The folders themselves are constructed well reinforcements where you want them each folder would let you hold a lot of papers as they "stretch" well but the metal hanger parts are not good at all they aren't strong enough. Seems to me the part that makes them hang should be good and sturdy. If you get too many papers in the folders the weight causes the metal holder part to bend and makes the whole folder sag. In this case going for value didn't work so well should have gone the quality route. Too bad there's not a middle ground. So overall good for filing as long as you don't put too much into each folder.
These are folders like all folders. They are neat durable and easy to use. What can you say about folders for 400 characters? Not much. We use a lot of folders and these were economical. They were delivered quickly and easily. It was easy to shop for them. Luckily Staples makes on line shopping something that is very easy to do and if you have a problem you can call in and get almost immediate help. We go through folders very quickly and very easily. These are as durable a folder as we need.
