These are quality binders. The selection of sizes allows for organizing different amounts of documents. As a self-employed builder I use them to organize all my customers' paperwork (blueprints and such)in order to quickly refer to them when needed. I usually purchase these when taking advantage of my Rewards points and Staples sales.
My daughter's original 7th grade binder was literally falling apart along with her grades so I bought her two of these in different colors so she could easily see which one she needed for class. I love the durable construction she loves the colors and now we are both happy with the improvements...in organization and grades!
I have been using these binders for years in a greasy dirty environment as daily work logs for mechanics and construction workers. I have never replaced one in the 8 years I have been using them personnel turns over and I just reuse them for the next guy :o)! I wipe them down occasionally. My only complaint is that I wish the pockets on the inside covers were a little more durable. VERY satisfied!
I purchased two of these binders in blue and green. The colors are very vibrant the material is super durable and I love the way the way it opens with a touch of a button. They are a little pricey but worth the money. I don't think these will fall apart or wear and tear as previous binders have. I'm going to buy some more for my son who is in high school. Maybe he'll enjoy organizing a little more if he is using a product that actually does the job it was designed to do. Thanks again for introducing me to a wonderful product.
My middle schooler is very tough on books and binders and her small locker at school doesn't help. I bought one of the 1 1/2 inch binders last fall when they were on sale (and because it was pink). She uses it for Math class so it gets more use than any other binder. After three quarters of school it is still in great shape. In fact I replaced two of her other binders (Avery) with this brand because they fell apart. I plan to buy this brand exclusively next year! It may cost more up front but it has been worth it!
