I bought these two months ago or so and it seemed fine until this morning at 3am when I woke up to the horrendous sound of what I thought was a bomb but actually was my beautiful picture frame collapsing to the floor. According to the product this should have been stuck like glue but it failed to do so. I'm extremely dissapointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I used this to hang a small item (less than a pound). It worked for about two years and then the item fell off and with with came the finish off of the wall. Now I am terrified to remove the other items I have fearing I might have the same result

I used this to hang a chalkboard in the kitchen of my apartment. I wanted an easy to use product that did not damage the walls. This product worked perfectly. I as able to install completely in 20-30 minutes (including the time it took to set the strips on the wall). It has been complete for months and no issues. I highly recommend.
I love these things! They are so easy to use. I like these much better then having to line it up and trying to find the right place to put the nail. Plus I'm always one who never likes how I do it the first time so it prevents tons of holes in the wall. Plus if you ever want to redecorate it doesn't leave a ton of holes in the wall! I've never had an issue with it pealing off paint either. I highly recommend these!
I have now purchased this product on 3 separate occasions, hoping each time that perhaps I had just chosen a faulty pack. All 3 times these Strips would stay attached to the wall for about 30 minutes before falling off. The pictures I was hoping to hang with them weigh less than 5 pounds. Each time I followed all instructions completely and got the same result. These Strips are terrible and do not work AT ALL.

I bought these last month and was highly disappointed! I've used the command hooks and love those so I thought I would give these a try. The picture frame I had just bought mind you, fell off right away and shattered and the frame broke as well. To make matters worse I bought the value pack and spent $9.00 at target.

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!!!
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 say press to wall, then remove bottom first, everything peels off. So then, how can I wait and hour if nothing is stuck to the wall. And do they really mean clean my painted walls with alcohol first? Directions are insufficient and more confusing the simpler they try to make it.
