This binder may stand up to wear and tear better than the regular binders that I have been getting. What I don't like with this binder compared to the other that I have been getting is that it does not give me enough room on the side to properly label. I only have a little maybe 1" wide by 3" long tab to put all of my information on whereas before it was about 2 1/2" wide by 9-10" long and that gave me plenty of room to label with complete dates and titles.
the rings are so thick that it makes sifting through pages an arduous task; otherwise I love the binder and am quite happy with it. I love the pop of color!
Needed a binder that was big enough to hold about 800 pages and this definitely delivers. It is secure and is extremely easy to open and close without hurting your hand.
It's large and sturdy and the cover has some flex. Exterior dimensions are 11" x 11 & 3/4". If only a little wider the interior pages' outside edges would be better protected (hence giving 4 stars instead of 5 stars). There's a slot in the spine to insert a label (included) and a front exterior pocket for a letter-size sheet. Inside front and back covers have partial sleeves to hold papers you may not yet be ready to file. All in all it's a utilitarian binder that can reliably hold a lot of pages. I use it as a photo album and am happy with the results.
