I followed the directions exactly! It wasn't rocket science after all and I always read everything prior to use (it's the military in me.) upon removal, they not only removed my paint, but my drywall as well! I'm very upset, and my husband will be furious when he gets home. This is going cost more than the strips to fix and it's a new house.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I've been using these strip for years and have them in most rooms. I've only had one experience where they peeled the paint, but it was on a shiny surface so the paint didn't really stand a chance.
I put up several wall hangings about 2 years ago. They have been slowly falling off the walls. We do have a rough surface (sandy texture) so I guess that's wht they don't stick permanently. I would not recommend Command strips for any texture except smooth. I really wanted all my walls nail free-- I was really disappounted to find I will have to use nails.
