  • 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.

  • i stockpile all the pens from muji. they write so smooth and deliciously. hands down my favorite pens out there

  • Muji is such a consistent store with a great variety of products that are really useful especially when going to college or moving into a new place. I always really like their pens and notebooks that you can stamp with designs. They do have a lot of plastic products so the quality can't really pass a certain threshold and I think the products are slightly expensive for what they are.

  • I love Muji for some things but not for everything. I've always gone to a store and probably wouldn't order online since some products seem worth it but not all of them. Muji is on the pricier side, but I've found it's worth it for some of the larger closet storage containers. The closet storage has been a gem for me though, as someone who doesn't have a fancy closet. I haven't been particularly compelled by anything else, and was never very impressed by the clothes or other product categories I saw in store.

  • My favorite office supplies. My old boss would buy all of our drawing tools from Muji. I always keep the rulers, scissors, and tape measures in my bag and the notebooks are great. I've bought the travel pillow which I am a huge fan of. It is a tube that will clip around your neck but can also be straightened out which makes it more usable. Its all thoughtfully designed and it looks nice which adds to the function of all the products.

  • Muji always delivers products that are good bang for your buck, consistent quality, and simple and clean-looking. I’ve purchased home storage, umbrellas, and snacks from them and never been disappointed.

  • I love Muji. I wish I could live he Muji lifestyle. All of my office supplies (pens, notebooks, etc.) are Muji. The prices are great and the quality is high. I used to have one by my office and it was a great source of snacks as well. I bet the stores in Japan are amazing. Sadly, the rest of my family doesn't share the love by they tolerate me.

  • I love Muji. I was a convert initially decades back in London and can always find something irresistible there. Great value, good quality and interesting styles bringing a very modern feel.

  • Muji pens are pure writing bliss! Smooth, reliable, and sleek in design. They turn everyday notes into a pleasure. Elevate your writing game with these must-have pens. 🖊️📝

  • Long time MUJI fan. I use their pens and journals, love their linen clothing, and buy all my tshirts from them. the quality is always high and i appreciate the clean design and simplicity.

  • This review is specifically for the menswear at Muji. Very affordable, high quality basics! Particularly a fan of their stretch denim at this price point

  • I LOVE THIS BRAND. I have so many clothing pieces from them because it's such high quality at normal prices. The design is very Japandi and very easy to mix in with other clothes. Interesting enough I have not bought any of their infamous stationery or accessories.

  • Love their stationary, cannot speak to their other goods. I have been ordering their .38 pens online for 10+ years now, and their journals/field notebooks last well even after you put them through a lot of use. Super simple offerings but they do them very well. Pens write very smooth and don't smear, just order through their website and not a 3rd party.

  • Amazing affordable home goods. I've gotten plastic products and clothing from Muji, and have been impressed by the quality of both.

  • Ride or die brand. My go-to from pens to organizational things to clothes. The linen clothes are well worth their price.

  • Minimalist me has a love affair with Muji! Really helps me get in touch with my inner Marie Kondo. I love the storage solutions in particular and the beautiful tableware. Everything is chic, and very Insta friendly, with reasonable prices and really good quality.

  • If you’ve got ocd like me and fantasize about living in a society with order this place is going to be like heroine. Everyone wants everything in them and it feels like you had a nice therapy sesh when you leave.

  • I'm a big fan of Muji because it has such a great selection of items! They've got everything from affordable clothing to awesome kitchenwares. And let's not forget about that special charm their Japanese aesthetic brings to the store. It's definitely one of my go-to places for all things stylish and practical!

  • Have been using Muji's pens and other stationary for sooo long. They just work, work for long, and bring lots of small joy moments.
