Hot Chocolate 26-Pocket Expanding File, Pixie Sticks Design, 10 x 13x 3 Inches (15026)

I was disappointed when I received this. It was not packaged very well and the front had scratches and scrapes on it. Although this is not the fault of the product, I was disappointed that it could be so easily scratched. It is constructed entirely if thin plastic, which makes it very lightweight, but also very "cheap" looking. In my opinion, it is grossly overpriced and should cost half of what does. I returned mine due to the scratches but would have probably returned it anyway. I was looking for something cute, portable and durable. This only meets 2 out of 3 criteria and is too expensive for what you get.

I love the colorful design, and the product is sturdier-feeling than I expected, as well as deeper, and what I can feel of the plastic pockets from the sides, they seem fairly thick. However I have to return this item because I can't open the clasp. It arrived with the front scratched and dented from being poorly packaged with other items.

I ordered this for an easy way to store and organize the owners manuals that we've managed to accumulate over the years. I like it because it's rather large, and has lots of space for what I needed. The only drawback is that when it arrived, it does not look as nice as it does in the picture. I found a lot of the scratch marks that have been mentioned in other reviews. I don't mind that much, since it's something that will probably get stored away in a closet or on a shelf, but at the same time, when I purchase something I expect it to be in brand new condition when I receive it (unless otherwise stated). It's disappointing to order something and not have it look brand new, the way it should. That being said, because of the other reviews I at least anticipated this problem, so I'm not going to complain too much. It still does what it is intended to do, even if it doesn't look so nice doing it.

This is a great, very cute expanding file! The latch is a little hard to maneuver and takes a couple tries sometimes but overall I don't have any complaints. It does its job!

After reading reviews on this expanding file, I wasn't so sure I was making the right choice in purchasing it. I read that it was hard to open it. Unless you are a pip-squeek or a kid, you will be able to open the file. The fact that it has a nice sturdy handle makes it really easy to take the exandable file with you on the go and it doesn't scratch as easily as another reviewer said. I guess if you are rough with it and throw it around, of course you are going to get scratches. All in all, a worthwhile product. And it looks cute too!!

The portable file box is cute, but I had a very difficult time opening the clasp. I thought I was going to brake my fingers trying to get the darn thing open! Ended up returning it. You can't use it if you can't get it open!

Honestly it looks great without the scratches and used looking marks on it :/ it came fairly fast but it just looks like they didn't care enough to properly package it to avoid scratches..its supposed to be a christmas present for my 61 yr old mom but really I wouldve never bought it if I knew it was extremely hard to open. And I'm 22. Gunna have to help my arthritic mom open it even though it shouldve been perfect.. Smh.

I wanted an Accordion Folder that had a lot of pockets in it. This one definitely has enough pockets to meet my needs; however, they are not really pockets as the bottoms of each "pocket" are not sealed, so things like receipts and other small papers will slip out of that pocket easily. I've had to add envelopes to hold receipts.Also, in order to open the folder, you need to squeeze the clasp just right or it will be nearly impossible to open. The first few times I tried to open it I struggled with it for a good five minutes. The clasp would not be ideal for anyone with any kind of arthritis or other joint problems. I will probably leave mine unclasped while its sitting on my shelf.Overall, I'm giving it three stars because my biggest wish was to have more pockets than the average folder, and this one meets that need for me. Otherwise I would probably have given it two stars for the open bottomed pockets and the terrible clasp.
