but I am very pleased with the purchase
This lovely journal has not yet been given, but I am very pleased with the purchase.  The wood cover is sturdy enough to allow for the laser cut to look very clean.  The design is well executed.  The back of the journal is not wood, but is a material strong enough to not distract for the overall effect of the journal.  I look forward to giving it as a gift.
