Rockland Hardside Expandable Luggage

We bought the 20" version of this bag about 18 months ago and traveled with it multiple times since without a problem. Before traveling to Alaska for three weeks, we decided to replace our old 28" bags with the 28" version of this brand, since we liked the smaller version so much. We bought two sets and packed both to be well under the 50-lb limit set by the airlines. The wheel broke off my husband's bag as we wheeled it into the hotel on the first night of our trip. The first wheel on my 28" bag broke off on the 10th day of our travels, and a second wheel on my 28" bag was missing when we got to the airport for our final leg home. We left home with a total of 8 wheels between the two bags. We made it home with 5. Not great odds. I admit that we were on and off multiple planes, trains, and buses during our journey, but that's what travel often is and that's what your luggage is supposed to survive. According to the manufacturer, this luggage is, "...made of ABS. The major benefits of this material - it is extremely lightweight, it is durable, and protects the contents of your luggage." I would suggest that unless you're packing to do a driving trip that doesn't involve anyone else handling your luggage, pick a different brand. Their five-year warranty doesn't cover "damage by the common carrier" making this stuff worthless for anyone traveling on commercial carriers...which is most of us.
