My wife and I bought this Spinner in a trip to New York, we needed one to bring all the stuff we bought. We had a lot to choose from and we found the Solana Cobblestone very attractive and well designed. We used it in several trips around the world and still works as new. The extra space you gain when you make it expand it's really useful and another thing we liked a lot is that we always expand it and put everything we can, and it's always in the weight limit of the airlines. The wheels are great, it can be completely loaded and you still can control it with one hand and even play with it. I'm planning to buy another one already, but smaller for short trips.

We travel internationally quite a bit and wanted luggage with more stability for going over curbs and cobblestones. We are tired of kicking, pushing, lifting and stopping to stand up the 2-wheel luggage when it turns over every five minutes on uneven surfaces. This luggage rolls and turns like a dream. It is also made very well with an integrated garment bag and toiletry bag in the 28" piece. All zippers and pockets enforced for extra protection. The attached TSA lock is also quite handy. The address tag, though, is awkward and I foresee it coming off soon. But that is a small matter - just attach another tag. The inside is roomy and adequate for our needs. You can only take 50 lbs worth of stuff anyway, so there's never a reason to overstuff the bag. We got the taupe color. Very nice, if not unique.

I bought this online for pretty good price and I must say I am impressed with its quality. Wheels are very smooth and it rolls like benz :) TSA lock is nice too. FOUR WHEEL spinner really makes life a lot easier!

I've only used the suitcase once so far, on a trip across the country, and it worked great. The spinning wheels are wonderful for mobility. My only minor complaint is that the color is not close to any of the photographs that depict the "cobblestone" version. It's a much darker color - almost a khaki, but not as greenish...kind of a really dark taupe. I don't like it as much as the color that's pictured, because I was hoping the light color would make my suitcase look more unique in baggage claim, and the darker color looks like other people's dark suitcases. Not a big deal, but I thought I'd note it in case anyone cares.

This is a sharp looking suitcase. The spinner wheels are great. I want to get the other pieces in this collection.

This is a great suitcase. Well made and durable. We have used it as a checked bag 5 times already and it's held up great! The only issue we have is that it's already a little heavy so we can't pack as much in it as we want. We always go over the 50lb weight limit for checked bags and have to take things out.

I have so far used this only once, for a month-long international trip.

It was a pleasure to use. The nicest thing about it is how easy it is to carry around. I could push it around on the airport with a single finger.

It was large enough to carry what I needed for the month, plus a lot of Christmas gifts without having to cram anything in. However, I probably took less clothes or shoes than a usual vacation trip might require, since I was going just to my parents' home.

It has several pockets and folds, but I didn't have a need for most of them.

It looks good, and remains looking good after the indignities of international travel, but that was just one trip so far.

Especially given the price, I thought this was an excellent purchase.
