These binders are tough and last over 3 years of hard use hauled daily in a backpack and carried from class to class (ones of lesser quality and price only make it through 5 months of use). These are well worth the price.
So far so good. I have boys and they are very hard on their binders. I use them in my classroom and they are holding up great. They are so easy to open and close.
I love a bargain....especially since going back to school. May seem pricey at first but w/ sales coupons and recycling quite reasonable. They're almost indestructible!
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!
my 2 kids have gone though a lot of binders and this is the only one that actually lasted more than one school year. They use it everyday and it doesn't rip or break apart. The rings close nicely. colors are terrific.
