This is a very high quality binder. We purchased it for our children who have been blowing through them at school. This seems to hold up much better than the previous binders we were buying. It has only been a few weeks but typically in the past we have already had problems with the rings lining up when closing. This has a very easy one handed tab to open and close the binder. This has helped keep it in alignment. It is showing some break down at the seams but it is stuffed into an over filled backpack. Would recommend.
