5-stars as a “STARTER” scrapbook, but 3.5-stars as a serious scrapbook.
I gave it 5- stars as a “starter” scrapbook, but I would not recommend this as a go-to scrapbook for memorabilia you want to archive and preserve. 3.5 to under 4-stars as a serious scrapbook.It’s very cute and came with everything as advertised, and I like how customizable the box, binder and pages are, but I don’t think that this scrapbook will hold up overtime. The quality of the materials feels cheap-ish and I don’t feel confident about its archival quality.I bought this as a “starter” scrapbook, because I am new to this hobby and don’t want to waste high quality scrapbook material until I know what I want to do with all of my photos and memorabilia and what items I will actually need.The reason I chose this as a “starter” is due to its low/competitive price (compared to similar scrapbooks listed on Amazon), the included add on’s (pens & stickers), and the binder feature (can add, remove and rearrange pages). I like that I can rearrange the order of pages, because I don’t know where to start in scrapbooking journey and this way I am not committed to any page being the first, middle or last page. Also, I can remove a page without ruining the scrapbook if I accidentally mess up a page.The quality is ok, but kinda cheap. It doesn’t feel or look like it will hold up very well over time. Like the pages look like they could tear out easily if they are flipped through often enough. BUT the pages I have been playing around with have held up very well to the heavy amount of the abuse inflicted by my indecisiveness over sticker and photo adhesive placement and rearrangement. I have placed and removed at least 100 adhesive photo-holders on two pages and when removing them, the page hasn’t torn or withered away. I’m impressed by that, even though some sticker residue is more visible on the black pages. One bummer about the actual black pages to consider is that the width is oddly shaped and small (L 10.25” x W 7”) compared to the actual binder itself (L 10.5” x W 8.25”). So keep in mind the size of the photos and memories you want use for this scrapbook. I have a lot of smaller older photos I want to use, but need to arrange in a funky way to make them fit. It’s a bit annoying, but I’m the end, I am using this as a starter scrapbook and I don’t plan on keeping the original photos in here as a final draft. (Will be using copies of my OG photos for this finished product as explained below).The binder itself looks like it can easily be dented and start falling apart if used frequently, but it’s also very customizable. Can be written or drawn on, have stickers added and/or the flower that’s advertised in the listing).I am also not very confident about its archival quality, which I will be mindful of when adding content to the pages. It reminds me of the scrapbooks my grandparents made in the 20-30’s, that were really cute, but didn’t age well (torn and crumbly pages, pictures that degraded over time or were torn apart from sticking to the page on top of it). I could see this scrapbook aging like one of those, soI plan to print out copies of the photos I want to use, just to be sure I’m not going to hurt the originals if this winds up aging poorly, and then I’m going to scan the pages as a backup storage.OVERALL: This is fun to play around with and to get an idea of what I want my final draft scrapbooks to look like. I also love the box it can in. It is very cute and customizable, but I feel like the box will outlast the the actual scrapbook. Just be aware that this may not protect your original photos or hold up long enough for your kids and grandkids to look through decades later.

It was ok
The album itself was sturdy, and overall nice.But if you are wanting to use the stickers and pens that it includes, you will be disappointed. I could barely get the pens to write. The stickers were bad quality and tiny. Also mine didn’t include the sunflower sticker to put on the front.

Great scrapbook!
Super cute scrapbook. It’s heavy duty and the supplies that come with it are adorable. I e already started to use mine and really like the paper. It’s thick and works well with the gel pens. I’d definitely buy another one of these.

Not worth it😐
I love scrapbooking so much, and I bought this to remember all my memories. I left in the morning the day it was supposed to arrive, but when I got home it said I had to go to pick it up because nobody answered the door to get it. If doesn't tell the exact time its going to arrive then how is anybody sure they are going to be home on time?! It was super confusing, it said it was delivered, but when you clicked on it said it was "ready for pickup." It doesn't even make it very clear where and when to pick it up and when the deadline is. It is all to confusing so I'm not going to pick it up. I just lost a good $20 right there. Its not worth it.

Size inaccurate
So, while the page sizes are TECHNICALLY 12×12 as stated, there is the problem that the rings take about two inches of space. There should have been pages cut with that space in consideration. You are more getting about 12×10 inches. Keep that in mind when purchasing.

Scrapbook/photo album
I used this as a photo album for lots old black and white photos, it's sturdy, the size is great and it holds a log of photos or whatever you'd like to place in it. I love that it comes with a box that keeps it extra protected and all the trimmings, markers, the little ribbon and flowers. The only thing I added was punched vegetable paper between the pages, just to protect these super ancient photos.

Poor quality
The metal spiral binding not properly secured to scrapbook spine. It slid right off. Torn corners on the box it came in and the metal corner of scrapbook fell off. When exchanged for a second try and it came the exact same way as the first one. The cardboard is also very bowed.

It’s an okay product
We got a white album and the extras it came with left a residue on the cover so having to redo the cover because of it. It’s like a greasy residue from adhesive. The pages are thick and it’s a nice product otherwise

The item is perfect... But the delivery/mailing..
The scrapbook itself is great. Superb quality, lovely paper inside it, the cover and the box are both high quality and I love that it's ring bound so you can take out/rearrange pages or work on them while not in the book for ease. The pens and stickers are also lovely additions.However (and I'm aware this may have been Amazon's fault) receiving it with no extra packaging besides shrink wrap plastic was a bit of an error and the box itself arrived quite damaged. Because it was unprotected from knocks. Given that the box is designed to be part of the product and not a mailing device, this was quite disappointing - especially as I am using it to create a gift for someone.

Exceptional quality with useful additional items included!
This item has been used by my daughter as part of her GCSE Drama portfolio. The quality is exceptional and includes useful extras for decoration. It arrived well wrapped and in a hard cardboard presentation box!Exceptional!!! Now we just need to wait a few months for the exam results!

Great gift for anniversary gift
Great gift idea as I had put photos of me and my boyfriend for our anniversary. He loved it. Would be great for Mother’s/fathers/ valentines/ birthdays/ weddings and any occasion. Would highly reccomend to others. You can get the same for many people and make it all look different

Adorable scrapbook
It is just adorable! It comes with so many different stickers and pens for the price, and it’s so beautifully made. I gave it 4 stars only because the pages could’ve been a little bit broader as there is space for them to be broader and the clip on the inside could’ve been nicer, but for the price it’s fab. The flowers on the front will also get crushed if you lay the book open. Overall, a really great scrapbook with thick pages and plenty of them and really good quality. Highly recommend!
