Review on ๐Ÿ“ท Pioneer Photo Albums 622500: High Capacity Album with 500 Memo Pockets โ€“ Black and Beige by Susan Zhao

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The pages inside are terrible, thin film and poor separation. Makes it irrelevant to my needs

I'm so excited! This book is amazing, it's awful! For those wondering how it can be with 5 star ratings I guess but my only thought is that everyone here is under 25 so only have 4x6 photos and they never had books that were used, when scrapbooking was really popular in the 90's and the pages had a thick plastic sheeting or pockets that could endure decades of turning without wear. I no longer have time to take my photos. I want them to be safe, sleeved, with SEPARATE pockets and keep photos for years or decades. This means I have some 3x5 photos, some 3x3, some 4x6. REAL POCKETS means any pocket-sized photo or smaller will fit in your pocket. It's not for this book. Since people referred to it as split pockets, I assumed it was true. It is not true. THIS IS A HEAVY PAPER (good paper) PAGE with a thin cheap thin film on top essentially with a "staple" on the corners in the 4 inch area. . Any photo that is less than 6 inches wide, either because it has been cropped or because it is 3.25 x 5 or whatever, will fall through the slot. It's also open on either side of the slots so you can slide it in from the left or right, but it also pops out either side. Some of them are loose enough to slip in too easily and others are so tight that the film broke when I tried to fit my 4x6 photo in. TO USE A HIGH QUALITY BOOK AND THICK PAPER AND THEN REMOVE IT SO THAT YOU CAN HOLD ONLY ONE PHOTO SIZE IN ORIGINAL CONDITION, THIS IS ABSURCH. ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO NOT FULLY REPRESENT THAT IT IS ONE SIZE ONLY! I didn't want to buy the pages separate from the book, but it seems like the big companies just have this horrible bonded corner movie that won't win. You can watch him for more than a year, and that's if he survives after the photos invade him.

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
