  • Smooth-writing gel pens

Muji earns strong reviews as a minimalist one‑stop shop that works well for stationery, storage, and home basics—its 0.36–0.5 gel pens, notebooks, diffusers, and modular organizers draw consistent praise for smooth performance, thoughtful design, and longevity. Reviews also flag drawbacks: clothing can fit boxy or feel mid‑quality, some items (especially certain home goods) feel overpriced, pens may smudge or skip, and online selection/UX lags, making in‑store experiences distinctly better.

  • My go-to shop for fine tip pens & notebooks for work. I always enjoy browsing their stores & their website is also easy to use.

  • I LOVE THEIR CAPPED GEL PENS SO MUCH AND THEY ARE THE ONLY PENS ILL EVER USE PRETTY MUCH OR THEIR CLICK GEL PENS BUT REGARDLESS, THEIR PENS ARE ELITE!!! i have personally converted several friends into using muji pens and everyone loves these

  • I use the Muji pens in my Moleskine journal every day and they are my favorite pens ever.

  • Best writing supplies out there! I am a complete stationery nerd and Muji has the best selection when it comes to pens and out writing utensils!

  • They are what makes my handwriting perfect. idk it’s just a perfect combination of a good shape good flow

  • the muji pens are the best pens for lefties. they don't smudge and look very clean and write nicely. i love them and the packaging, and always have one on hand.

  • Muji is a stationary enthusiast's dream. I love their 0.38 pens, they come in an abundance of colors. Their notebooks are also great, the paper is butter-smooth. The pens & notebooks instantly elevate my journaling experience! Not to mention they're also really well-priced. I've used them all throughout college and stocked up every chance I visit their store!

  • Muni makes hands down the best stationary products. I love their notebooks and pencil holders and pens. I have exclusively used Muji 0.38 pens and they are wonderful to write with. Very smooth and they do not smudge easily. They also come in many different colors which is great for notebooking. The only downside is some of their stationary products and home goods can get pricey but it is definitely worth the aesthetic.

  • Forget logos and screaming colors. Muji's beauty lies in its stark minimalism. Clean lines, muted tones, and a focus on the inherent function of each object create a visual serenity that resonates deep within. It's the antithesis of consumerist bombast, a breath of fresh air in a world drowning in visual noise.

  • Love the no-frills and practicality of their products as well as their clothing range! Whenever in town, we'll visit them to pickup either some snacks/food items or replenish our stash at home.

  • We found Muji to be a solid pick for essentials. Their stationery and furniture products in particular are outstanding. We love their in-store customization stations for their notebooks in particular, and appreciate the minimalist aesthetic. We tried their suitcases too, though it was not sturdy enough for our needs. Overall, we think that Muji has a wide range of high-quality goods that fans of a minimalist, Japanese aesthetic will surely appreciate.

  • I have been a fan of Muji for many years. I love the clean and simple design of their products, and I find that their quality is excellent. I have purchased a variety of Muji products, including stationery, home goods, and clothing. I have been very happy with all of my purchases. I would highly recommend Muji to anyone looking for high-quality products at affordable prices. They are a great brand for people who want to organize their lives, care for their style, and create a minimalist home.

  • Muji's clothing uses premium fabrics and is very sensible. I enjoy that they use 100% cotton on many clothing items, instead of polyester blends that are less breathable.

  • I visited Muji over 100 times, and I must say each and every visit was a wonderful experience. If you love minimalistic home decor and office supplies, you will fall in love with this store. It's like IKEA and Daiso had a love child and birthed Muji. The store has a very calm and serene atmosphere, and the products are beautifully displayed. Apart from the amazing home decor and office supplies, Muji also has an incredibly luxurious collection of clothing that is hard to find anywhere else. The quality of the clothing is top-notch, and the designs are simple yet elegant. Overall, Muji is a store that I would highly recommend to anyone who loves sleek and minimalistic designs. The staff is helpful and friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality of the products. If you haven't visited Muji yet, you're missing out on a wonderful shopping experience.

  • I’ve been using Muji stationary since college and have not found better quality notebooks or pens for the price! I used the plain sketchbooks in art school and recommend the gel pens to everyone!

  • Great for not just stationery. Their beauty products are simple and effective as well! I love their 100% cotton and wool clothing pieces.

  • I will never use anything other than Muji pens. they are truly the best pens ever. No smudging, they last long, and come in many colors. I just wish there was still a Muji store in CA so I could stock up.
