Hama Jumbo Art Album | 30x30 cm |100 White Pages | Black

Got 2 of these to stick photos in.Cover lovely, but I did have to send one back and replace as spine slightly crushed.No problem there, they just sent out straight away replacement.Black paper is not really thick, but I didn't mind as photos made them more solid. Crepe paper between absolutely lovely.I used sticking tabs which adhered well and I could actually get them off if I hadn't got photos straight enough with no damage to paper.Bought white pens to write on black paper, did a few test runs under photo placement to make sure they could be used. They were ok and no smudging.I could fit 4 photos of each paper - 2 portrait, 2 landscape. I had to cut photos if wanted all landscape on a page, but that was half the fun, filling the scrapbook, working out where to place photos and writing.One book is now full. It looks spectacular.Front page where you can slot in a photo is a bit naff and fiddly (thin plastic, not glass. I may update and make this better.However, for the price I love them. They look very classy.... Will buy more...

This is the second one I have bought. So take it I live it . Great value for very little money .

I needed an old fashioned sort of album to keep together a large number of ancient family photos which were in danger of getting damaged in the various boxes where they were living. I took a bit of a gamble on this album, as it seemed rather cheap, but it's actually very nice indeed. The paper is thick, I like the protective paper for each page, the cover seems sturdy, and I very much like how as the album has filled up it has not gone out of shape - with a lot of albums as the photos go in and the pages get 'thicker' the covers start to warp, and look unstable. This hasn't, and I have used nearly all the pages, with multiple photos on both sides of the pages, and with a lot of postcard-type photos and ones on those thin card mounts which I can't get off without damaging the photo.I am buying a second one to transfer all my old family photos into.Obviously you need to buy photo corners to place your pictures; and I bought the album with white pages so I could easily write next to each photo who, what, where and when.Excellent value for money, and seems to be very good quality.

We have bought several of these. they are expensive, but impressive

This album on the surface is beautifully put together, it be footing for any thing day from a wedding collection to memories ….. my only fault in it is how to insert your photos ! I had to use a paper glue which isn’t ideal ! I think the manufacturer and designers of this should have given more thought to it . They should have taken inspiration from the ‘80’s versions !

I had planned to send this back as I thought the paper wasn't strong enough. However, I didn't and it seems fine after all. The outside was a little bit marked with the odd glue streak or something- not badly though. It does look lovely and have a large capacity. I am using it for all the odd sized photos that don't fit the pocket style albums. I might have preferred black paper inside, which was a bit more expensive. I do recommend it, I searched for good value large albums and it fits the bill for traditional style ones. Remember you need to get photo corners or use glue and it will take a bit longer than other types of album. There are glassine leaves between pages to protect the photos.

Good quality album. Requires photo corners or some other way to stick the photos, as it's not adhesive (which is fine, that's what I wanted, but it's important to know).An important point is that to get to the maximum capacity, you have to fit 4 photos per page and that requires them to be 2 portrait, and 2 landscape, in a very specific configuration. If you want to keep the chronological sequence this will rarely happen, so you can expect perhaps 50-75% "fill rate" depending on how strict you are with keeping the sequence within one page.The interstitial sheets can get crumpled if not careful, but no big deal. Overall quite a good product, got a couple more in different colors for future photos.

I bought this to make a photo album as a present.It is smart, made of good quality paper, great tissue lining between each page and the covers are very firm. If anything I'd say it is a bit heavy and really big, so it is an album you would have to sit down for to look through.Sticky corners have generally stayed in place so far though on turning pages, some photos have popped out of their corners so perhaps another form of adhesion might be better, like glue dots or gluing the full photo.I would recommend this album to others if you're looking for a high-quality product.
