Got these as they are lifetime guarantee and am tired of constantly replacing binders through the school year. (I don't know what kids do but they are not gentle on supplies). Though the texture is a bit weird to get used to think these will actually last. I converted my cookbook to one and was able to get 2 2.5" traditional binders down to only 1 2" binder. These hold a lot more material. So far so good. A month into school now and nothing is falling apart with the kids or showing distinct signs of wear.
Our school required these while it does seem to be better than most binders we are on our 2nd one within 3 weeks due to the rings in the center not being sturdy enough. I think better quality needs to be put into the ring portion of this binder
My daughter bought this for her freshman year of high school. She considered getting multiple smaller binders one for each class but instead bought this larger one & keeps separate paper folders inside for each class. It is lightweight durable and very functional for her purposes.
Love these binders! I purchased them last school year and they are still in great shape. My kids are re-using them this year. They are pricey upfront but well worth it if they hold up to daily use.
