Rating this bag is difficult because the construction seems fine, but it is really just too large to be practical for this style of bag. I am likely going to return it, but I could see where it would meet some people's needs.<br /><br />I had a very similar bag with the exact same pattern that I wore out. Because of the similarities shared with my last bag, I was anticipating this to be about the same size and didn't pay as close attention to the measurements  as I should of, and it is waaaaaay too big.<br /><br />I'm 5'7&#34; and when worn cross-body the bottom of the bag hangs to about my knee. Capacity appears to be about a full paper grocery bag (same height as one from the top of the opening to the bottom). It is so big that it looks absurd and comically large while being worn (my partner burst out laughing when I tried it on), and hangs low enough as to get in the way of walking when worn cross-body.<br /><br />Probably would be appropriate for times you need a large bag: a picnic or maybe working out. However, having carried this style of bag for several years, I believe it would be really uncomfortable to carry if you actually filled it to capacity.  It is too big for what I wanted it for (a day to day purse like bag, about 50%  this capacity that you can shove a small grocery shop or a sweatshirt or change of clothes in from time to time).
