Review on πŸ“˜ Pioneer 12x15 Postbound Family Treasures Deluxe Memory Book - Seabreeze Blue Fabric Cover by Kim Sanchez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not 12x15, pages tear easily

At first I was disappointed (to say the least!) because I had a lot of 5x15 panorama photos I wanted to put in an album, and that seemed the perfect size. NO! The sides are actually just over 11 by just over 14. I managed to crop some of my photos by an inch to fit, but not all. AAGH! As if that wasn't enough, when I carefully and carefully removed the paper from the first page to insert my photos, the flimsy plastic page ripped right out of the binding! Assuming this page had only one weak point, I tore it out (without any effort!) and moved on to the second page. Imagine my surprise when it broke too! And I assure you I wasn't being rude. Especially after tearing the first page so easily, I was very careful with the second. But he broke right out of the binder. I'm surprised no one else has commented on this absurd weakness. Maybe I just got a bad batch. But I don't think so because not only was every page so torn, but so was every page of the refill kit I bought. manual hole punch for punching holes in the tape. This solved the problem nicely, but I didn't have to resort to all these problems. I was tempted to give this album one star because of the smaller format and the flimsy plastic binding of the pages. But I chose three stars, because apart from those two flaws this is a pretty good album. This spans many, many pages (although to get it right, you'll need two perfectly sized screwdrivers and needle-nosed pliers). And it's beautiful. I just wish they had the page sizes correct. And there is no excuse for such weak and unreliable page bindings.

This worked great for some 10x14 pictures I wanted to protect.
