CommandMedium Picture Hanging Strips, Damage Free Hanging Picture Hangers, No Tools Wall Hanging Strips for Living Spaces, 6 White Adhesive Strip Pairs

UPDATE: 6/3/16Well, it worked great.....until it didn't! Suddenly, in April, the mail rack which was holding solidly on the wall just decided to drop to the floor without warning. So, these strips will hold 2 lbs of weight without a problem for about 4 months before it gives.(Note- I live in a high humidity area) It is a temporary fix. I'll either have to apply new strips or actually drill screws into the studs after all.ORIGINAL REVIEW 1/1/16To tell you the truth, I was very apprehensive about how just well this product would actually perform. I have several items I want to put up on my walls but don't want the hassle/damage of drilling holes and placing screws in my drywall or the worry of missing wall studs or disturbing hidden electrical wires. After reading a ton of positive reviews, I decided to give these Command picture hanging strips a shot. I love Command hooks so this looked promising. All I can say is WOW! I can't believe how solidly these strips hold the 2 lb metal mail/key rack on the wall. I expected, at best, there would be some wobble/movement when touched or lightly pushed, but no, it is solidly in place on the wall. And, keep in mind that I only used 2 sets cut in half lengthwise (a half strip placed on each of the 4 corners of the rack). If the item were much heavier, I would have used full strips to assure adequate hold strength. But I do believe 2 full strip sets could easily hold 4 lbs or more. I have to confess, I skipped the wall prep step as well as the "place back strip only on wall for an hour to allow for best adhesion" step. Still, it appears to be solidly anchored. I'll be monitoring over the next week to see if I encounter any long term problems with it falling off the wall but given the solid hold it now has, I really don't expect any problems. I now also plan to use these strips to put up a cork/dry erase message board in my kitchen next week. I would caution that you need to be careful to place the pull tabs on the strips in as an accessible position as possible. If I were to have to remove the strips in the future, I would probably have to carefully pry with a butter knife between the two velcro strips on each corner before trying to remove the rack/the strips from the wall since I hid the pull tabs behind instead of placing below the edges of the rack (for aesthetics) which would have given a ready access to the removal tabs. Bye bye screws and drill holes. These couldn't be easier to use. I'm sold on these.

I love these, they really work. I was skeptical at first, but had no choice but to try them as I was destroying my plaster walls trying to hang pictures. They really are easy to use, really do hold the picture and you really can reposition the picture w/in the first few minutes after hanging it w/o peeling the paint off the wall. Everything is as advertised. You also really can remove the picture days/weeks/months later - it's like velcro where 1/2 the velcro will stay on your wall and 1/2 on your picture so you can replace the photo or whatever you need to do and re-hang it. I know they come in small, medium and large, but I just use the medium for everything.**** Update1: I have had pictures fall off the wall after a month or 2, but I still use these because it's better than putting a hole in your wall. In my case I would just have blank walls because it's impossible to get a nail into them. Also, I used these to mount some small decorative pieces (e.g. a butterfly, a small mirror) that have a hook for my 3 year old daughter to hang her stuff up and she tends to pull them off the wall, but it's OK because the velcro just separates and I can just mount it again really easily - no spare parts necessary. So I would say they are kid-proof, too, versus using nails - as long as the object itself is kidproof.**** Update2: I took a real leap of faith and used these to secure a shelf over my son's door. I used 2 strips just to be safe and it's a really small decorative shelf with just his baby shoes on it. Hasn't come down yet! But the same 8 x 10 frame that came down the first time has come down again - there is a stand on the back of the frame that keeps it from lying flat and adhering to the wall on all sides.

Command medium Picture-Hanging Strips are AMAZING. It has instructions that are easy to follow on the package, and the application steps are fairly simple. The amount of time necessary for the entire process is a few hours including the drying, but takes minimal time and effort to complete the entire process. The adhesion is very good, but not visible. The strips are very durable, and can hold fairly heavy pictures. My pictures are successfully being hung securely onto the wall and there is zero damage to my walls so far. This product is very unique, and there are no other products like this one. If you want to hang up a picture on your wall, this would be the best option because it does not damage your walls, but still gets the work done. This item is also very affordable. I would definitely recommend this product if you ever want to hang something with no damage with a good price.

These strips work surprisingly well and have held up my pictures for more than two years. I have not had a single picture fall yet and the best part is that unlike hanging a picture with a nail or screw, this keeps pictures from tilting so they stay straight. Cheap and effective is always a great combination in my book. Perfect for my situation of apartment living. Less fuss for when I move out.
