My high school child has used these binders for the last 3 years! He's very hard on binders and folders and usually goes through 2 to 3 binders per subject during the school year. These binders are very sturdy hold alot and have an interior space to hold paperwork. The front has a plastic cover that he slids his syllabus in for easy reference. I have yet to buy a "replacement" binder during the year because these binders hold up so well. I won't buy any other binder - ever!
