I found these binders sturdy and easy to open. I love the bright colors that make them visually attractive. One of their best features are clear insert pocket on the spine which make labeling easy and clearly visible.
We bought this for school use. All students have to have a binder. Other binders we have used have lasted maybe 3 months. This binder is worth the little extra you pay to have a binder that holds up under the day to day use of a high school student. We only buy the Better View now that we know they are much better and last longer.
I purchased this 1 1/2 inch staples three ring binder to hold a book for college. I found the binder to be very easy to load. I needed the binder to hold approximately 335 pages. With that many pages I was still able to flip the pages relatively easy. I found the cost of the binder to be reasonable compared to other binders that weren't as nice-looking and as solid and sturdy. I would definitely recommend these folders to other people that require binding loose leaf books or large quantities of paper.
I like the spine label and D-ring but the pockets inside are awkward to use. This binder holds my papers well. Because the pockets are awkward I needed to add another folder inside which took up some room.
