Here are my thoughts:

I got 90 pound pad as well as this 140 pound pad. The 90 pound one has really nice and thick paper, and this 140 pound is even thicker. But honestly, after using the 90 pound, I really don't see a need for anything thicker. Plus this 140 pound pad has only half as much paper for the same price as the 90 pound. There is a nice subtle texture to the surface of the paper and it has a matte finish, no gloss at all. Colored pencils and water color paints go on quite easily and and just like with the 90 pound there was not even a hint of bleed through. I typically prefer to have a spiral binding for anything I draw or sketch in, and I don't usually like the pad style. But this one is designed to tear out each page after use. And the cover is not attached to the top of the pad so it lays open nicely.
