I was pleased with the quality of these binders as well as the price. I find them useful for long term filing of important papers because I am able to organize them and they don't get misfiled as they would with hanging file folders. I can also flip through to find what I need without having papers falling all over the place. They are sturdy and can hold up to frequent use.
I started using these binders while I was in college and 5 years later they are still the only binder I will buy! I am a teacher and use binders on a daily basis and I have yet to have one wear out versus other binders that I have had that have started to fall apart after one year. These binders are well worth the money!
It looks like an amazing binder a binder that can get all of your needs met and more but for me I thought it had double sided plastic so when I found out that it only had the front side. I was severely let down. I love the color and the round edge design but sadly I will have to return it because its lack of dual sided plastic sheet covers. If I was to need a huge binder this would be the first binder I go to. However needing such a binder is just too impractical. It's very big and bulky. It gets the job done if you need a big job to be done.
This binder is very durable. Although the cost is higher than some binders it is well constructed and worth the price. We use it daily and it stands up to all kinds of abuse.
I have used this binder for over a year. I work in a school and the binder stays on my desk. It doesn't get abused. The outside construction is good. The rubberized seams have held up well. The binder looks like new. I like the variety of colors as I like to color code my documents. The problem is the rings. They do not close tightly. I use this binder often and it is quite frustrating when I can't turn the pages without some of them coming out of the rings. I have several of these binders that have 1-1/2 inch rings and they do not have this issue. However all of my larger 3 inch binders in this style have the same problem. I can only recommend this binder with the smaller 1" or 1-1/2" rings but I cannot recommend this binder with rings larger than 1-1/2". Because the rings won't stay closed I must replace my binders even though they look like they are new. I am looking for a different style of binder to replace the 3-inch binders.
One of the most used items in our office are the Staples Better View Binders. Own many sizes and colors. Very durable easy to use closures hold very well. Love the variety of colors.
