The backpack is smaller than your average one, especially for high school students. Seems to be thin material that is cheaply made. It could work for college students needing to take a laptop along with a couple of notebooks or a singular binder. Not much else beyond that. Only one large zipper pocket. A medium/small zipper pocket in the front as pictured that could be used to store smaller items and writing utensils. The straps are very short. Probably best for a young elementary student or minimalist college student. You get what you pay for.
