83% highlighted the paper quality, although 17% found it thin
The paper quality is smooth and fun to draw on, but it has a yellow tint, so it may not be suitable for those who do not want a yellow paper.
The paper quality is good and it feels smooth to draw on.
The paper quality is great with pens and pencils, but it bleeds through instantly with alcohol markers.
The paper quality is heavy enough for light watercolor washes and pen work, but the surface is slick and requires some scrubbing if I use inks or watercolor.

79% found the page layout useful, although 21% didn't
There is a 2-3 mm space between the page edge and the covers edge.
The stitching in the middle and separate pages make it look unprofessional.

I had no bleed through with most markers even after drenching the paper in ink.

84% liked the cover durability
The cover material is soft, grippy, and durable. I could draw lines on it with the moisture from my fingertips, only for it to evaporate a second later.
The cover is sturdy and has prevented any damage to the pages so far from months.
The sketchbook's cover has good durability as it withstood a fall without any dents or warping.
The notebook cover is solid and can withstand a beating.

76% praised the closure mechanism
The closure mechanism of this sketchbook prevents corners from warping and dog-earring, which is my personal pet peeve.
The notebook has a bookmark string and elastic band to keep it closed when not in use.
The elastic closure keeps the book closed tight, preventing any loose pieces of paper from falling out.
The closure is elastic and keeps my papers organized, even if they are jumbled.

77% appreciated the binding strength
I like the binding of the sketchbook because it allows me to open it almost perfectly flat, making it easy to draw two-page spreads.
The binding is great and the paper is high quality and smooth.
I have been using Moleskines and the bindings hold up superbly.
My notebook has a strong binding that prevents the spine from breaking when folding pages or placing heavy objects on the corners to keep them flat.
