We have bought several of these binders while the covers are durable the rings are not. You have to be very careful when turning pages/papers through the binder or you can vey easily break one of the rings and it will NEVER close properly again. It has happened on every binder. The rings are fragile. I would recommend for an older student not a young child.
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.
have been buying these binders for a few years and they hold up very well compared to others that my kids have used for school. My daughter requests these..
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.
