I am writing this review a little too early! It has only been 2 weeks of school, and the bag is doing fine - holding up well. But then again - just 2 weeks! Hope I remember to come back and update it if it falls apart.This is for a first grade girl, in NYC school system. It is large enough to fit everything she needs for school. The bag holds its shape and doesn't slump down in a heap (which is always my personal pet peeve, don't think my daughter cares). She's also an Avengers fan, so it worked out well. The colors and print are exactly as shown in the picture - and I think it looks very pretty. Straps are comfortable, daughter loves the sternum strap, though she has loosened it to a point where it is not useful, but her bag isn't that heavy to warrant it (they don't need to carry the chromebooks back and forth).Bottomline, I like it. And for $40 I hope it lasts a few years.
