I used these for an executive level course I offered. Organizers were thrilled with the binders in contrast to previous offerings of the course where a standard (boring) white binder was used. I was able to select a colour that went with the colour theme of the materials. Participants value the inside pockets. I ordered 54 binders and only one of them was slightly difficult to operate.
Both of my junior high (7-8) students need binders for all their classes. In the first few weeks of school the regular binders were ripping at the seams. The better binders have worked well and the opening and closing mechanism are used several times each day without any problems.
Bright colors make it easy to assign a color to each family member and special projects- graduation or hobby scrap booking or subject Insurance medical remodeling. Keeping receipts Printing out ToDo lists Completed and Pending makes it easy for my husband and I to monitor the remodeling project. I rely on my computer for an overview but need one place to keep the torn out magazine pictures room sketches paint samples and downloaded room pictures all in one place. Keeping tabs and envelopes within the binder keeps things in one place and off the kitchen table most of the time. I can keep my dream maker organized.
