I chose this product because where I'm living at does not allow nails in the walls. We are only allowed thumb tacs. After seeing a commercial and reading a few reviews I decided to use this product to hang two different pictures. After reading AND following the instructions, I felt that I would've been better off hammering nails into the wall. Not only was it more of a pain to align the pictures to the adhesive on the wall but my pictures would only stay up for short periods of time. I came home a couple different times to my pictures not all my walls. Luckily, I hung the pictures in locations where they would only have a short drop such as above a desk or bed. It seemed that this would happen about every three weeks or so. Now that I am moving, I had to remove the frames and the adhesive attached to the walls. Most of the strips came off clean, without damaging the paint. One strip took a small piece of paint with it. But then the last strip, no matter how slow and how carefully I tried, the paint was still lifting with the adhesive strip. I am very disappointed in the overall product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are very sorry to see this as we would not expect paint removal. Understanding that this is a rental and you do not know the history of the walls our guess is this was paint over paint with no primer to anchor the coating correctly which is why the damage was caused. Either way for any damages we would advise customers to call our team at 1.800.934.7355 M-F 8am-5pm CT. Please know we will be sending you a direct e-mail offering further assistance. Thanks for your review, and we'll be in touch to assist.
Once again so disappointed in a 3m product and once again it has done damage to my house. my first problem was with the scotch blue painters tape taking the paint off my wall.. and now your command strips did the same thing. And before you go and try to blame me, I read the instructions and did step by step what they said to do and the product I hung was well within the weight limit. Do not buy these "no damage" strips, I would rather have a small hole in the wall from a nail then any of these 3 marks...

When I moved in a new place that the landlord wouldn't allow nails to hang pictures etc I had to try something new even with my very large home interior pictures. I used 4-6 strips on each picture (depending on the size of the pictures) and was very pleased with how well they held up! I wasn't sure at first but I've been using command products ever since!
I bought these to hang picture frames in a collage.. I was weary of using this product, concerned that it wouldn't hold.. I went ahead and tried them out because I wanted the frames to stay straight, hate when pictures end up crooked over time. I made sure I bought the strips for the frame sizes and off I went. Well to my disappointment what I was afraid would happen, did! The frames started falling of the wall, shattering on the ground.. I quickly started removing frames that were still attached, these too were about ready to fall! I lost a total of 5 frames, I was very disappointed! Luckily no one was in the room while this happened. I will never use these again, sticking with the old fashion ways and using nails/screws to hang anything in the future.. To top it off these strips are pretty expensive!

I used them to hold up a bulletin board and they worked great and held the weight as promised. However when I went to remove the bulletin board the velcro didn't release and it tore the paint and texture off the wall making repair and repaint necessary.

I purchased command strips to mount some art/decor at a house that was up for sale but the family had moved out and taken their decor with them. The walls were repaired and freshly repainted. I purchased some framed art and didn't want it up permanently, to be determined by buyer(s). Command strips held even the heavier pieces with no damage to art or walls!
I actually weighed my picture and it was used for the correct weighted command wall mount. I followed the instructions to the "T" and my beautiful picture still fell and broke. Now I need a replacement picture frame. I am now weary of continuing to use this product.

I use the Command Strips to hang foam walls in are haunted house. the best thing about them is that they can be reused on items where they don't need to be removed. It doesn't matter what side you use.
