Used for back issues of Garden Gate magazine. I like 1) the construction--corners won't tear 2) rings operate smoothly and 3) ease of labeling spine. The only negative--the flat sides of the rings need to be about 1/8 or 3/16 inch longer before the bend to the closure. Binder is more expensive but worth the extra cost because it will last for years.
this is quite ironic to have received this e mail this evening. My son ( who uses it for school) just wrote a letter to the corporate office in reference to this binder. we have had continuous problems with this binder both the 1 1/2 inch and the 2 inch every time we purchase them. the d rings become uneven and rip all the loose leaf pages and makes it virtually impossible to manipulate the pages. horrible construction. Do you make it this way so we have to buy more every few weeks?
I love the 3" binder for recipes. The binder lays flat and I can read the recipe without a problem. My granddaughter uses the 1 1/2" for school and organizes everything in it. My husband likes to put his sports clippings and trading cards in the 1" binder. We enclose everything in see through sheet protectors then into the binder. These binders are very sturdy and I have never had to replace one because it didn't hold up to the task not even with my 3 year old grandson flipping though the pages.
These are the best binders that I have ever used. They are easy to open with one hand and you never have to worry about getting your fingers pinched when you close the rings. They are well worth the extra money.
