The file folders do exactly what I need them to do. For many of them I have had to work a little harder than expected to get the plastic label tab to correctly go in to the slot and the tab has even torn the slot on a couple of folders. It would also be nice if there were a box with perhaps 20 of these folders and 5 of the file folders that have wider bottoms (e.g. 1 inch) to hold large amounts of paper. However they were an excellent purchase for the price I paid. They were the cheapest option by far and I am satisfied with the purchase.
Staples brand 100% Recycled Reinforced Hanging File Folders letter size 5-Tab 25/box were exactly the product I wanted but didn't know it until I purchased the last box on the shelf of my local store. The reinforcment helps avoid the really irritating ripping at crucial areas when used over long periods of time in our busy office. The 100% recycled content fulfills my policy of sustainability in as many areas as possible for our business activities. The colour is basic which I like so that the drawer is uniform and I can highlight the category for filing order by colour-coding of the tab labels. The extra boxes I ordered at the same time where shipped to my office free of charge in two days. Perfect.
Overall these were a good deal. They cost significantly less than the name brand files and they have held up very well. I haven't had issues with the glue giving out or the metal poles falling out. Each box had plenty of tabs included. I have no complaints and that is rare for me. I would definitely buy them again.
