Parah Life 500-Photo Premium Family Wedding Anniversary Baby Vacation Album

msamorales: This photo album is what I needed. It has plenty of room for photos. I love the screws in the back that allows you to remove and rearrange the pages because I like to place photos in chronological order and inevitable I'll find additional photos and instead of sitting the photos around, I can just insert another page. The screws are a nice feature because they keep the pages from popping out like some loose-leaf binders often do when the metal rings get distorted over time and don't line up. It has a cloth cover in the front and back to protect the first and last photo pages. The exterior is a faux leather that is well made. I like the ridged spine of the album. On the front cover I would have preferred a space for one large photo instead of multiple small photos, but it's not a deal breaker. Someone mentioned that the photo inserts themselves might be a little flimsy but they were ok. Just be careful when inserting the photos and you should be fine. The photos are inserted from the center of the page and are slid into the pocket. The photo album comes with strip labels that can be inserted into the pocket with the photos. There is plenty of space to insert a 4 by 6 photo. The...

SJFSJF: I've now bought these twice & love them. They far exceed in quality any other album ever bought, for 2 major reasons noted here: First, the stitching on each page between photo slots (see attached image) is extremely high quality & they don't break unlike other albums I've bought... so you don't have to worry about your photos sliding all over the place when stitching breaks like other albums. Second, I love the black backdrop on each page...which again is hard to find. Most albums on the market have a boring white backdrop & the photos just don't pop like they do against a BLACK backdrop. This alone makes this album totally awesome. While the 2 reasons above are my big 2 reasons for this being the most amazing album ever... other reasons are just overall quality. Leatherbound album cover, quality, look & feel, etc. Oh and the ability to store 500 photos is a major bonus!!! I am forever sold on PARAH LIFE albums, as these should last forever & look amazing.

Avi uz: Update! I contacted them. They are super pleasant and courteous and immediately sent me a new album free of charge. Didn't even need to return the old one! Super impressed. And also, we started loading it up with our pictures and it's awesome!! Super impressive. Oh and also the website is back up and running! Thank you @parahlife

The album has a ton of room and I love the ability to use landscape and portrait pictures and to be able to add picture memos in such a classy way. And it can hold an enormous amount of pictures. Haven't found any album like it.
They vouch for sturdiness but I'm not so impressed. Right as we opened it the little screws to hold in the pictures for the front cover fell out. The actual book seems ok. The plastic for the pictures feels a drop flimsy but so far seems like it does the job.
Officially has lifetime warranty but the website they give to register the item doesn't exist???

JBiz: I ordered my first album about 1.5 years ago - which goes to show how many photos it holds! It's durable and lovely. I've yet to find any other album that I like more.

Do be aware that the photo slots run pretty big - you have to be gentle turning pages so that your photos don't fall out, and even then, you'll spend some time pushing them back into their slots (especially the vertical photos). I would definitely LOVE to see the overall size shrunk just a tad to keep this from happening (this is the reason for four stars).

HOWEVER, upon finishing the album and getting down to the last dozen pages, I discovered some brownish melted/glue spots on some of the photo plastics. 15 or so photo spaces are ruined, but of course all this time later, there's nothing I can do about it as far as returning or contacting the company goes. So while I probably just got unlucky and got a defected and/or returned item, I would definitely check yours carefully.

EDIT: After a few more issues popped up (binding broke, etc), I was able to get in touch with the seller, who was super understanding and easy to work with to get the issues resolved! I'm a very satisfied customer and...

Hans: Got this to put all the 5x7 photos our family gave us from our wedding. 2 portrait and 3 landscape photos per page side is a good balance. Although all photos inside are 5x7, the cover photos are smaller, but you can easily cut down a 5x7 to fit those.

Pros:
- Lots of photo space, at 5 per page
- Label tab to label photos on a page
- Pages don't feel cheap
- Ability to add/remove pages if needed
- Bound with a screw so it can be removed, but won't dump pages like a binder and looks nicer
- Sleeves open towards inside of book so loose photos won't fall out of book

Cons:
- Leather will show wear through the years, spine shows minor wear from shipping
- Portrait sleeves open long-wise so photos tend to slide

For what I paid these Cons are very minor, I'm very happy with the photo album and am happy to recommend it.
