Hi, it could be just me, but I have little idea what a "desk pad" is. I thought at first it meant a pad containing lots of sheets of paper. Google image search seemed inconclusive (lots of pictures but I still wasn't sure of the purpose of this item), then at goo dictionary I find "desk pad" explained as "a sheet of plastic (placed under a sheet of paper when one is writing)", which clarifies things a lot. You may want to consider explaining it futher here too..
