We love ours. It's the preschool-size, so we weren't really looking for a lot of bells & whistles. It's seems to be well-made, durable, and it's going on year 3 this fall.
My DD's held up very well for preschool. I'm planning to get her the size bigger for kindergarten.

another preschool fan here!
You can fit a folder in it, just barely. I got the Gear guide in the mail today with all the backpacks and lunch boxes in it. It says the preschool size is for ages 3-5 and the small is for 6-9. I'm getting my DD the small size for kindergarten because I know the preschool would be too small. It was fine for my DD to use in preschool and pre-k though.

We've been really happy with ours. DS1 has the smaller Star Wars backpack for preschool. I wouldn't want any smaller than that.

I didnt check the sizes, stupidly, and I thought the preschool one was too small, even for preschool. You can shove a folder in but the edges get bent and she also has to kep changes of clothing in there. So I made that her "play backpack" (she puts toys in it to bring places) and I got her the LLBean JR backpack which I love.
We have the preschool backpack and it worked great for us. Has held up very well. She carried a folder in it, a sweater and some days her lunch bag. She's starting K so I'm gonna get the bigger one.
DS who is eight got one to replace a cheep Target one that only lasted less than half the year. The Pottery Barn one he has had for a year and half. It is very well made. NO holes, not coming apart at all. It's held up really well. We just purchased another one from them yesterday for the same child who has been asking for a rolling backpack. I'm sure it will be made just as well.
