Avery Durable View 3 Ring Binders for Home School Supplies, Office Supplies, or Home Organization, 1.5" Slant Ring, 4 White Binders (17576)

Wonderful product! It is very durable, and my pages lie flat, because of the D-ring when open. The rings are easy to open and close.

I've been using these for years. I am a trfavel agent. I use them to collect all the documents my clients will need for their trips, including tour voouchers and information, maps, hotel vouchers. etc. They are high quality and you can design asnd print a personalized cover and insert it in the front cover.

These were a bargain and just what I need to organize my quilt and craft patterns. They are very sturdy and I expect they’ll hold up well. I like being able to slip in labels and covers to identify the contents.

If getting an Avery binder, definitely go with the "Durable" model over the "Economy" and the "Heavy Duty" - here's why:- The Economy use very flimsy cardboard and therefore the binders bend very easily. The material used to cover the binder is also thinner and tears easily. These binders are a total waste and I would not even use them for light use.- The Heavy Duty have what they call a one-touch EZD ring. This means instead of two tabs to open the rings - one at the top and one at the bottom - there is only one at the bottom and it actually opens very easily. So easily that with little use the rings will actually develop gaps. Gaps obviously continue to get worse over time, make it so difficult to turn pages, and also cause pages to come out and tear where the holes are. In addition, the rings don't open evenly which also contributes to the gaps. With a tab on only one end it will pull one side of the rings with more strength than it pulls the other side. I'm not a fan of the one-touch EZD ring for these reasons.- The Durable model - this model - is the one I prefer. For starters, the cardboard used is quite sturdy and will protect the contents stored in your binder.-- The cover material is of decent quality and it takes very heavy daily use, often over years to cause damage such as tears. Some of the Avery Durable binders I have are easily 8 years old - a few others lasted only 3 years. It just varies on your usage.-- The rings make a loud noise when opened and closed using the tabs - it is a very strong closure and they are very strong quality.In my experience they have not developed gaps in the rings, even when the binders are filled to capacity. Note that I only ever open/close the rings using both end tabs - I never pull or push on the rings themselves.-- The d-ring does have a bit more of a slant than I prefer, but that's about the only real down side here. The larger the binder, the bigger the ring slant.-- Binders have standard front and back pockets. They also have clear view pockets on front, back and spine.

Great Deal

Good value, I’ve bought and used many!

I ordered the Avery 1/2" slant ring binders as I've used them before, they are very durable and the plastic covering does not rip at the seams. The price was so good I ordered 4 of them.

Actual binders were average quality and a great price at the time of purchase at less than 3 bucks a piece. Two did arrive with dirt in the clear pockets but I was able to clean them out. Probably more of a seller issue than having anything to do with the actual binder. The bumps along the bottom of the binder are a little sharp, but you get what you pay for!
