This 3M Post-it® Tabletop Easel Pad is made of quality paper. The paper is thick enough to use markers. Unlike other brands, the sheets of paper do not rip as you are writing on the paper. The card board stand is easy to assemble. The stand has a cut out handle for easy transporting from one location to another. I would highly recommend this product not only to teachers but also to businessman to use during presentations. Thanks 3M for yet another quality product!!
