This binder does what it says. The rings don’t gap so you’re not constantly trying to put papers back in and the design allows you to put more papers in that a similar sized regular binder. My only suggestions would be to make the clear front insert and the pockets inside the binder big enough to hold regular sized paper and have the pockets be able to hold more than a couple sheets. But I’m happy to trade those off for not having to fix my papers every single time.
It's a big and beefy binder but the rings have a tendency to become misaligned and dislodged when turning over a small assemblage (twenty pages) of papers. I would not purchase again ... the potential buyer should not purchase at all.
Binder seems sturdy; one of the three purchased doesn't close well on the top ring- stays slightly open but the other two were fine. Locks shut. I didn't quite get the max number of sheets indicated on my rings but I had several tabbed dividers and some cardstock.
