Poor quality

These are very poor quality. First we stopped at our local store - completely out of stock. Went online and am very disappointed in quality. Its time for me to buy elsewhere.
When a box of 100 manila folders three-tab costs only 50 cents more than a package of 25 you know you got a good deal. These manila folders are what serves my needs best. I get at least 50 to 60 assignments a year and some of these require more than one folder each. So it was truly welcome that these file folders were on sale that day. They are good quality.
We use A LOT of folders and we're NOT gentle with them. We fill them pile them up pull them out of file cabinets roughly open/close/open/close and need to keep them in circulation for up to 5 years of weekly wear. We used to spend more for the 'reinforced tabs' and thought it was necessary because of the need of durability. WRONG! In a cost-cutting measure we were forced to purchase the "standard" version and over three years have found that "standard" is actually an under-rated description. We are HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY to be spending less and getting a top quality product that serves our purpose nicely.
You can not beat this product for the price. The manila file folders are sturdy enough and since they are inexpensive you will not feel bad when you finish with a folder and start a new folder. I like using Stales products and getting rewards points that help save money. You can usually find someone in the store to help you find the product you are looking for. Staples has many convenient locations in small shopping malls as well as stand alone stores. Also the weekly store adds are good.
