Is the surface textured- not ideal for writing on?What material is the backside made of? and is it gel or foam stuffed?

The top (where the laptop rests) is hard breathable rubber. I actually just tested writing on a piece of printer paper and a ballpoint pen - surprisingly it works, not ideal to compose a novel on, but to jot notes down it should work well. The backside is just hard plastic with two thin rubber strips (for traction on tables) also can be written on and fells like you're writing on.....plastic. Hope that was helpful :)

Very slightly textured, but I don't think the texturing would be the problem. The problem I think would be that the surface is a soft rubber which would make writing a bit iffy. The backside is plastic, with long strips of rubber for feet. I think the desk is just plastic. Not stuffed with anything, really. It's a rigid desk.

The surface is rubber like with tiny pocks all over so that the laptop will stick. It's not a good writing surface except for maybe magic marker. The bottom is plastic with rubber strips on the top and bottom running lengthwise. There's a small upright rectangular framing of the logo and product info in the center.

Probably not good to write on as it is essentially a thin rubber coating. It us neither gel or foam stuffed but the underside is plastic. May sound insufficient to keep the heat off but it works! Also keeps the product thin

Yes, it is not ideal for writing on.Plastic, it's one solid piece, real flat. Just the top is rubbery.I hope that helps. We love ours, it's perfect for my son.

Feels like some kind of foam underneath the cloth cover. It is definitely not beads. I find it fairly comfortable padding, and I have a relatively heavy 17" Toshiba. HTH

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 is slightly a rough surface. I would recommend that use a hard surface under your paper before writing. It is a beautiful addition to any room. I really like it. It looks expensive. You would like it.

Textured because it has ground up tire bits in it. Not something would want to crawl on. No. I hope this helps.

Most of the reviews describe the texture. It's very porous and a little rough and textured. Most zentanglers gave tips for pens to use or how to seal or pre treat them.

yes it is foam, but didn't last very long. the cord is junk and it quit working after a month or so. kinda cheap

Hi, Sorry for the wait as I had to ask my daughter about it since it was a gift. The surface has a texture. Other then that it work fine, and she loves it.

I used some stamps on it (although I don't know what La Blanche are). It IS fairly smooth, no rough tooth. Its essentially printer paper but cardstock weight. I would add that it is not glossy either.

Hi A. Held!The Friendly Swede here:-) Apologies for the late reply, we're cleaning house on questions and noticed we missed yours! I would describe it as soft and pliable, not a firm writing tip. We do have some that are more firm for writing though, I'd be happy to show you some other options.

Jeane, I'm sorry I replied yes, but it is actually not the fabric textured. My review was for the plastic folio.

flexible but not floppy. it's not a stiff plastic - you would need to have it on rigid surface to write on it

The surface is textured, like a very fine pebble finish. I use mine mainly for putting hot pots on to protect my new Corian countertop, but I have also used it as a cutting board.

The surface is certainly smooth enough to write on, it's very smooth. It also has about 16 tilt positions between straight up and laying flat.

this paper is thin vinyl coated paper and is also smooth. You would probably have texture showing through the paper. I returned it because it was not the thick vinyl that I needed to cover my texture.

There isn't a hard surface. Many times I just slip the insert out a write on the pages that way. I looked at tons of these and like this combo overall far better than any others I have seen. Hope this helps.

I love my desk, but with a single sheet of paper the leather is too grainy to write on. I just make sure that I have several sheets or something underneath the paper for a smooth writing experience.
