Quality and Durability

Pros:

  • "Paper quality is nice and heavy, not sure what lb. it is but it's strong enough, not flimsy."
  • "These folders are high-quality, too. They're sturdy, like a bodybuilder in a library."
  • "As hanging file folders go, these were decent quality. Heavy paper, sturdy, and fit in my file drawer the way they're supposed to."
  • "The material is durable and well-constructed."
  • "The files are well-made, sturdy, slide easily."
  • "They are sturdy, durable and a great value for the money I paid."
  • "The quality is great and sturdy, not flimsy so you can reuse the folder for several times instead tossing it after one time use."

Cons:

  • "Slots to insert tabs are extremely hard to open up and fit; not very durable."
  • "Good for the sale price of less that $10 for 25, but not very sturdy folders."
  • "I returned these because they felt super flimsy."
  • "I don't know what they changed, but the paper quality is so flimsy that I couldn't insert the label tabs without the folders ripping."
  • "These folders are less sturdy than I expected, but should do the job."
  • "They're flimsy and don't stay hung on the rods."
  • "Very very thin and flimsy."

Design and Functionality

Pros:

  • "Exactly what I was looking for at a much lower cost than the office supply stores near me."
  • "Every teacher should buy these!"
  • "Also really appreciated getting a pack of these with enough labels!"
  • "They come with plastic subject headers including paper tags to write the subjects on."
  • "Also the wide bottom allows for more papers and less files."
  • "They hang perfectly in my office caddy and really keep me and my husband on top of organization in the household."
  • "Make sure you get the size that you need for your filing cabinet! These were the perfect fit for my new filing cabinet."

Cons:

  • "Some of the little slots for the label to go in aren't opened up making adding labels kind of a pain."
  • "The file folders themselves are of decent quality. However, it is extremely hard to label them as the included plastic labels for the labels don’t fit on the folders."
  • "Hangers are fine for small amounts of papers but the tabs are more than useless unless I want to glue or tape them."
  • "These are poorly made, some the fold over the bar came undone."
  • "The hanging folder look fine, but when I tried to used them on the rail with little to no weight in the folder wouldn't stay on the rail."
  • "The TABS used for organizing, would not even fit inside the folder!!!!"
  • "The plastic tabs that came with it do not fit into the folder slits."

Color and Appearance

Pros:

  • "The colors are handy in dividing categories in a file cabinet, or even just to brighten up your day."
  • "The colors make them great to organize with, too!"
  • "They are bright colors which I like because I can categorize my different sections."
  • "Very happy with these folders! Very sturdy, nice bright colors, and exactly what I was looking for!"
  • "Color coding files is a tremendous help & time saver."
  • "Having color-coded files helps sort them in the file cabinet, by content (payroll in one color, bills in another, investments in yet another, etc.)."
  • "The colours are vibrant, and the quality of the folders is good."

Cons:

  • "These are not black. They are more of a really dark green with a little bit of black."
  • "The color looks dull and they are starting to tear near the edges now that I've used them a few months."
  • "I received a dark ugly green. I thought I was getting black, since the description says black."
  • "These are a very faded black, almost dark green."
  • "They’re not as dark as pictured (more faded black than pictured) but I’m not too displeased with it."
  • "I was sad to see these weren't a true black color when they arrived."
  • "The black folders are not black at all they’re very faded and pretty much look grey."

Price and Value

Pros:

  • "Good quality folders that fit perfectly into my filing cabinet."
  • "Overall cost is good too, compared to other places you can purchase."
  • "They are sturdy and wear well; they are not flimsy like the ones in office supply stores and much better price."
  • "At the price of under $20 for 25 folders it equates to 79 cents a folder. This is an unbeatable price Amazon offers."
  • "These are an awesome deal!"
  • "These were brand new as far as I can tell! The box was a little beat up, but for over 50% off, I can overlook that!"
  • "They are also quite durable as I place many worksheets inside."

Cons:

  • "Box was demolished and hastily taped back together."
  • "I initially went to a local big box office supply store..their price was nearly three times more than amazon."
  • "You definitely get what you pay for. The labels didn't fit into the plastic tabs. The boxes were in awful shape."
  • "Given how expensive they are, I would not buy them again."
  • "I felt they were kind of expensive for what they were."
  • "Not worth the money."
  • "For the price, they should do better."
