[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Command Strips work wonderfully when the instructions are followed. I used them carelessly and didn’t clean the wall and the item fell and removed paint. I cleaned the wall with a household cleaner and the item fell. I clean the wall with rubbing alcohol and allowed it to dry and they have worked better than advertised.
As a college student if I wish to decorate at all I am forced to use command strips. Considering my present reputation for having the "Martha Stewart" dorm, decorating is a must.
I have used a variety of products, and have found them hit or miss at best. Let me elaborate. Last year, I bought strips rated up to 6lb. I hung a banner (about 2lb), a stretched canvas (about 6lb) and a wall mirror ( about 10lb). They were great, for the first two days. By the third day, all of the previously mentioned items fell, and the mirror was shattered across my dorm floor. Thanks for the seven years bad luck to start my college career. But after the incident I bought the 12lb strips, and used excessive amounts to finally rehang everything but the now broken mirror.
This year I didn't play around, I bought 12lb strips or better. Today has me fit to be tied. My wall tapestry is hanging perfectly with 8 of the poster strips (yay). My banner, canvas, and picture however (between 2lbs-6lbs) are a far different story. The canvas can still not be hung with four 12lb strips. I've determined that it is a lost cause and I'd spend less putting a nail into my dorm's wall. The banner will not stay up even with four 12lb strips, which is a disappointment as it ties the room together. and The picture, well it hung, but when I decided to move it, the strips ripped the frame apart.
So yes, for certain things and when the sun, moon, and all the planets align, command strips are great. However, the rest of the time I have found them a horrible disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Used these to mount a Leap Motion controller to my HTC Vive headset. Holds strong after pulling it off the headset and clicking it back into place numerous times. Used the remaining two strips to hold two circuit boards together while providing some separation with the thickness of the strips.
Sadly it pulled large chunks of paint off the wall in the process of peeling the picture off and up as per the instructions for fixing. Could just be the old age and type of paint on the kitchen wall, but disappointing result as I have had to repaint the damaged bit of wall.

Spent over $150 on Command Strips to decorate my dorm within the first week all of my pictures came crashing down and shattered now my dorm is completely empty and I could've spent that money else where. Did everything the instructions said and still NOTHING worked... Completely useless product. Would NEVER recommend this product to anyone

Used these to hang a beatiful photograph in an expensive frame. I wanted to be extra careful with the piece and used 4 pairs of large command strips to hold up a 3lb piece. Unfortunately the all failed and the picture came crashing down, destroying the frame.
Such a huge and expensive mistake to use this product.

Tried to hang a dry erase board that weighs 9.70# and it held for a day.The package says they hold 16# maybe time to redo the weight test. At the cost of the strips might be better just to use nails and putty later.

I'm really happy with this product. Make sure you dust and clean the wall before hand for it to work well. I'd love to see Command create another one which holds more weight. They're just a bit pricey I find.
