Sturdy Binder
on January 16, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
This binder is extremely sturdy; however the rings loosened up so that they would not close completely. I do believe this is because there were too may pages in the binder vs. a product flaw.
This has become one of my favorite notebooks. I provide my clients with a notebook each year to help them keep records organized. I have begun using this notebook for every client. Very durable yet pleasing to the eye. The rounded extra enforced edges also are gentle on the hands. I have not used one of these notebooks that tears at the folds. No catching the rough corner. The clear front and view binder makes it easy to catalog and show descriptions at a glance. yet you can give a lot more detail in the front view area.
This is a terrific binder for the price. It comes in many colors such as pink yellow teal dark blue enough to brighten any boring book case. The D-rings help hold up to three inches of material and make it easy to turn pages. You will find their are clear pockets on the inside front and inside back covers which makes it handy to hold a few pages of important documents that you made need to look at frequently. The outside front cover also has a top loading sleeve which allows you to slide your own personal cover onto your binder.
I am not crazy about this binder it is flimsey. and the other problem is that the rings do not hold up. I have yet to have a binder last for the whole year. When I was a kid I had the binder for several years before I had to get another one. his binder is expensive and for the money i payed it does not hold up.
Easy to grab off the shelf with the rubber hinges. The rings don't open as easily as I would like. I have some Avery One Touch binders and the rings open with less effort. If these binders had that kind of easy opening they would be the best I ever owned but that is the only downside.
I have a collection of papers I need to keep in binders. I have a binder for each year since 2004. The binders keep getting purchased each year since they are the same ones I started with. The problem I have is that one of the rings the bottom one does not seem strong enough to hold the amounts of pages it was designed to hold. You need to be very careful on how you open the book so the pages don't fall out. I really wish this would be fixed since I am stubborn and I want to have the same book each year so I will (stupidly) continue to purchase them.
