Got a great deal on these notebooks so I was expecting cheap low quality but these are far from that they are actually good quality notebooks and the colors are awesome. They are vibrant and bright which is perfect for my niece who is a pre-teen and loves anything super colorful. I think the only complaint I had is that you have to actually tear the paper out with that awful ends that rip off the ring but they are perfect for keeping stuff together in binders especially for my niece who tends to lose stuff once it comes out of the notebook.
