Brand new out-of-the-box 3” binders. Loaded them up with sheet music in document protector sleeves. All 3 binders have issues with the documents hanging on one or more of the rings. If I try to flip more than 3-4 pages several will actually slip out of the rings. The construction of the binders themselves seems to be good and the rubber reinforced hinges seem to be durable. Would not re-purchase these.
My last binder tore where the spine meets the front cover. This binder has a much sturdier hinge material. My only “complaint “ is the pocket in the front cover. I suppose if I was a student this would come in handy. But I will probably never fill it. A pocket that I could put full sheets of paper (8 1/2 x 11”) would be better.
I bought this to create a book of favorite recipes. I’m always adding or subtracting recipes that my family loves or didn’t work out. The notebook easily opens and closes and has an additional pocket in the front cover to slip in clippings. My daughter loved the ideas so much she wanted one too so she could have our families favorite recipes at her home. Notebook is sturdy and I feel confident it will withstand all the wear it receives.
