After getting addicted to Moleskin notebooks/journals, this was an amazing alternative. The savings/cost is a major influence on my decision. But the affordability doesn't make this a cheap product -- not in the least. Everyone of these has held up over time.

Using it for a gratitude journal and it’s great.

Sturdy and functional. Pen ink is not visible from the other side. Nice built-in ribbon bookmark, along with elastic band to keep shut. Nice size, good for carrying maybe in a backpack but I can’t see myself carrying it loose. Feels like pages can lightly tear easily with a fine pencil, which is annoying.

I had a little black book about 5x thicker than this and maybe another half larger than this one, which was hard back but had a nice soft leather like finish. Sadly it was 6 years old and my cat decided it no longer belonged on the table. I found the binding completely busted, separating at the seems and it was no longer of any use to me now. That also included pages that tore loose during the fall messing up information I had. Very very important information that I prefer to note down because I cant always remember everything all the time with a hectic and busy schedule. So i decided to search for a replacement and the Amazon Basics Classic Lined Notebook, 240 Pages, Hardcover was the one I finally decided on. It feels sturdy and the quality is nice but I didnt rate if it holds up or is super sturdy. Im not looking to test it out but my guess with it still being new, it can take quiet a few tumbles off of the table top by the cat for a few years without me worrying about it. --Update-- My cat and new puppy decided they would test out how durable this thing was. I know my cat likes to knock things off the table some times, and well our new 1yr mastiff puppy thought he would join in. I woke up to all fours ends of my notebook chewed on, but luckily none of my information in the book got ruined. The stretch band was still on it and not even damaged. Im still able to see all of whats in it, though the pages are damaged to the point I have to carefully pull them apart cause they sort of stick together. I bought two more of these cause im going to transfer the information from the damaged on to a new one and of course store it somewhere safe. I wanted a 3rd for backup or maybe for something else entirely. Maybe for recipes. I really love the quality of these books and even after the dog tried his best to shred through it, it held up enough to keep what was inside of it still legible

What I expected

Favorite journals by far.

Good sturdy hard back journal. Like's -Affordable -Built in bookmark -elastic closure Dislike -paper is thinner than I would prefer, but its not a problem. (No complaints)

Page is very thick, looks premium. Pen glides smoothly over the page make writing experience a bliss. But finish in first and last pages isn't that perfectly done. Perfect size for a diary and accurate as mentioned in the product description.

Exactly what I ordered Best quality

Hardcover and bookmark good.

Simples e objetivo. Caderno com bom acabamento.
