It fits nicely into my backpack as well. It adds a little extra padding to protect the roof which I like. This cabinet so perfect for my needs that I just keep buying the darn thing, LOL. Sizing: I ordered the same size my daughter wears in Nike?s (which fit her comfortably with some wiggle room). Assembly was easy and straight-forward. I love that it has the light! Simply doesn?t fit. Other than this, the chemise is a great buy. Leider habe ich die Sandalen sofort angezogen, bin damit hinaus auf die Straße. I cannot speak to longevity as I just got these, but I have high hopes!
