warning ! Full album may cause binding to fail

Looks nice and high quality but unfortunately the binding fell apart after I filled in all the photos completely. I cannot bear the weight of all 5 x 7 photos. I wasn't happy after all the work it took to put the album together and then within a week it fell apart.

Pros
  • Photo safe: no acid, lignin or PVC
Cons
  • Has been damaged

The cover of this album is very beautiful. That's the only nice thing about it. The bags in this album are terrible. I would say no matter how carefully I put photos in my pockets, they will rip 97% of the time. I would have to tape them over as they have no reinforcement. As storage for my photos, I don't see it as lasting for years. I will probably order another better made album so I know my photos will stay in place even after I die.

Pros
  • Optically transparent bags
Cons
  • Only available in white

Sturdy but very heavy

It was great to be able to take photos in 5 x 7 inches. They work great with modern technology and, depending on the quality of the camera used, result in great photo essays in the album. I chose these Pioneer albums because they are durable and can hold many of my favorite photos. You are doing well. Unfortunately they are very, very heavy and sometimes difficult to manoeuvre. The downside is that they don't fit very comfortably on your lap. They fit well on the table, but again are so heavy…

Pros
  • A place to write notes
Cons
  • Something different
