These are strong good-looking binders. They are solid plastic instead of the usual plastic-wrapped cardboard. I’m very happy with them for a project that I will display on my bookshelves indefinitely.
It is a strong sturdy binder. I have bought others in the past and they have lasted for years with breaking at the seam. They are used to hold reference material here at the office and and handled quite often. I this particular binder has inside pockets but the pocket run along the side instead of in the usual spot. The pocket on one side of won't hold a standard sheet of paper. That's the only reason why i don't give it 5 stars
The rings in the binder I got do not close all the way (so when flipping pages it requires extra work - I know 1st world problem right?!). I needed the binder right away so could not go back and exchange it. Before you buy just check to make sure that the rings that hold your paper actually close - and if they don't grab another one. My husband got the same binder and loves his - his papers don't get stuck between the closure ends of the bottom D-ring like mine do. NBD just something to check for before buying.
I bought a number of these binders. I found them to be well-constructed sturdy exactly what I needed and the price was very competitive. Strongly recommended.

Great Exterior...flimsy interior pockets

Binder itself is good but the interior pockets (front and back) rip incredibly easy. I have two of these and the front pocket ripped out of each while filling it initially with about 15 sheets of paper.
