Basically, it's a decent binder. The ring mechanism works well (for what it is), it's reasonably sturdy (but see below), and it looks good in the dark blue.

Issues I have with it:

First, keep in mind that this is a circular ring binder, and the rings are on the spine. For my purposes, a D-ring binder with the ring on the back cover would have been better. If it's even 2/3 full, the papers in the back get curled up toward the spine when you close it unless you adjust them with your fingers as you do so, and you are forced to change their position every time you open or close the binder. This is something I should have considered before buying it, and I will be more conscious of this next time.

Second, although it makes no such claim, I can say that this binder is definitely not heavy duty. Through what I would consider moderate use (backpack) over a couple months, it has developed a tear at the point where the front cover connects. It extends all the way from top to bottom and allows me to completely remove the cardboard from the front cover. In practice, this isn't a problem, and it seems to be holding together fine otherwise.

I'd still recommend it.

What we really liked about this binder was the price. We bought them from Amazon during the Back to School sale and paid less than $2 a binder. With two kids in school and each subject requiring its own 2 inch binder, Wilson Jones helps us out with a great price! The binder is sturdy-so far it is holding up to being jammed into the overloaded backpack time after time. The rings are tight so no lost papers and the inside pockets are very handy-our kids put their completed homework in there to turn in. Overall, a great deal!

These binders perfectly filled my need. You can't buy this size and "center open" design anywhere anymore. They are very well built & exactly what I was wanting!

I needed a decent-sized binder to hold my psychology materials, and this one gets the job done. Decent price too.
