I can hang pictures again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My walls are plaster and lath, so I can't nail anything in them, especially hanging up pictures. Using Command hanging strips really lets me hang up pictures without damaging my walls.
I love how simple they are to use; it took me no time at all.
The black also blends nicely with my frame, so there's no need to worry...

Didn't hold a 24x36 Frame.
I followed the instructions and after less then 1 day poster came off the wall. Now I have a cracked frame and torn poster. Would not recommend.

Horrible product
I bought these a few months back to hang pictures on my walls instead of nail holes. Now 2 pictures have fallen off the wall and I need to get frames fixed and my wooden calendar just fell off wall this morning. Yes I bought the right size for the weight I was hanging and I even added extra strips. I now have to use nails (should have done in first place) and pay to ...

Have a bad batch - picture fell down
I have been using these for a few years now. I just did a set of 2 pictures and one of them came off the wall. All 4 of the wall side are still on the picture, I have pulled down the second picture, and when i did 2 of them as well just came off the picture frame. These weigh 9.6Lbs.

Reliable and strong
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these for 2 purposes while living in a rental for a year. First, I used 4 of them to support an entryway mirror. No damage whatsoever when I moved home last month. Second, I used 4 of them to anchor a cabinet that needed stabilizing. Since there were no small children in the household, I felt confident that ...

Unfortunately within a couple of days any item that I hung that weighed less than 5 lb fell . Fort...

Unpredictable

Then when I pulled the command strips off the wall, it tore a hole in my dry wall. I was trying to avoid wall damage because I rent and it has already cost me more than I wo...

Perfect for hanging large pictured
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had several new paintings and decided to try the Command black large hanging strips. These were perfect for my paintings. Strips were so easy to apply and supported my paintings great. I am very happy with these strips.

Waste of money
I bought instead of putting holes in the wall. Nice concept until I hung a brand new picture, the picture fell down and broke the frame. Now I need to buy a new frame and also out the money for the strips.

Work Well for Wall Decor
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used the hanging strips for many décor items, with considerable success. I appreciate the darker colored strips, as they blend into the color of the frames on a colored wall (rather than the white strips sticking out on a colored wall).

Super Strong
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually bought these to hang up a full-length mirror on my closet door. I bought two packages and used one in each corner. They did an amazing job at holding my mirror up for several years. When I took the mirror down, there were not marks on my closet door, which was stained and varnished. Love this product!

Ruined my Wal
I bought these to hang up a tapestry, maybe 2-3 pounds. I put two sets on the wall and had it hanging for a few days. When I looked at it a few days later I noticed that the paint was coming off under the weight of the tapestry. Props to command for making it strong enough to rip paint off the wall instead of just falling but come on.

Poor quality.
I bought this three days ago and was excited to finally hand my puzzles on the wall. The puzzles were not very heavy, probably around two pounds. I followed all the directions. All was well until about two hours later when puzzle one fell off the wall. Puzzle two wouldn't even stick. Trash.

Black color hides the strips even better!!
Love Command Strips. I recently painted my kitchen and dining room. All holes from the nails originally used to hang the pictures were filled in. I then used Command Strips to rehang all the art. Now, if I want to move pictures around, no more holes to fill. I especially like the black colored strip as the strip now fades into the frame.

Horrible
I recently did a collage of pictures on my stairwell wall. I spent so much time and effort on this project; picking frames, printing photos, and layout the pattern to be level on the wall, etc. I decided to purchase well over 8 packs of 3M "Damage Free Hanging" to hold up to 16 Ibs strips. I placed 4 of these on my larger frames (they weigh a lot less than 16 lbs). All ...

Hassle-free decorating
I bought these strips a few months ago for a round mirror I wanted to hang in my entry way. I knew that hanging this large mirror would be a challenge, so I immediately bought these strips. I put them on mirror and put it on the wall. No measuring, no holes in my wall, and it's perfectly level and flush. Now, I use these strips for EVERYTHING!!
