I originally got one of these when I was student teaching several years ago. It worked well, so I bought another one recently. This time it is to organize my art papers and pads by type. Most of my pads are 9x12, and the pockets can hold 2-3 books/tablets each. It is heavy, but the pockets are strong enough to handle it. The only negative is that it did not come with hooks. I didn't have any hooks small enough to go through the grommets, so I attached binder rings to the grommets and hung them from some over the door hooks, and it's working great. I should mention that the hooks were missing from the last one I bought too (we used clear packing tape that time). I don't know if they were missing or just not part of the package, but it's something to be aware of.
