Lang

The Lang by Design Group. Lang.com. A business that makes calendars etc.

I bought my first Lang product before xmas last year. A 365 page desk calendar. I decided to buy one while out xmas shopping. I loved the picture on the box. Thought it would be a a nice addition for my desk. The calendar has artwork by Susan Wingett. She must be a famous artist in the USA. I don't know.

There's one major flaw with this calendar. The binding that holds the pages together. At the end of each day, I remove a page. This works good for a few days. Then I end up with a big, thick line of gluey gunk, & if left there, makes it very hard to remove more pages. There is only one thing to do - use a box cutter to completely remove the thick gunk. Then the calendar is good to go again. For a few more days. Then more thick gluey gunk appears!

Its become one big annoyance for me, & at the beginning of Nov, I'd finally had enough & recycled the rest of the calendar.

This calendar could of been made much better. Was obvously made to a cheap & nasty price! I'm not sure I want to buy another Lang calendar.

I love desk calendars. If there is a next time, which brand do I buy? I don't want to end up with the same problem happening again. Desk calendars made in the USA aren't very cheap here in OZ. They are about $25.00. I don't want to end up with another dud one.

If anyone has any suggestions as to which brand to buy, I'd love to hear from you. The next problem will be if I can buy them here in Australia.

Lang - you need to up your game! The crappy binding has definitely spoilt an otherwise lovely calendar. Give me a good reason why I should buy another one of your products please?
