This is our second one. We purchased one in August for school and the rings failed to line up and the side was tearing. Hoping the second one does not have the same problems.
I bought this for my son as required by his school supply list. By the 3rd week the rings were not lining up and started catching on things. It is now 5 weeks into school and is barely usable. What a waste of money I thought I would get a better product from Staples.
Bought this for my son who is in the 6th grade. He doesn't have much time for his locker so he is forced to carry around most of his stuff in his arms. He needed a solid heavy duty binder. This binder seems like it will last. It is constructed well but my only complaint is the rings dont stay together well. You just have to pay attention that they're together before you start flipping.
