The paper is is pretty thin, but at this price point I think these are still fantastic. It works well for both hanzi and kanji, so regardless of the language you're working on these will do fine.

Five pads of twenty sheets, all came in perfect condition. There's a light green tint to the sheets, similar to engineering paper. Overall, I like the thinness of the paper, which makes it very light, and the sheets are easy to tear apart. Unlike standard graph paper, I feel like there's plenty of space to write characters at a comfortable size, since each square is just over a half inch tall. Sheets are single sided, but the printed lines are visible on the back, so if I could use both sides if I wanted to (there's just some bleed through if using pen). Very satisfied for this price point.

Thin and thirsty sheets for calligraphy practice because the more you do, the better you get. Five separate pads of 20 sheets each so you can practice wherever you want to, the surface is smooth, the paper is cottony and rice paper-esque, so that the results of even a modest effort are encouraging. This paper is a must if you are beginning calligraphy and want the beautiful forms that come naturally only after you've practiced. The price is good for a specialized item like this.

I received the 100 writing practice sheets in a bag. It’s not so much a “book”, but a stack of sheet. I actually got this to practice my monoline italic handwriting. I was looking for some practice sheets, but only found ones for kids. But then I found these sheets and they look just like the one I saw used to practice monoline italic!Overall, I am very happy with these practice sheets, it was exactly what I needed! I just wish it came in an actual booklet form, with some hole punches, or at least room for holepunches. Still, for $4-$5, it’s not that bad of a deal!

These sheets are great for practicing writing Chinese characters. The squares and lines help with placement and making the strokes consistent and the right size. The paper quality is as expected and it works great.

The simple nature of this makes it difficult to review as it is what it is; pre-printed grid practice sheets for Hanzi. To my eyes they look authentic like many I see in online videos. I have found them very useful in getting the positioning of my strokes correct. On a blank sheet my characters are often irregular and weirdly spaced. The sheets come in pads and there 5 pads in the pack. Individual sheets are thin, so depending on the pen you are using, I would recommend removing each sheet to prevent bleeding to the next.In conclusion, they are great for practicing Hanzi and I'd recommend for anyone doing so.

I ordered this to use for practicing Japanese writing, not Chinese, but the kanji are very similar to the Mandarin ideograms (identical in at least some cases, as I can read the kanji for grade, name, year, month, and day next to some of the blanks at the top).The paper is fairly thin but quite smooth, and won't tear up my brush pens like a rougher texture would, should I opt to use ink... and works quite well with pencil too. It's printed with a green 8-sectioned square grid that helps me to place my initial strokes where they need to be for the kanji to be constructed correctly and aligned in neat columns when I'm finished. This is of course a specialty pad here in the US, more comparable to an elementary school book with the wide lines and center line so the lowercase letters are the right height. Advanced students can easily use graph paper without the extra center lines and still make their kanji correctly, but this is for the beginning writers. While it's not printed on the back side, it's possible if you're using pencil to use both sides of the paper, but ink bleeds through a bit too much to use the other side.At ~$5, this pack of 5 paper pads is relatively inexpensive for how much practice you can do, and the thin 20-sheet pads are easy to pack along almost anywhere.
