This Pioneer photo album provides an impressive display for your 4x6" photos. I now own 6 of these albums, and I've never seen anything else that compares. The post-style page mounting allows the albums to be expanded (inserts available here at Amazon). Two of my favorite albums are now almost 2 inches thick. These become good-looking, impressive ambums for showing off to family and friends. The wide pages really make your picture displays look good, and the gold embossed back bindings make the albums look great in your personal library. If you're proud of your photos, this is the album to own.

Very good quality album. I love this size and format best because it holds 6 pictures per page, so you can see 12 pictures at the same time. It also has a little space for a short note for each picture. Pictures can be placed both vertically and horizontally. Good quality paper. I never added any additional pages to it, wasn't easy, I just buy another album if I have more than 300 pictures.

I bought two of these albums. When they first arrived, we
were thrilled. But soon found out that 2 or 3 of the 6
photo pockets on each page were too small! Our 4x6 photos
measured either 5 7/8 inches or 5 15/16 inches in width,
so there was no problem with the prints. Pioneer evidently
has no quality control, and they have no customer service,
or any apparent interest in their customer's concerns.
A nice concept, but the execution is problematic. Buy at
your own risk.

This is my favorite photo album because it hold 6 pictures per page (per side) which means you can look at 12 pictures at once. This is nice if you are showing someone your pictures, because they can go through them pretty quickly if they are not that interested, or slowly if they are. The memo line is just the right size to add comments and nicely position above the picture. The album also looks attractive on the shelf. When loaded, these albums are flat, which makes them more space efficient on a bookshelf (rather than some albums that have big internal binding rings that make album overall triangular shaped, and difficult to store side by side on a shelf.

Importantly, note that the photo refill pages come in packs of 5 sheets for 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the entire album, whereas the albums contain 25 sheets (x12=300 pics). Thus, it's much more cost effective to buy 2 albums and combine them. Note that it is possible to have almost 50 pages in one album without the need for the extender posts and spacers included with the refill pages. If you want very thick albums (rather than just more albums) you may want to consider buying one photo refill with extender posts for every 3 albums to create large album with 80 pages. That's 3 x 12 dollars (for 3 albums) plus 5 dollars (for refill) = 41 dollars for one super thick (80 page) album, versus paying 1 x 12 dollars (for 1 album) plus 11 x 5 dollars (for 11 refills) = 67 dollars for 80 page album.

The only thing I don't like about this kind of album is that you have to take it apart if you find some additional pictures that you forgot (versus albums with easy open binders). With that said, I'd rather the hastle of opening it all up (3 screws) and the above features than having the quick open binder style. (my wife disagrees)

I have used a number of different albums over the years, and this is so easy! I am no longer daunted by a big roll of film with lots of good pictures. I have 250 pictures in one album.

I bought this album and 10 packets of refills to house our trip pictures to China when we adopted our daughter. I had over 1000 photos and when I started to try to insert them (TRY IS EMPHASISED) into the pockets I found them too tight and too small. I ended up having to cut each photo by 1/8 inch and use a shoe horn, no joke, to ease them in. The whole project took me days to complete. These albums and refills may be fine for a few pages but for any larger album project buy something else. I wouldn't have even bothered to write this review if I wasn't so pissed off.

This photo album came as advertised. It was high quality and just overall nice. It was bigger than I had expected, but I would have bought it even if I had been paying attention to the dimensions. It came well-wrapped for mailing. Highly recommend! (Great for vacation pictures!!)

This is a good basic photo album. Each picture fits in a pocket and you can write short notes about each picture. I like that the pages and pockets are acid free, archive quality. I got these albums mainly because it turns out that you cannot expand an album forever with refill pages. The cheap cardboard cover breaks after a time. One refill may be possile.

Good photo album, the one thing i would say about it, buy two refill packs with it. When ya first look at you'll think its way too skinny. Other then that im pretty happy with this purchase.

This album is pure junk. 1. The picture is EXTREMELY deceptive. 2. The seller fails to point out obvious factors that a purchaser would obviously want to know. 3. The spine is made of paper! Not thin cardborard, not plastic, but paper, and it rips/punctures/tears very easily. 4. The item dscription insinuates that pages can be added, that is false! The posts are just long enough to hold the 25 sheets that it comes with! 5. Attempting to move/remove/rearrange pages requires 2 screw drivers, 2 people/2 sets of hands, extremely carefully handling because it is so easily torn, about a half an hour of time, and a lot of patience. In short, whatever happened to good old fashioned 3 hole punch photo sheets, and albums made of thick and heavy cardboard or leather? DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
