Rings are cheap and flimsy. Within 3 days this binder was useless for my 5th grader. I presently use a 5x8 one of these for coupons and it is still going strong after 2 yrs. Seems like rings should be stronger to support dividers and daily school use.
I use many Staples products and have been impressed with the Better Binder D-Ring View Binders. The hold up under rough handling and come in a wide variety of colors so I can organize departments etc. with specific colors from your options.
My kids who are in Middle School and High School abuse binders. This Binder has held up better than any binder ever. It is firm but has enough give to it that it absorbes punishment. The prongs are sturdy and open and close easily and true.
The rings won't open or close only after 8 weeks of general usage. And worst of all Staples won't let me return it despite selling such product in a premium price but lasts such a short period of time.
Had to replace binder purchased from other store after 4 weeks of school use as it started coming apart. This binder is put together well and so far after 2 weeks of use is showing no signs of wear.
