Staples RY26 Vertical Wall Calendar 15x22, Gray

This wall calendar is a great at-a-glance way for the whole family to see who needs to go where and what's going on with everybody. We hung it on the wall leading out to our car with a pen on a string so everyone can update it as they rush out the door. There are lots of lines for every day, so multiple events can easily be shared. We've had it for six months now, and it gets updated at least once a week. The only downside is it does get a little worn as the year goes on. January and February looked nice, but by now the edges are a bit frayed and the corners show some wear. It doesn't affect how it functions at all, just how it looks. We keep it in a spot where guests don't see it, so that works fine for us.

Great layout and size for a wall calendar. It's big enough to write multiple things per day but small enough that I can read my writing from my desk. Each day has about 10 lines, which is more than enough for the two to three items I typically jot down for major events, social events, medical appointments, or anything my family needs to know about. I really like how each day shows the number of days into the year and the number of days remaining. There's also a small full-year calendar at the bottom along with space for additional notes. The durability has been solid with no wear and tear after a little over six months of use. Flipping between months is easy. I do have to take it off the hook to completely flip to the next month, but the coils make it a smooth transition with no tearing. If I just want to peek at the previous page, I can lift it up while it's still on the wall. One thing to keep in mind: use a regular pen. The paper isn't thick enough for a Sharpie or similar marker, which might bleed through to the next page.

Nice size for writing in and easy to use, but be aware the paper creases easily if you take it off the wall. My family has been using this calendar daily since the beginning of the year to track activities, special events, and holidays, and the writing surface and print quality are still the same as the day we started. The paper is typical computer paper quality, which is fine for everyday use but means it can bend or crease easily during storage. I actually prefer this to a digital calendar because it's so easy to write on, and my kids really enjoy using it to practice their handwriting. One thing to note: hardware to hang the calendar is not included.

This is a solid wall calendar with great visibility and generous writing space. The larger format means you can either fit more notes per date at normal handwriting size or write bigger and still read it from across the room. I prefer it over digital calendars because it's always visible and has a more tactile feel. I've had it for many months now with no durability issues, and there's nothing about the design I would change. It hangs in my office and I use it daily.
