Not what I expected
The colors of these papers are pretty, though not exactly what I expected after viewing them online. The reason I don't recommend this stack, though, is that the mats need to be cut before you can use them. It's not a matter of "instantly" matting anything. I generally cut my own mats; I only use mat stacks when I'm pressed for time, and if I have to begin by pre-trimming a white edge from the paper (the size of which is not well defined - also frustrating), the quick project instantly becomes more involved. It's a small detail, but frustrated me with this product - in stark contrast to the DCWV mat stacks, which are exactly pre-cut.
