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.

Works great!!!!
I have used these for over 7 months now on lighpt icture frames to heavy mirrors and they are awesome. I figure they need changed out every year or so but they don't leave holes so if I move it will be nice still.

Doesn't hold frame well at all!
I bought large command strips to hang a 24x36 framed poster for my boyfriend. There is no glass so it only weighs about 7lbs. We used all 4 stripes, and according to the package it should hold up to 16lbs. After 3 months of buying the command strips we heard a loud noise in the middle of the night; the frame had fallen and broke. I had to buy a new frame, again without ...

Unable to remove.
I sold my house and moved into an apartment.. The management did not want a lot of nails in the walls sobI purchased all and only Command products to hang all my pictures, shelves and decorations. When I went to remove a small picture, it ripped the drywall/paint. I hung over 46 pictures etc., I can only imagine what damage I will be responsible to pay for. I am very...

Disappointed
I bought a value pack of the large strips to hang a large, but light weight canvas on my wall. I used a total of 10 sets. Worked well for five days, then fell during the night. I guess I will need to use an anchor and screw to rehang because these evidently don't work as well as the other command products

We're sorry to hear of your experience and we'd better like to understand what may have happened. Please call 1.800.934.7355 M-F 8am-5pm CT so we can do so. If our picture hanging strips are being applied to canvas material that is wrapped around the frame it will dry out over time due to the material being porous. We do offer a line of canvas picture hangers that should meet your needs. You can see them at www.command.com under "picture hanging" and we look forward to hearing from you.

Not damage free
I followed the steps.
When I use rubbing alcohol on my wall, it removes some paint. Also it doesn't hold the frame up. I know have a ripped spot on my wall.
DO NOT GET, OR TRUST THIS PRODUCT!!!!

They work well!
I'd tried the command hooks and had expensive framed pictures go crashing to the floor more than once. But the command strips haven't failed me yet.

HORRIBLE. don't buy.
I bought these two months ago or so and it seemed fine until this morning at 3am when I woke up to the horrendous sound of what I thought was a bomb but actually was my beautiful picture frame collapsing to the floor. According to the product this should have been stuck like glue but it failed to do so. I'm extremely dissapointed.

If you don't have a scale get one
This product works fantastic. What I have learned over the years with command strips is FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS...and of course DON'T think YOU are a SCALE!!!
When this is followed they NEVER come down

Works for my framless mirror
I have a standard college dorm room mirror with dimensions 48 x 12 7.5lbs and these strips seem to hold it well so far. Follow the directions and make sure to place the second set of strips 2/3rd down.

I used this to hang a small item (less than a pound). It worked for about two years and then the item fell off and with with came the finish off of the wall. Now I am terrified to remove the other items I have fearing I might have the same result

Used to hange a chalkboard
I used this to hang a chalkboard in the kitchen of my apartment. I wanted an easy to use product that did not damage the walls. This product worked perfectly. I as able to install completely in 20-30 minutes (including the time it took to set the strips on the wall). It has been complete for months and no issues. I highly recommend.

Amazing!
I love these things! They are so easy to use. I like these much better then having to line it up and trying to find the right place to put the nail. Plus I'm always one who never likes how I do it the first time so it prevents tons of holes in the wall. Plus if you ever want to redecorate it doesn't leave a ton of holes in the wall! I've never had an issue with it peali...

Extremely Unsatisfied
I have now purchased this product on 3 separate occasions, hoping each time that perhaps I had just chosen a faulty pack. All 3 times these Strips would stay attached to the wall for about 30 minutes before falling off. The pictures I was hoping to hang with them weigh less than 5 pounds. Each time I followed all instructions completely and got the same result. These St...

Time wears it down
The product works okay for a little while. And then you notice all your pictures and stuff falling off the walls. As long as you don't mind your picture glasses possibly breaking it's okay

highly unsatisfied.
I bought these last month and was highly disappointed! I've used the command hooks and love those so I thought I would give these a try. The picture frame I had just bought mind you, fell off right away and shattered and the frame broke as well. To make matters worse I bought the value pack and spent $9.00 at target.
