Review on Thick Hardcover Notebook/Journal With A5 120Gsm Premium Paper, College Ruled Bound Notebook With Pen Holder, SkyBlue Leather, 3 Ribbon Marker, Inner Pocket, 8.4 X 5.7 In by Krystle Garcia

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Surprisingly high quality for the price

I've been using this daily for about 2 weeks now. I am using it for Andy Frisella's power list productivity strategy. The paper is thick, and I like not having to worry about bleed-through. The elastic pen loop works nicely and was a requirement for me. The simulated leather is actually very convincing. It's soft and feels of surprisingly high quality.I don't really utilize the 3 ribbons separately but just use them all for the same page, but I can see how they would be handy for other uses.The one thing I would change about it is the logo placement. It's on the front cover, right at the top in the middle. It's the same color, so it's not incredibly noticeable. But it still would have been nice to have it somewhere else. It's weird having a big "YEEATZ" front and center on my notebook. I don't think sticking the branding out there in this way is appropriate for this application. I would gladly flip the book over to find the brand and tell someone about it.My concerns moving forward are the ribbons coming out, the elastic closure band becoming stretched out and loose, and the fake leather holding up, but so far none of those have been an issue and will obviously not detract from my review.I am a very cheap individual, so I am usually ok with sacrificing some quality to pay less for something. But in this case, I don't feel that I lost any quality.I will update if any problems arise, but until then, just assume my 4 star rating stands.
