Quality and Durability

Pros:

  • "These are much sturdier and functional than more expensive luggage brands I have previously purchased."
  • "I preferred the sturdiness of these bags over other thinner nylon bags."
  • "Zippers are sturdy, tear resistant material, and the mesh on the front helps you know whats inside."
  • "These are of good quality and no problems with them falling apart."
  • "They've lasted a little over a year, I think I've taken them on 6 or 7 long trips, and they still look like new."
  • "The quality of these cubes is top-notch."
  • "The material, thread, zippers have held up with no issues whatsoever."

Cons:

  • "While they are Ok, overall they are nowhere near the quality of zippers fabric or mesh."
  • "I’ve had mine for less than two months and two of the four have already torn at the seams."
  • "Bought these a year ago. They work fine, except that the nylon threads from the fabric are continuing to fray a whole year later, which interferes with the zipper operating properly."
  • "The large size is way too big (my fault for not reading the dimensions) and the zippers are really tiny and flimsy."
  • "The material also feels pretty cheap."
  • "The AmazonBasics don't come close to EBags as far as quality."
  • "The material they are made of is a much cheaper feeling."

Functionality and Usefulness

Pros:

  • "These things have turned me into an expert packer."
  • "They're not just for travel; I've found countless uses for them in my daily life, from organizing my gym bag to keeping my closet tidy."
  • "They make it so easy to find items, and quickly transfer to a drawer when that option is available (i.e. condo or RV)."
  • "I reduced my travel trailer footprint to just 2 cabinets that now house all my clothing needs."
  • "Pack outfits together, keeps things organized in your suitcase so you can find them easily."
  • "I love that my clothes are organized and make it easy to find what I need."
  • "These cubes help me limit how much I pack, and because I group like items together, they help me stay organized on the road."

Cons:

  • "I expected something lightweight that would not add bulk to my belongings."
  • "The fabric is pretty thick, and even the mesh and strap are weighty, making extra bulk in your suitcase."
  • "In a suitcase, it does take up a little more room."
  • "It also wrinkles the clothes more."
  • "Some items are a little wrinkled, depending on the fabric."
  • "Since these cubes don't hold their shape, you are essentially trying to fit lumpy bundles into your suitcase."
  • "The mesh started separating from the other fabric after one light use."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

  • "I chose the lime green; a vibrant, happy color!"
  • "The green color is rich and bold (in online picture the color looks a bit washed out) so I was not disappointed."
  • "This blue is a gorgeous royal."
  • "They are attractive with two zippers that are easy to use and open from the top."
  • "They appear to be very well constructed."
  • "Very good design and construction, great price."
  • "These are good and they come in a variety of colors."

Cons:

  • "The only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because based on the picture I expected the sides to have more structure."
  • "It would also be better if they were each a different color so that you could quickly tell them apart and know what is in them."
  • "I will note however that the green color is a lot more intense than the picture shows—would have preferred the more muted color in the picture."
  • "For the manufacturer, I would recommend changing the tones of the blue cubes. In a suitcase, the light and dark blue look very similar and are hard to tell apart."
  • "It's more of a cobalt blue, not a sky blue."
  • "But one was defective and wouldn't zip and upon further inspection I saw it was because of the issue of the end of the zipper where there was a hole."
  • "My only complaint for this brand was that one in a set of four small blue cubes that I purchased lost some of its color when I washed it in the tub before using it."
