I bought this for my daughter to use at the start of middle school this year. School started the day after labor day and by the beginning of October one end of the binder had come a loose from the spine. By the end of October the both ends had come apart from the spine so all my daughter had left was 3 rings that held her course work together. I thought purchasing a heavy duty more expensive option would last her through the year. But to not even make it to the 2-month mark? That's ridiculous.

3-Ring Better Binder

Binder can be improved by making the covers stiffer to help it stand on on edge (like a book in a book shelf).

This binder is well made and I expect will last many years. It is conveniently designed so that the pages open well and don't get smashed in these larger sized binders. Yes I recommend it.

This thing broke after 24 hours. Not solid use - just minor use. It is a pain to use also

Holds Up Strong Through The School Year
on July 22, 2014

I'm going into high school and I plan to continually buy this binder. Over the course of the school year little damage was prevelant and it was still in pretty good conditon. They have a lot of colors to chose from to suit all people. It has a nice label on the side to put your name on or something and everything felt secure and not like it was going to fall apart the first week. My only problem that I had with it is that the binder rings became unalligned by the end of the year so papers got stuck or fell out. But yet at the same time it lasted way long than an Avery Heavy Duty binder would. So you could buy one Staples Better Binder to the last the year or 2-3 Avery Heavy Duty Binders. I think the choice is clear.

I have used this product for my genealogy papers and was so impressed with them so I purchased them for my granddaughter's school projects.
