Would Prefer if It Were a Two-Sided Ruler

This is a nice ruler. Does its job well. However I would have preferred if it was two-sided rather than just one-sided with a cork backing. I like a good metal ruler that I can use in conjunction with an X-Acto knife rather than inadertently carving up a plastic ruler.

Just What I Needed!

I lost my 'old' 12" ruler and knew that Staples would be the place to find its replacement. And I was right! It has all the features I need - a ruler of sturdy metal with black tick marks and numbers.

A great desk ruler that'll last forever

It would take MAJOR abuse to damage it. The measurements are precise and easy to read. Th cork back makes it nonslip. Five stars means I obviously like it and recommend it!

Sturdy product

I’ve used the "Non Slip Cork Based Office Ruler "at work for 15 years. When I created a home office I didn’t consider purchasing any other ruler but this one. Its quality with a solid metal construction long lasting numbers and non-slip cork backing makes it a quality product (the 15 year old ruler is in as good shape as the new one!) Did I mention it surpasses a typical wood ruler (which can break) with its long-lasting imprinted numbers. I LOVE it and though it will last for many many years I won’t buy any other brand of ruler again. Surely when I recommend this item to others they will undoubtedly feel the same way.

The ruler was a very good buy as it can be used for all levels of schooling. The fact that it is sturdy and clear works very well.
