After reading the reviews that this would not lie flat and other issues, I moved on, but came back to it after searching others, and am very pleased. The small size (holds 5" x 8" pad) is perfect for meetings at crowded tables. It is a professional-looking, brown bonded leather with brown and black interior and would work for business and casual meetings, club, or home use, although I'd use the larger size if I needed to take a lot of notes. When I first received it I gingerly bent it back at the spine past 180 degrees, and heard a snap, possibly what it was bonded to. It did not appear to be damaged, and lies almost flat, leaving the far left side with less than 3/4" of space beneath, which does not bother me (it doesn't try to close up and does not need to be anchored down as I had pictured from some reviews). I am left-handed, and have no trouble using it. If it doesn't close quite enough, I just crimp the spine lightly with my hand and it closes fine. It is exactly what I was hoping for in size, appearance, color, function and value. I hope it lasts as long as I do.
