Review on πŸ“Έ Pioneer Navy Leatherette Postbound Album - 12" x 12" - High-Quality for Memories by Hannah Curi

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Blisters, creased covers and page protectors

The last 3 of these Pioneer albums I've ordered have all had problems. The first thing I noticed after not being able to get them all spring is that they are discontinued. The ones in the big plastic boxes were taken off the market at least a decade ago. It wouldn't matter - the differences were minor - but their age and (probably) poor storage have damaged them. The synthetic leather on the covers and the plastic page protectors inside are constantly being wrinkled and deformed. They cannot be smoothed out. The inner lids have creases where they were incorrectly closed. The lids are damaged by imprints from hard objects stuck inside. I've been buying the company's 12x12 albums for 20 years for the professional results you can get from them (despite the difficulty of putting them together), but I won't continue if I get irregular records.

Pros
  • Crafts and sewing
Cons
  • Some bugs
