Every year my three children insist on a trip to Staples to purchase these binders for school. We now use them for home church and person record keeping as well. Very durable and professional looking. I appreciate the various sizes and colors.
If you actually use a binder for more than just storage the padded edges are great. When you use it your self it is protected and this protection is even more important when and if your binder is to be shared with others. The clear front make customization easy and effective. Also the easy to change and use label area on the side of this binder is a major plus. If you ever struggled to put a label in this places before you will really appreciate this feature. This is a big plus if you only label it once. If you re-label the ease multiplies. Being a three ring binder many useful accessories are available. Especially from STAPLES
I bought this for my education binder but my teenager wanted one too. It is a sturdy binder the variety of colors is good and it has a front panel to slip pictures etc. into.
These are high quality binders that will last through more that one year of use by a tough teen ager. The entry price is high compared to other binders. With multiple years of use they should pay for themselves in spite of the higher entry price. They come in many fun colors for kids to help identify the class they belong to. The binder is rugged and has held up to my eleven year old daughter who has destroyed lesser binders in less than ninety days. She has specifically requested these binders for all of her subjects.
I bought 2 of these binders. One is for my middle school daughter the other for me. It has only been a few weeks but they seem like well-made binders that ought to hold up well. I really like the way the rings are designed and that they open so easily. I am optimistic that I will be buying more.
