TOPS 8.5 x 11 Legal Pads, 6 Pack, Premium Docket Gold Brand, Narrow Ruled, Thick Yellow Paper, Sturdy Back, 50 Sheets, Made in USA (63941)

I've read some of the more critical reviews on this paper, and respectfully, I'm not sure I can really agree with those. If you are looking for narrow-ruled paper that is heavier than normal and tears well from the tablet, this one, for me, hits all the high notes. I use these all the time at work to make notes, develop content, draw pictures, etc. and have been completely satisfied. I have had no perforation tearing problems: if you just take a moment to pull carefully (and straight), the perforation tears just fine. And the added thickness makes it more pleasurable to use than standard paper, and I've always been a fan of narrow-ruled paper.Over the years, my wife and I have brought back from Europe paper made in France that is so high quality you can't believe it. That type of paper is, however, the work of artisans who work for companies that have been making paper for hundreds of years, and the texture, composition, and cut is something you have to experience firsthand to appreciate. These TOPS tablets are not attempting to reach that level, nor should they be, or they would be running about $150 or more for this set. But what you DO have here is very good quality paper with a moderate texture feel that is thick and useful, and at a reasonable cost. Understanding what this paper is--and what it is NOT--is the key to appreciating it! I rate it five stars.

This is my dream writing pad! I used to always end up ignoring the lines on regular paper, because I prefer to write smaller. The lines on this are tighter together than normal, perfectly suiting the natural size & spacing of my writing! Not as wide a top margin either, which is perfect. I also enjoy the texture. It is a bit heavier and smoother than common paper, very nice feel to it. While some paper has a smell that makes my hands & eyes itch (I guess it's the tree sap in the pulp?) this is practically odorless. Really if I were to invent the perfect writing pad, this is exactly what I would have come up with.Because the pages are so thick & lovely, it feels like a waste to throw one away though. If you're just making a to-do list or a rough copy, maybe use something not so nice. I definitely still like having some cheap nasty paper around too. But when I sit down to write a letter, having this to use always gives me a big smile. It's worthy of more than just five stars!

Thick paper, Easy to tear sheets off, college-lined. these are worth the price.

These are my favorite legal pads. The paper quality great and I love the narrow rule. These are a top choice in my office.

Glad these haven't been discontinued. Gel pens don't ruin the back page, & the narrow lines are wonderful. Quality pad.

My favorite writing pad, great product.

Good quality yellow pads, chipboard backing isn't as thick as some but adequate to stay stiff enough to write on.

I was looking to replace a Docket Gold narrow ruled tablet, 50 pages, that’s no longer available at the big box office supply store and finally found it! This is it!Be careful with other listings. They’ll say narrow rule (39 lines) but are really college rule (35 lines). The 100 page Docket Gold ‘narrow rule’ was really college rule and did NOT tear cleanly. What a misery while I use it up.
