These binders hold up to just about anything. While more expensive we have used the same ones for three years and they still look new/barely used! Highly recommend for middle school/high school.
In general binder quality is good but as a result of handling in the store it was scratched on the front. Of course I did not notice that at first but only when got home. Very disappointing.
I have had oneof there for many years in 3” size.Filled with recipes it became too heavy to handle easily so I got 2 smaller ones to divide the volume in two. Quality has not diminished in the six intervening years! Strong “hinges” sturdy rings and lever perfection. Don’t hesitate to try these binders.
