I would say don't get this unless you simply want it for the "stylish" design.

Very cute design and the receiver of this gift loved it

Love the design and looks great on my desk.

the design is cute and clever, not as large in size as appeared and does not have the strength and durability associated with the Swingline brand.

Cool design

But overall I love the design, although I do not use it much.

After I got it I noticed store clerks trying to staple with regular staplers OFF the counter, and the staple wouldn't bend properly, the stapler would jam, and of course the papers wouldn't staple together, and they'd blame the D#!@*
