Exacompta Desk Pad, No.2 16x10cm - Plain

I'm one of those people that is always seeking the best notebooks, note pads, pencils and pens. Over the years I've tried hundred of different products and I think I've finally landed on my favorite.The base of this pad is a bent piece of coated aluminum (not bronze as someone might assume from the product photos). On top are two knurled nuts attached to another piece of coated aluminum to hold your paper in place and to make it easy to tear off a new sheet. It's a simple design, simple concept, and really well executed.It looks good on your desk. People will probably ask you about it. The paper is easy to replace and fits a fairly large pad so you won't have to do replacements very often. I personally love the 21x13.5cm size. It's smaller than a full size piece of note paper but about 3-4x the size of a post-it note. for me that means I feel comfortable jotting down a grocery list and tearing off a sheet, or taking a full set of notes in a meeting.This has become my go-to desk pad/note pad and I don't imagine anything will replace it in the near future!

Well made. Nicely designed. Perhaps priced at a premium but as with any such product, one is aware of the price premium. I was surprised at the paper quality. I was expecting more of a “Rhodia” quality paper. This seems fine with my fountain pen, but it is a bit scratchy paper. For a utility style note pad I guess that’s acceptable.Should you buy it? Do you want to indulge a bit? It is certainly not an “essential” commodity but it is a sweet note pad.Beware, the #4 pad as featured above, has proven difficult to secure refills for.

Came across this through a youtuber I watch, and managed to find this. And I love it. Definitely worth the buy.

I was trying to purchase refills, some comments said it would be refills only some said it was the complete device.Got stuck with the entire thing and can’t return it. I had to purchase the refills outside of Amazon.Bad experience

This old-fashioned paper pad with brass screws to hold the paper in place is, amazingly, still made in France. For the price, that's quite amazing. You can also get the replacement paper, also made in France, for a very reasonable price right on Amazon. It comes in a nice open-top black box, sealed in cellophane, perfect for gifting. And it's a gorgeous thing to have on the desk, even if you don't use it! Really unique, authentically French, and made in France. Five Stars!

I purchased a second item through Amazon, the first "version" was from another vender.That being said, the version I got from Amazon, is slightly warped. It rocks a little when in use. Think uneven table. It is annoying. The other one (from a different vendor) did not have this issue.So, I don't know if it is a quality control issue on the manufacturer, or if the reason for the less expensive price is because of "factory seconds." <Some others state that the description is inaccurate for the product. Also, the product was significantly cheaper on Amazon versus the other vender, so this lead me to suspect that these are factory second products.>The issue I think is the placement of the foam feet, that is making the pad rock ever so slightly.That being said, the product is very good, if you get one with good quality control.The paper holds up rather well to a fountain pen, markers not so much.The true benefit of this product is the perforation. When the brass holder bar is tight, the page rips of cleanly with one hand. Also, there "Left over" page, (the part under the brass screws) can be used for one or two lines [perfect for phone numbers that you need to hand to someone else.]It is a nice pad to keep on your desk, but I personally prefer their smallest size.This size, 21cm X 13.5cm, is about the size of a half sheet of paper ~ 7 in by 5.5 in (you loose an inch for the perforated part). I write small, so this size is very big for me.So bottom line: I DO recommend the product, I DO NOT recommend the vendor.

The paper could be thicker- but bc it's not use it for everyday notes and todos. I love the industrial look too.

An elegant desktop accessory that solves the age-old "scratch paper search" dilemma. The base of the pad is sturdy, the paper tears off neatly, and best of all, you no longer need to feel ashamed by that wimpy little Office Depot pad flopping around on your desk (like a flying fish) whenever you need to jot down a note. And — it's a great conversation starter for the ladies, guys. You simply point at the pad and whisper "Ça vient de Paris, chérie"... and go from there.

El diseño me resulta peculiar y a la vez agradable. El papel no es tan suave como algunos otros de marcas japonesas, sin embargo con plumas fuente de diferente plumin (incluyendo los los gruesos) tiene un desempeño bastante agradable, no traspasa el papel y es resistente a la tracción. Un bonito accesorio para el escritorio.
