Review on πŸ“” Rhodia Rhodiarama Webnotebook - Anise Cover, 96 Blank Sheets - 5 1/2 x 8 1/4: Premium Quality Notebook for Effortless Organization and Creative Expression by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Great notepad but not as described

This notebook is difficult to rate as if the description were accurate it would have received 5 stars. If you like Moleskine style pocket notebooks, this notebook is superior to other brands in every way. The elastic closure is very strong, the bag is great and the beautiful Clairefontaine paper is a dream to write with. If you've been using Moleskine for years during the horrible deterioration of paper, make the switch to this notebook. Even the case feels nice and grippy, but still soft, unlike the firmer Moleskine that slips out of your hand. However, the product does not match the description. First, it's not an A6. I'm not sure why Rhodia claims 9 x 14 cm is A6 (Revain's description says A6 ("5.8 x 4.1")), but the laptop is actually 9 x 14 cm (3.5 x 5 , 5 inches) tall, since Rhodia even has it on its own website). Secondly, as mentioned in another review, the sides are not very white but are off-white. If you have seen the Rhodiarama genuine A6 notebook in person or on Youtube (actual A6 size, slightly longer bookmark, orange inner cover) then this is a very similar but not the same product. In short, if you're ok with off-white paper and "Moleskine Small" instead of A6 and just want to avoid the awful quality of Moleskine, this notebook is perfect. Unfortunately I was looking for a proper A6 notebook and this isn't it.
