Good stuff
I used these to hang a large painting in a bedroom. The instructions were clear and concise. I was able to quickly hang the artwork with little effort. They were easy to use and work great. I highly recommend.

Unexpected failure
I bought 3M command products many times. My last application, I used 9 pairs (16 pound, 7.2 kg) to hang an 8 pound speaker. For months it holds firmly. So I repeated this same configuration for the other 8 pound speaker to free up counter space. Within three days, so unexpectedly, the speaker fail and hit the floor without anyone touching or bumping the speaker. How can...

NEVER EVER AGAIN. Can't trust them
Just don't do it. These either don't stick long and suddenly you have items falling off your walls and breaking as they fall, or they do stick, and they DO NOT come off cleanly as advertised. Most either don't pull like they advertise, snap, and take all the paint with them, or they do pull off, looks like it's actually doing the adversitied job, but then you are left w...

Waste of loney
Mine are NOT sticky, so many things have fallen off which are WELL below the weight limit. Woke up to broken pictures and glasses from the falling impact.

Stickiness seemed weak on product that was supposed to hold 20lbs. Sure enough, within 24 hours, the 3 lb valence was on floor.

THEY DO NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have purchased several of the 15 lb and 30 lb picture hanging strips the past 3 years or so. In that time, I have had at least 8 different pictures (i.e., 8" x 10") fall off the walls breaking with glass all over the floor, bookcase, and bed. After they fall, I have strips of paint peeled off the wall in several rooms. THEY STINK! I would not recommend them to anyone ...

I purchased these to hang my 12 lb white board. After following all the instructions and going so far to put 4 straps on, the whiteboard still fell 24 hrs later. The command straps took Paint with them. I'm very upset as a renter in how expensive these were for them to fail pretty immediately.

Horrible product
Horrible! I used these to hang Christmas lights and paper decorations and when I tried to remove them per directions they took drywall and paint off!

Picture Hanging made easy
These velcro hanging strips work great and you can avoid putting holes in the wall. They are sturdy and hold even heavy framed items.

Not worth it, they don't work as described
I purchased these to hang up two pictures that are probably about 6 lb. They did not hold at all for even a few minutes or stick while taking the strips off all but too came off fine. The other two pulled the paint off my walls and I remove them slowly just like it describes. I am not happy with them at all. Do not recommend them.

Quality product
Easy to mount. Durable. Reasonable price. I keep a small supply on hand since I’m ready to go when I purchase something new to mount.

Not very happy with my purchase
I purchased about 6 packages of the 20lb strips and it most definitely did not meet my expectations my mirrors fell in less than 24 hours i am truly disappointed because the mirrors might weigh a max of 4lb i feel it was just a waste of my hard earned cash
I only gave it a 1 because I could not choose the

Easy way to hang wall art
I have used other Command products and found them easy to use and effective. I was quite happy when 3M offered me the chance to receive a Command heavy duty picture product in exchange for my honest review. Living alone, picture hanging has been a challenge for me. Received the product in time to hang a new canvas art piece above my fireplace. Super easy and sturdy. No ...

Great product
This product works great and protects your wall. It will hold the poundage that it says it will. It removes easily and doesn’t leave a tear on the wall if you have to take it off. It is easy to use and the package has four in it.

Worry-free picture hanging to protect your walls
Great product, holds plenty of weight! Never afraid of something falling off the wall with Command strips. The velcro makes them extra strong. Am very pleased with this product and will probably purchase in the future.

Nice item to help with decorating a dorm room
These are great for hanging large bulletin or white boards. They also might be good for hanging large photo collage frames.
3M gave me a sample of this product to evaluate. My opinion of it is my own.

The best picture strips!
I always dread hanging pictures or artwork, but 3M makes it easy with the 20lb picture hanging strips. The directions are easy to understand and installation was a breeze! When it came time to remove , there was no damage to my walls, I would absolutely recommend this product.

Teenager approved for poster hanging
My kids went to an anime convention and got some really cool posters they wanted to hang. 3M to the rescue! These strips were perfect for the iob. They have stay put. My teenagers approved and we will be getting some more in the future.
