Good sturdy design with solid ring lever. Built-in pockets were a nice extra. The rubber hinges for front and back covers will not crack and tear. Quality product..
Binder is OK for light paper work. They are not made like they used to be. I have three ring binders in my office/library that were made by Columbia (in the USA) for many years. They wear like steel. They look just as fresh as when I bought them even with all the service I have put them through.
