I see the top is veneer...does it leave writing imprints if you write on a single piece of paper on the desk without a desk blotter/pad under it?

Dunno. I use a vinyl desk pad. So I can't answer your question. But FWIW, I I can tell you that I love this desk, and for me the desk is one of the three most important pieces of fun urniture in my house. Solid, good looking, good drawer space, and, if it's important to you, very easy to assemble.

I don't write directly on it, but can tell you that I love this desk. It is so hard to find. Decent desk at a reasonable price even though I live in the Los Angeles area. By the way, it wasn't that hard to put together.

Hi, It may leave an imprint but we always write on at least another piece of paper so we don't do exactly that. It is however a very nice desk overall.

I did not know, so I printed on velum paper and then applied some water to it. Then I rubbed the paper. The water turned a light gray color but the ink was still readable with sharp characters. Velum paper in matt finish and very thick paper. I would use it to print my checks. When the water on the paper dries-it left a light gray transparent mark on my paper. Hope this helps.

Nope, no letters. Just a "skin" to keep it clean when used in an "other than office" environment .

No....but I have had it for over a year and it hasn't scratched my desk surface because it is really smooth. Also, you can go to Home Depot or Lowes or a local home improvement center and buy some small felt pads if you like.

No, it will not. The pad acts like a paper and the pen like a pen. Any markings the pen does will be the only markings on the "paper" without the trouble of smearing or any annoying paper work issue.

Absolutely no writing or markings. One side is textured and the other is side is smooth and clear. Hope this helps.

So so. The surface is slightly pebbled. So you are ok until the last pages of your crossword book. Fine for writing in a composition book with a cardboard cover since the cardboard cover smoothes out the roughness in the lap desk.

No. Only on non-porous surfaces. Otherwise it sill stain what you write permanently.

Yes, that worked best for me. The first time you write on it, it looks faint. Then as the paper gets chalk dust on it the chalk shows up fine.

Yes. There are some writing programs that try to notice and ignore palm marks, but in my experience they aren't very successful. Adonit (and others) does make Bluetooth pens that I believe allow you to avoid such marks though.

No, it doesn't. I just love my desk set (blotter and pencil cup) it makes my roll-top look so handsome. I went out and bought a green poster board to slip into the blotter, and it looks great. Hope you enjoy it. Yvette Cronin.

Not really. And don't buy this thing. I ordered two, and on both of them the writing surface has separated out from the backing cardboard. Looks like a decal with air bubbles under it. Unusable.

It has a bit of a texture to it, so writing with just one layer of paper would not be great. We use our 2 tables at the holidays to create a dining area large enough for the entire extended family to sit together and they work great for that. However, I attend a class every year where the facility uses the exact same table and I am able to easily take notes in a legal pad. It would also be OK for kids to use for coloring or art projects. Hope that info helps. BTW...we love our table and chairs and the family kept commenting on how comfortable the matching chairs are espeicallly considering they are folding chairs.

The raised edge seems pretty permanent. It came attached already (one of the few things that does!!) when I opened the package. I think if you try to remove it you will damage the surface of the desk. I use a flat keyboard there with my computer on the right side of the desk--the raised part doesn't really get in my way so much since I am usually standing up so my hands are angled down.

It does not leave a mark, it comes off sorta like that stuff credit card companies use when they send you a card attached to the paper.

I would say you could worse on a single sheet of paper with seeing some bumps in the ink... Tablets of paper are okay.... It takes only 20 min max to assemble.. The only barrier is the delivery service.. FedEx damaged my corners-poor handling there- table and chair are good B+ quality

I use the Artistic Rhinolin on two desks,one glass and one wood.It doesn't leave any markings or material behind on the desks when I lift them. I love them on the glass top desk, it makes it easier to place objects on and makes the glass feel softer and less chilly.
