I was hoping to get everyone’s current thoughts on the B&R “Baseline” line.
I recently ordered one for my boyfriend’s birthday and was shipped the wrong bag - 2 wheels instead of spinner. I’m more of a 2-wheel gal myself and have been lamenting Tumi’s virtually discontinuing 2 wheeled designs, so I’m actually contemplating keeping this bag for myself and just requesting a cost adjustment to do so.
Now that I’m researching this a bit more than when I was basically told the specific bag he wants for himself, I was wondering how people are liking their B&R compared to Tumi? I keep seeing a few recurring themes from older reviews and was hoping to get people’s current thoughts:
1 - Are size issues still a problem? This 2-wheel seems more than 22” tall - I’ll be measuring it tomorrow to confirm. A bag which requires frequent checking is an immediate non-starter as my flights are generally shorter domestic slogs.
2 - What has the recent standard of repair service been? I’ve seen a lot of older reviews where this is a polarizing point.
3 - How has handle quality been? Has this improved at all?
4 - Are people still having issues with the bag tipping over?
5 - Any other key points someone should be aware of?
Apologies for the long post - just trying to be thorough. In part for myself and in part in case others are looking for updated information too. Thank you in advance for any help.
