The pads are also very well-bound, which means that pages don't tear out easily and the pad stays together. Anyone have a legal pad that does this consistently? Spending a lot more would not give you much better value than these.

Paper is smooth and the perforations good for the most part tho sometimes you have to be careful if you want a clear tear. The colors are pleasant and as pictured.

Cheap cost is not worth the frustration and lack of functionality! It seems to me that the seller and i do seem to have a different definition of the word quality.

These pads suffer from poor paper perforation. Could not tear out clean because too glued improperly to the spine. If you're ok with every sheet having a sloppy rough edge after you tear it, then these are fine.
