Its design article says the base has chamfered edges and a single pill-shaped, press-fit stud at the top that holds the paper. Grovemade sells it beside its [desk pen](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/grovemade-desk-pen/) as "the Desk Duo". ## What sizes does it come in? **Three: Small, Medium and Slim.** The sizes are Grovemade's own, read on October 31, 2026, and all three bases are 0.875 in (22 mm) thick. | Size | Length × width (in) | Length × width (mm) | |---|---|---| | Small | 6 × 4.3 | 152 × 109 | | Medium | 8 × 5.9 | 203 × 150 | | Slim | 9 × 3.25 | 229 × 83 | The design article calls the notepad "long and narrow" and says more sizes were coming. MacTech reported Small and Medium as new on January 25, 2023. ![Layers of the Grovemade notepad: dot grid paper on a machined metal base with two natural cork feet](https://stationerytimes.com/images/grovemade-notepad-layers.svg?v=5bbff5ab) *Our sketch of the layers; the proportions are not to scale. Original illustration made for this guide. © Stationery Times.* ## What paper does it use? **Dot grid paper, printed on both sides, 70 sheets to start.** Grovemade says the aluminum notepad uses 80# paper that is reversible, and the brass one uses 70# paper. Its spec list says 80# text dot grid paper. We don't know why the two differ. The design article says Grovemade chose dot grid so the pad works in any orientation, and that the paper is thick enough to write on both sides. ## How do you refill it? **With Grovemade Notepad Refills, sold as a 2-pack.** The product page names no other refill. It doesn't say how many sheets a pack holds, and we didn't check whether other pads fit the stud. ## What colors and finishes are there? **Aluminum and brass bases, and black, brass and silver per the design article.** The product page doesn't list color options, so we don't draw color swatches. Grovemade says the brass notepad will patina over time, and the page carries California's Proposition 65 warning about lead for the brass version. ## What does it cost? **Grovemade doesn't print a notepad price on the pages we could read, so this is a press price.** MacTech reported on January 25, 2023 that Small and Medium notepads started at US$80, in our $$$$ band (over $75). 9to5Toys listed the first notepad on May 21, 2021 at US$100 in black or silver and US$140 in brass. Check Grovemade's store for today's price. ## Where is it made? **Grovemade says design and final assembly are in Portland, Oregon, with manufacturing by vendor partners in Portland.** ## What goes with it? **The [Grovemade desk pen](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/grovemade-desk-pen/) is its pair, and the [Grovemade desk pad](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/grovemade-desk-pad/) fits under both.** For other desk gear, see [best desk accessories](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/best-desk-accessories/). For a refillable A5 notepad in linen with a name on the cover, see the [Martha Brook Signature Burgundy Refillable Notepad](https://stationerytimes.com/guides/martha-brook-signature-burgundy-refillable-notepad/). ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you refill the Grovemade notepad? Yes. Grovemade says it is refillable for a lifetime of note taking and sells Notepad Refills in a 2-pack. ### Is the paper dot grid on both sides? Yes. Grovemade says the paper has a subtle dot grid on both sides and is thick enough to use both, and that dot grid works in any orientation. ### What colors does the Grovemade notepad come in? Grovemade's design article says black, brass and silver. The product page itself names a ceramic-coated aluminum base and a brass base and lists no formal color options. ### Which notepad size should you choose? In our view, Medium for most desks, because at 8 × 5.9 in it is close to A5 in width. Slim at 9 × 3.25 in suits a keyboard front. We haven't handled any of them. ### How many sheets does the notepad hold? Grovemade says the notepad comes with 70 sheets. It doesn't say how many sheets a refill pack holds. ### Does the brass notepad change color? Grovemade says the brass notepad stand will patina gracefully over time.

Grovemade sells a Refillable Metal Sticky Note Stand and 4-pack Sticky Note Refills; that is a separate product we haven't covered. ## Sources - [Grovemade: Refillable Metal Notepad, Dot Grid product page (sizes, base materials, paper weight, cork foot, 70 sheets, refills, origin; read October 31, 2026)](https://grovemade.com/product/notepad/) - [Grovemade journal: Designing the Notepad (dot grid paper, black, brass and silver colors; no date shown; read October 31, 2026)](https://grovemade.com/journal/designing-the-notepad/) - [Grovemade: Desk Pen and Notepad page (read October 31, 2026)](https://grovemade.com/pen-and-notepad/) - [MacTech (from AppleWorld.Today): Grovemade releases two new sizes of its notepads (January 25, 2023; Small and Medium from US$80; aluminum base)](https://www.mactech.com/2023/01/25/grovemade-releases-two-new-sizes-of-its-notepads) - [9to5Toys: New Grovemade Stationery Collection (May 21, 2021; first notepad prices of US$100 black or silver and US$140 brass, as the article lists them)](https://9to5toys.com/2021/05/21/grovemade-stationery-collection/)
