So far so good. I bought this binder to replace one that was falling apart. I don't think this binder will have the same problems. It's sturdy easy to use and isn't going to fall apart like the cheaper plastic/cardboard binders.
I was looking for a binder that was going to give durability in the type of environment I work in (humid hot opening and closing of the binder constantly). I picked this up and it is a little hard at first because its a little stiff. But once broken in works like a charm. Have gone through many of binders but from all that I've purchase I think this binder will serve me well for the years to come.
