I really like these notebooks, and I would recommend them to others. What I like about these: the plastic covers are sturdy, so you can toss them in a backpack and not worry about them falling apart. The size is perfect for notetaking in meetings (A5). The paper is good quality and handles many types of ink well. I tested a few different fountain pen inks on the paper, and none of them feathered or bled through. I also tested a gel pen (no issues) and a rollerball. The rollerball bled through a tiny bit, but that same pen bleeds through a LOT on other papers, so I'd say this stuff is pretty good! The only thing that would make these notebooks even better for me is if the pages were perforated so you could easily tear them out. Still, they are a great product!

has a flimsy plastic cover, not hard cover

Decent notebooks, good quality paper and appropriate thickness to stop ink leaking through to the other side using gel pens. The pages arrived slightly stuck together and they needed pulling apart but it wasn’t too hard and didn’t cause damage, just a little bit annoying.

Great!

I recently had the pleasure of using these journals, and I can confidently say they are exceptional in several aspects. First and foremost, the quality of the paper is impressive; it's thick enough that I don’t have to worry about tears or holes, which is a common concern with lesser-quality journals. This durability allows me to write freely without the anxiety of damaging the pages.The writing experience is also top-notch. Using various pens, I found that the ink glides smoothly across the surface, and to my relief, there’s no bleeding through the paper fibers. This means I can use whatever pen I like without the fear of my entries ruining the opposite side or bleeding into an adjacent page.Aesthetically, the covers strike the perfect balance between eye-catching and understated. They are designed beautifully, providing just the right amount of flair without being overly flashy. This makes them ideal for both personal use and professional settings, as they are visually appealing yet maintain a sense of sophistication.Moreover, the spiral binding is a game-changer. Unlike traditional bound journals that can be a hassle to write in, especially near the spine, these journals lay flat easily, making it comfortable to write without any awkward creasing. This thoughtful design feature enhances the overall usability, allowing me to fill the pages with ease.In conclusion, these journals have quickly become my go-to choice for writing, doodling, and note-taking. Their thick, bleed-resistant paper, beautiful yet subtle covers, and user-friendly spiral binding make them an absolute delight. I highly recommend them to anyone in search of a reliable and aesthetically pleasing journal. You won’t be disappointed!
