The size of these pads is very useful. The paper stock seems a little thinner than the paper stock of several years ago. Thinner paper causes the pages to not tear off the pad cleanly. Please do NOT let the paper stock become any thinner ! This may seem like a small point but it is important.
always good to have a "tear top" white lined sheet pad . Wish it could be also available in the 6x9 Inch size as well. but the smaller size works just fine.
Being the second time I order I go onto the site and look up double pads and a Staples Brand double pad pops up I order it and this arrives on delivery. TruRed does put out some nice products for a less expensive option but they are also cheaply made. These pads have one major issue and that’s the perforation. The pages ALWAYS rip unevenly and for an “OCD” (lol) person like me it drives me nuts. I prefer the TOPS brand for double pads but in this size they are always out of stock. If a STAPLES BRAND IS BEING ADVERTISED WITH THE STAPLES LOGO THEN SEND ME A STAPLES NAMED PRODUCT. Not your offset brand TruRed. False advertising because I’ve had these pads just recently in your BRAND as well. Thanks!
The pads were just what I wanted. I use them for short notes grocery lists puzzles things I have to remember etc. I have been using them for years. Always have them on hand.
I was hoping for a 5X8 pad more like Top's 99607 white. The sheet stays attached to the pad without perforations. Of course this has disadvantages: the sheets must be cut away with a pocket knife or razor. The Staples version has perforations that cause the sheet to tear away easily. This is undesirable.
