This binder is long lasting and sturdy. I've used them for file keeping for the past three years. I will say that the rubberized ends are useful for keeping it from splitting but it does prevent it from sliding on shelves easily. which a convenient and inconvenient thing.
Very good item for the price and especially the quality. It has a sturdy back which makes it nice when someone is always opening and closing the binder. We use it as a reservation book so it gets a great deal of use. You also have a variety of colors to choose from so this is another way of sorting different things in different colored binders. The opening tab is so easy to use you will not loose a fingernail when opening or closing the binder. You can also put a custom front cover on as well as labeling it on the backbone.
binder is sturdy I like the see through window in the front and side so that I can properly label the binder. it also has a few convenient pockets inside for storing extra pages.
