Yes, very happy with it.
It's that realisation, the majority of the time I'm not walking around airports and their super smooth floors, I'm walking around European cities or US cities, with hard kerbs, cobbles, tram lines, stairs, etc.
These North Face things are dirt cheap compared to regular luggage, and pretty damn durable. About my only complaint is that they don't quite open fully for easy packing, but that is more than offset by being so durable and easy to trundle.

Need a new suitcase... and the wheels on this will take more urban knocks than most others, and it's cheap - less than £100 for all-weather EU size carry-on.
