I have been buying TOPS Docket Gold pads for years and liked them, but my last two purchases have been horrible. The 12 pack I bought in March only had one staple to hold the pad to the cardboard backing and it didn’t even go through the cardboard. Some of the pages were hard to tear and on most pages the lines didn’t reach the edge. I thought it was probably a one-off mistake so I bought more in January. These pads have the required two staples BUT THEY DON’T HOLD THE PAD TO THE CARDBOARD BACKING. I read that someone recommended Mead pads so I will try them. Don’t buy Docket Gold. THEY ARE DEFECTIVE.

I use these all the time. The ink does not bleed through and I especially like that there is some decent rigidity and sturdiness to the backing.

Quality pads; 20# paper, very little bleed through with a broad, heavy fountain pen. Perforation is good and the sheets tear off cleanly. Well made.

I have been using these pads for years. I work in a medical office, where I still have some paper files vs. all on computer, and I won't use anything but this paper for taking notes in patient charts. We have pre-printed forms, but for free hand notes, the thickness of this paper is the best. I've used other cheaper pads, you can see right through them from the back, I can write on both sides of this paper if I need to.I keep thinking maybe the paper won't be as good in the future, but just bought another 10 pack and it is just as good as ever. Not inexpensive for paper pads, but worth it and you get what you pay for.

Usually, if there are nice and cheap alternatives for things, I'd say go cheap unless you really want to spend the money on an item that makes you feel good.But when it comes to these legal pads, I'd say forget the slightly cheaper ones and get these -- they're well-made, heavier, and the backing is so stiff that you don't need a clipboard.

I use these pads all the time, and this is the only brand I buy. Far superior to the other brands, and worth a little more money.

Tops legal pads are the absolute best! Thick, sturdy cardboard backing (like they all used to be in the 1970's), paper is bright and heavy too. I really dislike droopy legal pads. I like computers, but there's nothing like working the day using legal pads in small and large sizes, to make lists, draw, formulate contracts etc. It's really hard to be focused and creative when I'm fighting with a limp-legal pad!The "old school" mom & pop stationary store in town had only 1 choice of heavy pads but cost $16 each! I believe it was an English import paper company. I really wanted to see & feel the pads, but finally decided to trust Amazon's reviews and descriptions and found TOPS. Bought a pack of large & small and couldn't be happier. Well worth the price.I used to live in a Third World Country where everything was thin, and bad quality... much like all the energy saving products we love today in the US - So, I just don't waste it and enjoy the beauty of good quality paper!

Habe extra die beste Qualitätsstufe "Ultimate" bestellt, bin aber enttäuscht. Der Druck ist billig, die Linien teils verschoben. Das Papier an sich in Ordnung. Es eignet sich für Notizen die man nicht aufheben muss. Ein Premiumprodukt wie es beworben wird, ist es nicht.

Nice pads, but very expensive. Still, they are nice. Three of mine were water damaged (in the middle of the pack).

Its a good product but I ended up returning it because around the same price you can get Mead Cambridge pads which are of superior quality to this one. Giving it a 4 star as there is nothing wrong with the product itself.

Cuatro estrellas porque considero que es algo caro, pero eso si, la calidad es buenísima. Es una marca que usaba mucho en USA y que en España solo encuentro a través de Amazon.
