I just bought this backpack from Millets.
It is hard to judge quality from a picture, but for that price I would say that you got something that is ok for a 3 weeks trip travelling from hostel to hostel, but not for a round-the-world trip or serious trekking where you have to carry the backpack 10 hours and more each day.
That you cannot find online reviews for the backpack is telling, it is a clear indication that it is not a branded backpack.
What is probably more important is that backpacks are like shoes, they are difficult to order online. Just like your feet your back is different from mine and from the next person. What is comfortable for me will be absolute torture for you.
When you get your backpack I strongly recommend that you load around 15 kgs into it and walk at least an hour with it through the city. (Hauling home some bottles of beer, water and soda from a supermarket that is a bit further away is the most practical way to do this.) This is the only real way to see whether it fits and whether the quality is good enough.
I also suggest you go to a shop with your Millets backpack and compare with the branded stuff there, you'll soon realise that real quality costs more (around 70-150 GBP).
Finally - I hope you do realise that the recommended size for a backpack is around 40 liters if you do not plan on camping? A backpack with a capacity of 70 liters (at least according to their website) is gigantic and way too large.
