The rings on this binder did not close properly and papers would get stuck on the points tearing them. I exchanged it for another one and the same thing happened. My child`s teacher said that this particular binder had issues with the rings and to purchase something different. My child chose this binder because of the rounded spine making it easier and more comfortable to carry which was a definite plus. We could not find any other binders with the rounded spine. It was unfortunate that the rings did not close properly.
Bought this for my 6th grader to use as her every day binder. Before the end of the first week of school the middle ring was separating. If staples is going to market itself as a back to school destination then their products need to stand up to kids
I really love the way it is made. It holds up to a lot of abuse and you can put a great deal of papers in the Binder. The colors a bright brilliant and fun. They look great in my office. Especially if you put them in a wire rack. You can put all of your bills for the entire year in say a blue binder; your bank statements and other financial statements in a green binder; recipes in a Pink Binder and so on and so forth. Looking at the binders nicely and neatly displayed makes me happy to look at them. It makes things so much easier to find. Enjoy
I bought this product for myself I liked way it looked. The rubberized spine and edges is one of the first features I noticed. I was so impressed I did not examine it much further-my bad. Not sure if the ring closer is just an issue with the one I have or not. I plan to return it to the store and look at another one.
My daughter needed a large binder for school. She destroys several during a school year so I thought this would be a good purchase. It seems very durable. However the finish on it does not make it backpack friendly. It does not easily slide into and out of a backpack. So within a matter of 2 school days she stopped using it.
