I'm using this product for archival purposes and they won't get regular use nor will they be subject to heavy loads. Purchased these for a letter sized 'portable' document box and for that purpose they are just fine. Extremely affordable.
I purchased these hanging file folders a few months ago for the pupose of organizing files in my home. They are sturdy. Recently I decided to move some files to my church office for safe keeping. I knew this type of folder would fit perfectly in the file cabinets we purchased from Staples almost a year ago. The flat bottom is great for holding more papers. The tabs make it much easier to locate invoices etc. I plan to purchase more folders for our Pastor's office within the near future.
I bought these for my file drawers. The metal across the top of the folders is not long enough to fit comfortably; consequently the metal file holder bends with the weight. I would not recommend these for even the home user. Spend a little extra money to buy good quality!
These are your basic hanging file folders. They get the job done but nothing to get excited about. They don't slide on the rails very smoothly so you end up having to shove your files around to move them. They do hold up the files though so it's better than nothing. They are not reinforced but that doesn't seem to be a problem. I'm not storing rocks and using files heavy enough to need reinforcement would need a wider file folder anyway. As long as you don't over stuff them I don't think it would be an issue. I plan on using these for storage files only rather than high-use file cabinets. I'd rather pay the extra for the nicer ones in files I use frequently.
