Frequently asked questions
Is high-quality hyphenated?
Yes, when it comes before the noun: high-quality materials. After a linking verb write it as two words: the materials are of high quality, or simply the materials are high quality.
What is the difference between high-quality and premium?
High-quality describes how well something is made. Premium is a market position implying a higher price and often a more exclusive brand. Something can be genuinely high-quality without being premium, and expensive premium goods are not always well made.
Can you say very high-quality?
Yes, that is normal English, though it is a weak phrase. Naming what makes it good, such as full-grain leather or hand-finished, tells the reader far more.
