how durable are these folders?

These have been durable for what I use them for I have been pleased with them.

After 25 years, sometimes the glue holding it together starts to get brittle.

They should last until you delete them. SP also has a warranty against disk failures. Im confident that I made the right choice.

"Yes" they are very durable. Have been using them for over a year now and have not had any problems with them.

Yes they are very durable. It's a very nice set. I bought it for my boyfriend and he loved it!

I personally have had no issues with durability. Mine have been smacked around a lot and they show no sign of breakage. They feel just as good as I first got them even after the few weeks of use. The metal feels sturdy as well.

I used these for grad school too. You can probably fit almost an inch of paper in there, but that would be pushing it. I thought they were great though... I love these folders...very durable and worth the price.

They look very nice but the paperboard is not as stiff as a traditional manilla file folder. I use these to hold seldom needed forms, that I need to keep handy. These folders would not last long if they are used as a workhorse folder.

No they don't. The folders themselves are fastened on the bottom, so the folders don't actually open up, which I found to be a disappointment. And if you tear the folder open, which you can, you'll find that the folder is actually quite flimsy, unfortunately.

I can't imagine that there's any lifespan, so to speak. They are rock solid and do not give the appearance of losing their structure through use or age.

I am not positive we have since thrown this away. My son is pretty rough on his folders and the plastic tore. It is a heavey plastic so i was worried he would get cut on it. Sorry we couldn't help. It was a little taller than standard papers. His papers all fit inside without being seen over the top though.

Yes, but the handles are secured firmly on the files so they don't readily separate. I'd recommend using a vice and mallet if you need to replace the files.

They're not very durable - I currently work a desk job and they broke from the trauma of getting in and out of my car and sitting at my desk chair. I got a couple of months total use out of mine. I started with just using the belt clip then moved to the belt loops when the clip failed. So you'll get maybe a month of use out of either option unless you're REALLY gentle with it. The rest of the unit looks perfect still; I'm saving it in case I decide to try and sew on my own belt loops using something more durable.

My guess would be yes, these have been holding up well for me. I use them for teachers on a weekly basis and have used them for 6 months now and they are all still in working order.

I don't think you would need one. If you don't abuse it, the folder should last several years. I always make sure it is put away when my grand kids come over. ;)

I have a box of 50 file folders in mine, although they aren't all being used. Love it!!!

Yes. this should work well for your application. The folder is divided into around 21 (twenty one) 1" (one inch) clear plastic sleeves that should hold your folders nicely. The handle on top makes it easy to grab and go. Please be aware that the tops fold over one another with the top fold going over one side to latch making it a little cumbersome when opening but not enough for me to stop using this brand. I love these folders!

No problems here. I have at least 30 folders with tabs and have not had this issue. I'd buy this and not look back if it's the kind of thing you're looking for. Couldn't be happier.
