Useless and disappointing.
Only the bottom has structure. The top is very floppy which makes the zipper hard to close when its fully open. Its very heavy, and would be a pain to pack since it just kind of flops in on itself. The zipper is chunky and sticks and is a pain to close.

I don’t recommend
I bought this bag before my trip to Rome thinking that I could use it as a carry-on and while it adds an abundant amount of space, it is difficult to zip. It’s not sturdy. It overall is just a very unremarkable bag for me and I travel a lot. that’s what I do For work. I don’t recommend this bag for anything.

More is better.
I got three of these for my wife, daughter and daughter in law to compliment the Carry on Spinner i had purchased for them earlier, which was just the perfect decision.

Stylish, Spacious & Super Practical — Love It!
I recently got the Samsonite Better Than Basic Weekender, and it’s quickly become my go-to travel bag. It’s stylish and surprisingly spacious. I can easily pack enough for a weekend getaway or a short business trip.

Must have bag!
It has great quality, lots of room inside of the bag and light weight. I use it as my carryon bag for my trip to Europe due to size and weight restrictions. I love this bag for travel.

Perfect fit and classy look
We had been looking for a luggage set to fit a GT convertible (with limited space) that could also be used for air travel. After looking at hundreds of variations and price points we chose the Better than Basic Weekender to go with matching Pro Spinners and backpacks. It was perfect! The color, size, price and classy looks were a perfect fit. Extremely happy we got ...

THIS IS THE ONE!!
I purchased four better-than-basic weekender bags for myself, my husband, my son, and his girlfriend: two black, Tiffany blue, and the greystone (so cute). WE ALL LOVE THIS BAG!!!! My son used his bag already (he was thirsty) to go to a spa day. The girlfriend says it's so spacious and can pack everything. We all love the shoe compartment feature, which is a big bonus. ...
