I've bought 24 of these bars.
I use the bars to display my clients progress with weight loss (ribbon attached to a name tag with beads strung on it representing the pounds lost) inches(represented by ribbon attached to a name tag in total inches lost). The product included to put them on a wall can't be removed without tearing up the wall. I use the Command small picture hanging strips. These are ea...

Cork is great, the adhesive is terrible and damaging
The cork and the build of the product is fine. However, I purchased five of these and every single one of them fell off the wall within a month (nothing heavier than a poster was attached) leaving an adhesive tape residue behind that peeled the paint off the wall when I attempted to remove it. If you purchase this I recommend you do not use the supplied wall strips but ...

Horrible!
We bought three of these for our new office. Within a month the adhesive started wearing off on all three. One tore the wall, the other bubbled the wall, and the other, I had to peel the adhesive off the wall so I could reattach something else. Don't buy these - EVER.

Great for Organizing and Keeping Walls Hole Free
While reorganizing our workroom, these allowed a great flow of wall posters and information; they were easy to install and soft cork helps push pins work with ease.

Quartet Cork Bar, Aluminum Frame
It works for what we need. The only reason I did not put 5 stars, was because the ends were unfinished. I know this is so that multiples can be hung together in a line, but there should be an option for plastic caps to snap on the end, so that they have a more finished look, if only one is being used (we used ours vertically, so the caps would have been perfect.)

Poor design
I ignored the reviews and ended up throwing away the product. Replaced it with a soft piece of pine from the scrap pile.

Does the job!
These little cork bars do the job for the lightweight papers my daughter needed to hang on them, in her desk area for virtual college classes, now that she has not gone to campus. They were what she was looking for. :)

Doesn't hold anything
The cork is not deep enough to hold a piece of paper on a tack. Returning.

Quartet I Cork Bar, Aluminum Frame
Unfortunately, this product did not work out for me for 2 reasons: the adhesive that was provided with the product did not adhere to my wall (which is painted sheetrock), and, the cork thickness is very thin so you can't stick a push-pin in all the way. Now, I have to find a way to adhere it or hang it to the wall. So, right now, I am not using it.

It was overpriced and not made well enough. The cork material is not thick enough to even put a push pin through it. Not worth the price.

TOO TOO Expensive!!! TOO MUCH for my Teacher's Salary!
Please understand that I feel this product is very useful. However, it is OVERPRICED!!. I can't afford to purchase it again. Instead I'll be headed to my local hardware store for a DIY project. PLEASE LOWER THE PRICE.

Very thin cork
The cork is much thinner than I expected. The pins won't even go in all the way without begin stopped by the aluminum that backs it. As a result, if there's much at at all in the way of outward or downward pressure, the pin pops right out. If the cork was about 1/8 inch or so thicker, this would have been a 5 star item.

Cork board strip
I love the narrow bar that holds just about Everything straight across the bar but I find that the push pins hit the metal strip of the bar. It would have been nice if The cork was A little thicker. It works well to hold multiple student book reports. And the strip is not an eye sore like a loaded up cork board.

Poor Adhesive
Although it looks nice and the length was perfect, we're still unable to put it up on the wall because it keeps falling. Adhesive on back is not strong. Would have been better if you had the option to secure it with screws.

Poor packaging
I bought three of these and I just opened them and the end had come out of one of them. As a result the bar and tacks were not inside. The three were wrapped together but not on the ends. The two I received work great so far.
