Unfortunately these inferior replacement binders are lighter more poorly designed and built than the Avery ones. We only buy them as there is no choice.
The outward appearance seems very good. My concern is that the rings do not close securely once you place a large quantity of handouts in it. I fear that the binder may open.
This is my second batch of these view binders. I use them for various topics but the ones that get the most use are those used for my recipe collection. Everyday I grab one of both off the counter browse through open and close them so they need to be tough. They're also easy to clean which is important when they live in the kitchen! Just a quick wipe with a damp cloth and they're like new again. The "view" front and binder edge are perfect and I can create my own title pages to fit my needs.
This was used to mount photos in clear sheets for a family gathering. The notebook was sturdy enough to hold a great many sheets safely and they were easy to flip back and forth.
