This bag is in the heavy duty family that I was looking for, but it's more of a tool bag that what I wanted: a grocery bag. But I cannot give it fewer than 5 stars because of *my* needs.If you need to haul tools or items that would punch through the "designer" tote bags, you WANT this bag. These things are sturdy, and will outlast dozens of the designer totes. If it's not pretty enough, have your kids decorate it as a project.My issue (mine, not the bag's issue): it's a little narrow at the bottom for my grocery hauling needs. that's all. If I don't find another source for my beloved Josephson's (out of business!) Coal Bags, I will get more of these.
