This is the first notebook we have purchased in the last several years that lasted the entire school year. We had been replacing them every quarter before purchasing these. The rings are sturdy and close evenly. The binder is very durable. The only reason that we had to buy new ones for this school year is that the plastic "view" covers had ripped. Very good quality for the price and lots of color options. I really like the fact that Staples offers a "buy back" on this procuct. It made me want to go back to Staples to purchase new ones even though they are available at other retailers.
Using this binder to organize and present worksheets and projects for college course I'm taking this fall. It will make a great presentation binder for my final course Notebook. I highly recommend it for this use. Price could be a little lower.
Have been a buyer of Avery (highest durability) binders for many years. Tried Staples Better Binders and couldn't ask for more. The binder ring construction outlasts the wear and tear my boys give their notebooks. I find the rings hold up forever and if the binders din't look so worn by the end of the school year I could have my kids reuse them again because the ring mechanism still works perfectly. With other brands I have to replace them midterm because the rings don't open and close properly. NIce job Staples!
These binders lasted the entire school year and have begun this school year. After multiple trips in the backpacks and lockers they still look like new. The rings are durable and easy to use. In addition they come in a vareity of colors which makes it easy to color coordinate binders notebooks and folders for each class. They also come in a variety of width/depths. They are durable and when purchased on sale or with the $2 credit for recycled binders they are more than worth it.
I use the binder with reinforced margin paper for several purposes. Mostly to keep temporarily notes that you keep in your head or on small scraps of paper that you will never find again.
