I like the designs and personalization Papier offers, but my expectations have definitely not been met. The notebooks aren't as nice in real life as they look online - I ordered the softback (also thinking they would have the same amount of pages as the hardback, especially for the price being not that much lower) and they are definitely flimsier and the covers are not as nice/thick as some other brands I've purchased cheaper notebooks from, with higher quality and more pages. I was really excited to get my notebooks, but not so excited once I opened the package unfortunately. Maybe should have just gotten hardcover or something. I'll still use the notebooks but will likely shop elsewhere in the future.
