[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We love these sticky notes! I have been using them at work and at home period because I love to stick them in my notebook my planner and stick them in lunch boxes and on doors and mirrors. They stick well and we love them!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are the perfect size and they are super sticky! We use these daily in our house for school and work.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These stickie notes are exactly like any of the other brand name notes out there. The size is perfect for making little notes and the stickiness is just the right amount where it holds and doesn’t fly off but doesn’t leave any residue when you remove it. I use these all day long as I am a teacher and they’re perfect for what I need them to do.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received these in the mail in the summer. When they arrived half of them had been split in half from the heat I'm assuming. Needless to say the adhesive isn't very strong. That is good and bad. If you're wanting it to stick securely for awhile these may not be the right sticky notes for you. If you are wanting notes that stick well enough that don't leave a residue when you remove them then these will do the trick just fine.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now this is a proper pack of sticky notes! I use these for everything- lists reminders flags in books and project notes. There are enough of them in the pack to help me with all these jobs many times over and the 3x3 inch pad gives enough space for writing without being an unwieldy size. The sticky strip sticks well to a variety of different surfaces without leaving any residue behind. I also like that they're a classic yellow color but not so bright that I can't use colored pens on them.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used plenty brands of sticky notes. These are by far my favorite. They stick very well. I am writing this review on 6/11/2025 and this sticky is still standing since 6/1/2025. No smear when using my favorite inkiest pen. Very high quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These Staples Notes are a must have addition to your office supplies whether using for at home or in the office. The size is great stickiness is unmatched and the amount of notes in a pack is perfect. I find myself reaching for these notes each time I’m in need of a sticky note.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Staples Notes get the job done in the simplest sense—but after using them extensively I wouldn’t recommend them for anyone who needs reliability or consistency. There are better options out there and I’d gladly pay more for them next time. I use sticky notes constantly as part of my daily workflow—jotting ideas tasks lists and the occasional sketch. I post them directly on my desk monitor for quick visibility. In terms of size (3” x 3”) they’re exactly right—no complaints there. The soft yellow color is another plus: easy on the eyes subtle and far preferable to the neon tones that dominate this category. The problem is adhesion. It’s inconsistent to a frustrating degree. Some notes stick well enough to stay in place for weeks while others detach and flutter down within an hour. I’ve had more than a few land on my desk or keyboard mid-task—not ideal. More troubling is how dependent the sticking power is on how you peel the note off the pad—something most users shouldn’t have to think about. If you peel carefully straight back and perpendicular to the adhesive edge you’ll get decent adhesion. But if you peel in the more natural intuitive motion—diagonally from corner to corner as if turning a page—the failure rate is astounding. In my experience roughly 1 out of 10 notes peeled this way will stay in place. The rest fall quickly. This is simply poor product design. A sticky note should not require a technique to perform its most basic secondary function—sticking. On the plus side the notes do not leave visible residue and the quantity is generous: 24 pads 100 sheets each. But bulk doesn’t compensate for unreliability. I’d much rather spend more per note on a product that works consistently—especially in a professional context where I need notes to stay visible and accessible without fail. Bottom line: these are usable for throwaway notes or low-stakes applications but not for anything where reliability matters. I won’t be buying them again. Saving pennies per note is not worth the hassle and inconsistency. When it comes to tools—even simple ones like sticky notes—I’d rather invest in quality I can trust.
