Nice looking but rings do not close evenly. Thus makes flipping through my catalogs nearly impossible. Tried putting fewer catalogs in the binder but again the rings do not line up and my catalogs do not flip through. I am thinking about returning three item but do not think there are better units available so I will just continue to limp through this product until as better one comes along. This is certainly not what I expected. Am disappointed and would hope I'll be able to find a more durable suitable binder to carry my catalogs.
The durability of these binders is why I purchase a few every year. With three boys I grew tired of binders that began to fall apart within a month or a few months at best. This past year was the first time one of my sons actually killed one of these binders. But thanks to the rebate program at Staples I was able to turn in the dead binder and save $2.00 on the next one. The only negative is the high cost. But by purchasing just a few each year the cost hasn't been too painful. I also appreciate that the colors have been consistent over the years so my "collection" doesn't look like a hodgepodge of clashing colors. Plus there's a wide assortment of bright colors so you can organize by child by class or purchase to match your decor- if you want.
I purchase a couple of your binders and I started at have some problem with the closure. They were fairly new when the problem started to occur. I expected a stronger quality.
This was bought for my Grandson that is just starting tenth grade. He will use it for his tech classes. He will be able to divide this up into the many projects that they will be doing. He was very happy with this binder. The two inch binder was what the teacher asked for. The blue binder will house note that he takes. hopefully it will help in getting and A. With the D rings all of the notes he takes like Browers control panals how to speed up a computer Write a computer program and many more will be held safly.
Has survived my own 3 years of college so far replaced my son's after 3 years through middle school. :) Lasts a long time! Plus it doesn't have the off-gassing of vinyl products.
I wish there was more variety of colors/designs available for the 2" binder. The 1" and 1.5" have lots to choose from but not the 2". I buy these binders for both of my daughters and can usually get two years out of them. Cheaper binders fall apart and start to rip but these binders stay good even with daily use. I love that I can bring their old ones in every summer and get $2 towards a new one. This in addition to getting more than one year out of them makes the extra price worth it. I'm really happy with this product.
