Steel Mill & Co Cute Floral Mini Spiral Notebook, 8.25" x 6.25" Journal with Durable Hardcover and 160 Lined Pages, Garden Blooms (Cream)

Love this journal! I am using it as a journal to take sermon notes in at church. It is a perfect size to carry with my Bible and is great quality! Love the pocket in the front for extra notes and things. I added a few stickers and it’s perfect!

**Edit: I have had this notebook for six months. I am editing the review to reflect this.Pros1. The notebook looks just like the photos. It is very pretty. 10/10**(The cover has not faded in any way. Still 10/10)2. The metal spiral is stiff in the most perfect way. It appears to be of very good quality. My notebooks get smooshed into my bags, thrown on the desk, and just generally abused every day. 10/10**(Still holding up super well. 10/10)3. The paper has more of a rough feel to it than most notebook paper I have used..which I personally love. 8/10Cons1. While the pages are perforated, it was much easier to just rip a page out of the book. I also tried to fold the paper on the perforated line before tearing but it didn’t help. 1/102. I haven’t used a huge variety of pens while writing in the notebook but I am not super impressed. I love using pens with a bold ink (think sharpie ink pens) but that type of ink can be clearly seen on the opposite side of the page. It doesn’t necessarily bleed through..but it’s super close to doing so. 4/103. The “hardcover” of this notebook is actually very stiff cardboard..NOT a hardcover like I was expecting. I use a notebook daily and a hardcover is SUPER important to me as I am not always in a place with a table or hard surface to lay the notebook on. I CAN write in the notebook without a hard surface underneath it, but I am so disappointed. It also came with a slight bend in it.*(Still hate the cardboard cover.)-Is the notebook worth $12+? No-Will I buy this brand again? No**(I would if they went on sale. Lol)

The cover is hard, in that it's stiff, buts it's still pretty thin. More like thick cardstock than a hardcover book. Regardless, it is very cute, I love the inner pocket, and the spiral binding is good quality.

Loved it!

Cover is sturdy. Only downside is that paper allows the ink to bled through so I only use one side of the paper

Super cute

beautiful notebook! the cover is the perfect amount of sturdy & the folder is nice too. the pages are very nice and not stuck together (my last one from a different company had its pages stuck together so this was the replacement I ordered). love love love.

I started keeping a journal a few years ago and I get a new notebook every year for around $12. First, I hadn’t ever thought to count the pages of journals before and this is half the size of the others. That’s on me, I guess. The cover isn’t very thick and it’s not a hard cover, the edges are rough, it’s a little thicker than the cardboard on the back of a yellow legal pad. I do like the design, but as far as quality goes this is something you would find at a five below or dollar general… this is the same paper used in little cheap notebooks that come in packs of 25 for childrens’ birthday parties. It’s thin, and kind of loose on the spiral binding. It’s going to tear out if you accidentally put any pressure on it while turning pages. Ok for something at this price that’s 300 pages but very sad and stingy for something that’s only 68 or so.If you just need a basic journal and the price doesn’t matter, then this is fine. But if journaling is part of a daily/weekly ritual and you’re particular about the texture and feel of your pens and paper, this isn’t that kind of journal.

The cover is very pretty but I expected a lot more for £11 !Beware its not 160 pages, it's 80.Save a lot of money and buy for a third of the price from a supermarket.I should have returned it but I took the wrapper off it.

Bought for my Mum, this is really pretty, great size, I would purchase it again for myself.

A nice notepad

The spiral on the side is sage green like the the cover page. The lines inside the notebook are also sage green and they match the cover page. I bought this notebook for journaling and it is a great size (A5).The only problem with it is the pages are very thin. You need to be careful about the type of pens you use. I recommend using gel pens that do not bleed easily to the next page. Overall, I quite like this purchase.

Was excited to get this notebook because i had a similar one that i bought from chapters and loved it. This one isn’t the same and seems like dollar store quality
