I have purchased a couple of these binders and they are very durable great for the kids that has to take them in and out of a locker or backpack. The colors are bright and the kids really love them. The edges hold up and the binder itself does not fall apart even after a year of use. The only thing that could be better is that after opening and closing the rings so much (they have to keep putting paper in and taking paper out) the rings themselves do not stay as tight by the end of about 6 months.
This is certainly one of the better quality binders I’ve used in my time. Admittedly I haven’t had it for long but I’ve had many a binder where the rings are no longer flushed together when closed and they start to have that little gap after only opening and closing the rings a couple times. I’ve opened and closed this one many times in the last couple weeks and the rings have stayed firmly together. That’s pretty much all it takes for me not to get annoyed with a binder so I’m happy. But there’s also the plus side of the flexibility where the binder bends so I don’t see it beginning to crack as quickly as some other binders do. And it was just as cheap if not cheaper than some of the big brand names out there. Happy with this purchase.

We now buy these binders for school after wasting our money on the cheap ones. The colors are fun and the quality is awesome even after a full year of school! The kids won't use any other kinds of binders!
