Roaring Spring - 74100 Enviroshades Legal Recycled Legal Pad, 8-1/2 X 11 in, 40 Sheets, Assorted Color, Pack of 3 - 1368694

Orchid listed as the one of the colors, is VERY misleading as the picture shows it more of a rose color than the bright purple that orchid actually is.The second picture I lined up various purple, pink and red pens and markers to try to show what color is close to what the orchid paper is.The third picture is what I am most unhappy with. On the back of my green pad, there is a hole. It was like that INSIDE the plastic wrapper.These will work for what I intend for them to work for, but not sure I will purchase again.

Paper is really poor quality, super thin, and smells bad. Writing with a pencil with normal pressure can tear holes into the paper. Some of the pages also look like they've gotten wet?

These writing pads are full like a standard writing pad. The purchase here is worth the money however, the paper itself is extremely thin. The perforations for tearing the page off, are not properly perforated. When you attempt to tear a sheet off of the pad, it tends to rip down away from the perforations into the document. I had to use scissors and could not get a straight cut straight off the pad. I had to trim it up AFTER getting it detached from the pad itself. Although this is not a seller nor an amazon error, I think people that are considering this purchase should be aware of this issue.

They look fine, but they smell just awful. They all have a very strong chemical smell to them that seems toxic. Unfortunately I opened the package so I can't return them but I think I'm going to throw them away.

Yucky thin paper. Not smooth. Has blemishes. More thin that regular ruled paper. Reminds me of this grayish paper my parents used to buy me in a pad when I was child because it was the cheapest.

Love this paper brand and love the assorted color options. Purchased the Roaring Spring Pack which is to contain 3 colors of pink, purple and green. Received my order today and the pack contains one pink and two purple. I just wish I could get what I ordered and paid for.

I use pencil and the paper quality is low. It's just really thin and it feels like the pencil is going to rip the paper. It works but I am going to switch to a higher quality paper if I can find it.

I have no problems with the paper as others have but I do have an issue with the cardboard backing. The cardboard is so thin and flimsy that you need something else behind it when writing...kind of defeats the purpose of having a pad I think.

Pros: I do like the colors of the paper and the cost is reasonableCons: I wish it came in a narrow ruled as I want to use this for writing letters, I can see the weird smell others have mentioned when I opened the package but hopefully this goes away over time. It is not the best paper quality it feels like a flyer I get in the mail or a newspaper. Each pad is only 4 sheets of paper.Would I order this item again? Unlikely unless I needed it for more of just a scratch pad or to give to kids to use.

It’s paper.... what more do you want. I love colour and I needed them for tutoring. Way easier than a binder with three hole punch. Again it’s preference, and they suit me great.

I had high hopes for this product. I love the colors and the eco aspect. the paper was very flimsy. I wouldn't buy it again.

These are fun pads of paper with lovely colours.

Unfortunately, these are cheaply made in India. I like the color but it's not the best buy at this price. Thin and below average quality.
