First impressions matter, and this clipboard delivers! The black peony design is even prettier in person—matte finish gives it a classy vibe (not the cheap shiny kind).

The MDF wood fiber base feels solid—no bending or cracking even when I’ve accidentally sat on it in my work bag. Rounded edges are a lifesaver; no more snagging sweaters or picking at corners!

Real-talk test: Held 90 sheets during a chaotic outdoor workshop without dropping a single page. The low-profile metal clip grips tight but won’t dent your papers. Bonus: fits most legal-size sheets too.

Unexpected win? Used it as an improvised plate for pizza slices (oops)—wiped clean easily with no stains. After 3 months of daily abuse, it still looks new except for minor edge scuffs.

Watch-out: The decorative print might fade if scrubbed harshly. Not ideal for heavy industrial use, but perfect for students/creative pros who want function + flair.
