MADE IN USA – Debra Dale Designs Memo Note Pads – 8.5"x11" White Bond – 13 Pads, 50 Sheets Each – Office Desk Supplies

I don't write many reviews but felt compelled to express my appreciation for this product. I was reluctant to pay the price but glad I did. In this case you really get what you pay for. The paper quality is excellent, and the binding at the top is exemplary, better than I thought possible. It's possible to flip the pages up and have then hang flat or over the desk edge, then tear off the day's work, however, many pages that is, and they'll still stick together until I deliberately separate them. It's a real please writing and taking notes without the constraint and visual busyness of lines. Thank you for this excellent product.

Bought these to use on my desk at work. They're great for jotting down notes on phone calls, meetings and all the thousands of little interruptions that come throughout the day. Paper is nice and smooth. The pages tear off easily which I like. I take my notes, take any necessary actions then archive them or toss them. These notepads are perfect for that. The cardboard backer is stiff enough to write standing up if you happen to be walking around or have a stand-up meeting too.

I love taking notes on blank paper and hate lines pads that make me write in straight lines...lines are always too bold and distracting to me. I like to mind map as I take notes and need blank sheets. Wish the paper was a bit thicker that's all.

I absolutely loved the note pads I ordered. Quality paper and the print with the font I chose looked great. The staff at Debra Dale Designs were very helpful and I was sent proofs of all the note pads I ordered. I got them as gifts for the doctors I work with as they like to give the patients written instructions. I will be purchasing other customized items for friends and family, that I have every confidence they will love.

Hard to find unrolled white paper pad. Great for sketching out ideas without using up more expensive sketch pads. Though these do end up being kind of pricy they are over 3.00 a piece.This paper is pretty nice to write on it's the best I've found and takes a pencil or pen line I use a Rotring sketch fountain pen a lot and it has a nice simple feel on this paper. Colored markers that I sampled don't bleed through and ruin the page behind washable crayola's and some various other brands I have laying around. Blackwing, and their 602 don't erase all the way.The thing I am so disappointed with is that the backing board is the crappiest floppiest thing ever. They also have the grain of the thinnest cardboard available which seems to have a sheet laminated to it running the short way across the pad instead of the long way so it curves and flops when you pick it up no matter what you do. One has to have a stiff board to attach it to to make the pads useful.So what this means is a binder clip and a thick piece of traditional cardboard or a clipboard or something to keep this thing more useful handy and nice. I really wish it came with a stiff backing board. Love having a simple plain unruled pad but wish it was the ultimate and it's just that one step away from making them awesome. If they turned the backing board 90° it would help the structure but if they used a quality binder's board that would be even better this would become the ultimate white paper unruled pad.Maybe an option for the board improvement with a price difference . . . suggestion!

Fits into my aesthetics.

For many years I've used 3 X 5 memo pads for grocery shopping. In recent years the quality of most commercially available paper products like memo pads, notebooks, etc. has significantly deteriorated: re-cycled paper is horrible, it's thin, your writing bleeds, it stinks. But not these memo pads! Made of 20lb bond paper—a real pleasure to write on.Good luck in trying to find other memo pads of 20lb strength! These are definitely worth the price—(to me).

It was so hard to find blank 8.5 x 11 pads and these were expensive. The quality of the paper is good but the glue leaves something to be desired. I know the last pages of each pad are not going to stay attached. I use a small binder clip on my folio to keep them in place. Certainly not ideal but this is the best option I've found. I'll purchase again unless someone puts out something better. I'd love to find some that are perforated at the top instead of just glued.
