Great notebook and very customizable! I put stickers on mine. Love the recycled material much more eco-friendly than those notebooks with the plastic covers. And still thick and durable.

I’m not sure what happened but I ordered this notebook a few months ago for the Fall semester and it was perfect! I just ordered a new one for the Spring semester and it looks so different! The brand now says Staples instead of TruRed and it has lime green and grey stripes on the side. I’m so disappointed they need to update the product picture!

The notebook looks nothing like the photo. I’m very disappointed. I needed it for a special project.

Smooth wonderful paper words just flow onto the page. Heavy duty covers can be used anywhere. From a line of eco-responsible high quality paper products. Worth every penny.

VERY INCONSISTENT

This product has a lot of pros and cons. I bought 5 of these because I needed a specific amount of pages for my notebooks in each class it said it had 200 sheets BUT EACH NOTEBOOK HAS A DIFFERENT AMOUNT OF PAGES. I have counted these pages so many times but I keep coming back with the same conclusion..... that they are all different and it’s even noticeable. I bought them all at the same time from the same page all at once this shouldn’t be happening. I also got these because I wanted to decorate it myself the covers and coils are both kinda sturdy it’s not bad Like some of the other reviews are saying (just and fyi if you wanted to buy these for their appearance the coil has a copper look NOT a silver look like the pictures). The paper is cheap its wavy and wrinkly when you look at it from the sides. I wish the ad would have shown the cover info sheet it comes with when you buy it so it would have given me a bit more information. Also it said next day shipping but came several days later but that didn’t bother me too much but if you need it quickly it might not be there. I really wish I could show you with pictures but this product was a bit disappointing.

I have been using these notebooks exclusively since college and still love them. It is very hard to find a hard cover notebook that is also college ruled and 5 subject and these are also sustainably sourced and an affordable price. Definitely recommend.
