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.

I Hate Holes in the Wall
I needed something that would hang a 32 sq ft. board on the wall that I use for a dry erase board without the ugly sight of holes in the wall whenever I took the board down. I am in love with the picture hanging command strips. I love the flexibility that the strip gives you because you can snap and unsnap the strips. And the strength of the strips are incredible. I am ...

Holds super strong!
I bought a large value pack over a year ago and wasn't 100% sure if the quality would still be good after over a year. First I actually used one strip to adhere a (smallish) power strip underneath my office desk. It has held that power strip upside down for over sixth months! It hasn't fallen once!

Easy and great hold.
Used to hand vanity mirror with wood frame. Was easy to do and is hanging tight!!! Don't know about removal hopefully will be several years before it needs to be changed.

light glue
We bought these hanging strips for our calendars and they were not able to hold them up. The hanging strips say it would hold up to 15 lbs but it did not. Even if you put 4 on the frame it will not hold. Two calendars fell off after 1 or days of sticking them to the wall. When we went to touch that glue side of the strip there was hardly any glue on it. This would exp...

Work Awesome!!
I have been using these on all my pictures, canvases, even big heavy pictures. I use way more than what is recommended just to make sure they dont fall down. On my really heavy wood picture I used 8 of the heavy ones. So far everything has lasted and stayed on the wall!!!

Fist success, then failure
My first try was a great success. Thereafter, failure and waste of money. Biggest complaint is the directions on the back of package. If I can read the microscopic font 0 with my glasses on, they keep referring to "remove" red strips or green strips. My purchases never have those designated colors. Next, I follow directions but somewhere between step 4 and 5 when they s...

Hangers for cork board
I used 2 of these hanging strips to hang a cork board that I keep near my phone. I wanted to use something so I didn't have to pound nails into my walls this did the trick.

Sturdy
I used these strips to hang a large old wood picture frame and it been holding very well for over 4 months now. At first the wall strips did detach onto the frame strips but I repeated the steps, holding the frame for 60 seconds and removed the frame leaving the strips on the wall for 1 hr, and the heavy bulky picture frame has been holding up well.

Command Large Picture Hanging Strips Bl
I like these strips very much they wee very easy to use and very sturdy as well. You cannot even see them when they are attached to the back of an art piece they wee are also very easy to take off and reuse again. This is a very good product if you have some semi-heavy things to hang on the wall but don't want to drive a nail into the wall. I liked the price and felt th...

use nails
Sorry I can't recommend this product. I hung 4 photos and all 4 of them fell down. I used the extra large size even though the pieces were not heavy. I don't believe it was my paint on the wall that made them fall as it is a flat finish.

pictures keep falling off wall.
I just bought these to hang several pictures. I bought eight packages which should hang at least 32 picutres. I am using two strips on either side of a 20x10 frame. The first picture I tried to hang the strips stuck to the frame but would not stick to wall. I will admit that I only cleaned the wall with a wet cloth. My fault. Then I cleaned the wall with 91% isopropyl a...
