Star Products Art Portfolio 20 X 26, Classic Red Rope, Paper Artist Portfolio with Soft Woven Handle – Poster Storage, Art Storage

My son required an art portfolio to store his high school art projects in good condition. This one is inexpensive, a good size to fit everything (23" by 31"), and completely does the job to keep his art safely stored. It is constructed of a sturdy, paper type of material which looks as though it is water resistant. If my son were a professional artist who needed to carry his art work daily outside the home, I would have purchased a more expensive, professional portfolio meant for heavier usage. This particular portfolio will simply be storing my son's art work at home, and it is the perfect tool for the job we intend to use it for.

I wanted something to store my daughter's artwork in without it becomming crumpled or folded. This is perfect for the price! I don't know how they wrapped it because my husband opened it, but it came to me in perfect condition despite the size. It is very large and will hold a lot of artwork. I bought something similar for my friends' kids that cost twice as much, but that's what they asked for so I just bought what they wanted. I guess the only improvement would be if it had dividers in it, but I knew that when I bought it and wasn't an issue for me. The price is fantastic, arrived perfect, is durable...not much else you could ask for at this price. I'm sure if I bought it at my local office supply store they would've charged at least twice as much.

I was looking to purchase a large portfolio to store my children's larger art pieces. Most of their smaller pieces go in a 3ring binder or aft file boxes I have on hand. We have been blessed with a great art teacher in preschool. The result are some larger pieces of our children's interpretations of some of the great masters. I very much wanted a place (other than under my bed) to store these in and keep the dust off and keep them somewhat protected I had to purchase a portfolio for an art appreciation class I took in college many years ago. I had a very nice one. Because of this I was aware of the varying degree of sizes and materials portfolios are made. I was reluctant to purchase one for my needs w/o being able to see it and touch it first. I took a chance. I thought when it arrived that I might be returning it for a stronger more durable material. It seemed rather flimsy just out of the box. I decided to give it a chance. I placed some of their art inside. None of the pieces rolled inside. The art remained flat. I had a couple pieces of poster board and a piece of foam core board left from making signs for a reunion. I slipped a couple of those in the folio to separate each child's art work. I am very pleased with this purchase. it was a good value for the price.

We purchased these for storing our children's artwork. The construction is a heavy paper with cloth handles. The gussets allow the product to open up for additional thickness. These are advertised as acid free. The quality and price point is good for our use. These will not be moved around much; just filled and filed in the basement. If like us, you don't have the heart to throw away your child's art, this folio at least makes it more practical to hold on to it! I still have my folio from college photography and it has held up well these 15 years. No damage to the art within. I expect the same out of our newer purchase here.

as soon as i saw the package, i was leery that this item would be damaged. i was right....something went clear through the flimsy cardboard it was packed in....no bubble wrap, nothing to protect this paper item! there was a hole in the top flap, through both layers of the portfolio. it is by no means 'red'....more like an faded industrial brick. i do like the woven handles. the size is perfect for me. it does accordion @ the bottom to expand & hold more sheets, however, someone in another preview said one drawing pad inside & the handle broke. pros: nice size, good handles, uncomplicated to open & close, expandable bottom. cons: not packaged very well, arrived damaged. it is not an attractive color. the only thing holding the flap down are the handles...could use a velcro tab or two. not meant for the long haul or the true professional. it works for me as i am not hauling around anything other than rice paper paintings in it. actually...will not be hauling it around much at all...will sit in a corner protecting my paintings until i die & get discovered post-posthumously.

I bought this to store topographical maps of hiking areas. For my needs, it doesn't need to be particularly pretty, or sturdy, or durable. It just needs to hold the maps and keep them from getting wrinkled, and it does that very well. It's holding a stack of topo maps and a handful of folding maps and my printed directions to different trailheads, and still plenty of room for more.

Flimsy material. If you want it to protect your artwork look elsewhere. All I did was fold the flap at the crease and it tore! I'm better to use the box it was shipped in.

When my 4-year old grandson started his second year of preschool, we were faced with the dilemma of wanting to put up his new school projects, but not wanting to dispose of his old ones from the previous year - but we were out of wall space. The portfolio made a perfect storage place for old artwork, making room for his new projects. Younger sister started school this year as well and would come home with 4-5 paintings each class, along with her beloved projects. Solution: a few paintings go up on the wall, but most go into her portfolio, to save room for her projects. The portfolios are easily reached, stand nicely in their closets, and don't take up very much space.
