Thin, poor quality, basically see through paper I have been an Amazon customer since 2011 and I do about 100% of my purchases here unless it is food or clothes, and this is my first time writing a review just because how terrible these pads are!!!! Like before if I got a bad product I didn’t care enough to write a review, but wowwww these are soooo low quality! I bought a package a few months ago and I LOVED the quality. They were the Amazon basics legal pads, quality of the paper was great, thick, smooth, but these, the second I took the wrapping off I could tell they are terrible. It is so so sad that Amazon did this because it’s a shame! I really was hoping to get the same quality of paper my second purchase and I didn’t. It is hard finding good quality legal pads and Amazon ruined what they had.
Random packaging, great value I was very skeptical about how they packaged it… (see picture) so I had to make sure I got correct number of note pads.I read some reviews talking about how thin the paper is, and let me tell you that it is thin. I have ordered this size as well as regular letter size amazon basic pads, and they are both thin.If you are looking for a great quality one, then please go ahead and spend $10/pad.However I am looking for affordable pads to write quick memo or for my kids to draw endlessly. So this is perfect. Very similar quality as what you would get from major stationary companies but with amazon service and prime shipping :)!Very happy with the price and quantity I get.
Good value but is thinner than similar pad based paper. The paper is a bit thinner than I’m used to but for just taking notes and such it’s fine. I wouldn’t want to permanently store anything written on this paper as its just too thin. You’ll especially notice the thinness if you write on both sides. If you are using liquid ink, you may find you can’t even use the back side due to bleed through to the other side.The laser etched tear-off area is well done and most pages do tear on that line if done slowly. If you do get a nub of paper that didn’t tear off your last sheet at the laser line, pull it off before tearing your next sheet or all that follow will catch and not tear right.It’s whitish blue hue works well with ink or pencil. I found the yellow paper sometimes hid smears better but also dulled the ink/lead color. So I prefer the white coloration to the yellow.
