We used these binders last year for school and felt they really did not hold up well. By Christmas all the binders we had purchased were falling apart and in some cases we had to purchase new ones.
My sons school requires them to have 3 ring binders for every subject. Before buying this binder we found ourselves buying replacements at the beginning of the second semester. We were actually able to make it the entire school year. Surprisingly we are able to use a few for a second year which has never happened before.
Am very disappointed in this binder. Just bought it daughter customized it with her own slide in cover/label put in all the dividers and paper to be ready for the first day of school... and it doesn't shut tight. One of the rings sits about 1/4" open when the other two are shut. Which means that every time you try to move the papers on the ring they get caught or fall out. I expect a lot more out of an $11 binder and am very disappointed that it is broken before it has gotten any real use.
We have to pull out this binder at least 20 time a day in the office and flip through pages but after a couple weeks of use the rings do not securely close and pages fall out. I've already exhcanged it twice and have gone through three binders hoping that the rings were just defective but it's happened every time! Tired of exchanging it and I finally just tried to return it but I no longer have the receipt so they won't take it back. Will just have to toss it because it's more of a hassle than anything else!
