiletries, or take it along to keep your laundry in. My husband and I actually share this set because there are enough pieces for us both. He travels a lot for his job and uses the medium sized suitcase. It has faired pretty well after making the round through several airports. My only complaint is that after his last trip, the suitcase he took came home with the front emblem ripped completely off! I did not think it was that easy for those to come off, but then again they are pretty rough with people's luggage... Needless to say i was a bit unhappy... I am also a bit concerned about how well the handle is going to hold up on the giant sized suitcase. Overall, this is a great starter set for anyone and i would purchase it again. I don't think you'll find a set with this many pieces and this quality for less.

It's OK (cronky4, Upper NYS, 2009-10-01)

You get what you pay for. The luggage is OK. Nothing to write home about. There is the awful plastic smell when you open the luggage. Had to leave it opened for a few days. Even then the smell wasn't totally gone when I packed. Clothes are OK though. No smell. This is the first trip with this luggage, so I am not sure about the durability. Was disappointed that there are not side and front pockets in the base of the luggage, only pockets on the front and inside the lid. Having had that in previous luggage, I was forced to rethink packing some items. As stated in other reviews, the luggage is only colored on the front of the bags and black everywhere else. If your luggage is upside down on the conveyor, it looks like all the other black luggage. Just FYI, the front of the luggage is not a solid color but kind of a hounds tooth with black mixed in with the color you chose. I did get the color I ordered, so that is a plus. All in all, if I had seen it prior to purchase, I would not have purchased it. Because I was leaving on a trip a few days after I received it, it was easier to use it then send it back and try to find other luggage. We will see how it holds up.
