These worked for me! Oct 17, 2009
By Lorraine Godfrey
I recently held an exhibit for my photography and the space had one large wall that had brick behind it. The owner was very concerned about her walls and wouldn't allow any holes or permanent anchors so I bought these adhesive hooks. I tested one in my home for a few weeks prior to the show to see how well it held. It held fine until the weather changed colder. The wall I tested on was the exterior facing wall, (another reviewer also mentions not using these on exterior facing walls). Otherwise it probably would've held indefinitely. Each frame was 16 x20 with glass and one medium hook held each beautifully. I only needed the pictures up for a few days for the show and they held securely. I also like how easy these were to place. All frames sat exactly in line.
When I took them down they removed cleanly, just as described. It does take effort and was obvious that they were on surprisingly secure but still I would only use these where you absolutely can't drill. Perfect for walls covering brick!
It is very important to read and follow the directions exactly. I used 99% alcohol to prep the wall and let each hook sit overnight before I put any weight on them. That did the trick for me.

 Easy way to put up pictures Jan 01, 2010
By K. Veeraraghavan
I bought a fairly large sign, and was not really sure what to do with. Thanks to these bad boys, I was able to hang it up without the commitment of holes in the wall. I wasn't sure how much the sign weighed so I used two - it's been hanging on them without incident for over a month now.

command picture hanging hooks Sep 14, 2010
By license lady
These work so well! I just moved into a space and didn't want to put holes in the wall, the command hooks did the trick. (Be careful if you need to move them, the first time I did I didn't stretch the backing far enough before lifting and the paint came off the wall.)They really do hold well.

Great Product but expensive S&H costs Jun 04, 2010

Great product! I love it! I love it! I love it! But found that it's much cheaper for me to get it from stores.

 Inconsistent results Aug 30, 2011
By D
I placed two of these picture hangers on a clean wall in a quiet, undisturbed part of my apartment, pressed them hard into the paint for a minute each, and then waited about six hours before hanging up two lightweight frames (each well under 5 lbs) on them. A few hours later, without any provocation, one of the frames comes crashing down, shattering the glass cover.
I took down the still-hanging frame and picture hanger, went back online and bought the waterproof version of these adhesive strips, figuring that although these walls are not subjected to any water or high temperatures/humidity levels, maybe waterproof is a little stronger. A couple days later, with my new strips in hand, I repeated the process: stuck them onto the wall, pressed them hard into the paint, and waited half a day to let things set before carefully rehanging my frames. This time the other (unbroken) frame stays on on the wall for about a day before the adhesive comes loose and the picture hanger slides down to the ground, bringing the frame with it and causing my second piece of glass to crack in the middle as the frame hits the ground.
Fed up, I take the earlier damaged frame off the wall and attempt to gently pull down on the adhesive strip as directed. It rips off a layer of my wall paint about the size of a quarter. So as a result of trying to avoid putting two tiny little holes into my wall I now have two broken picture frames and a missing patch of wall paint. The moral of the story: avoid these like the plague! They are just not reliable - they're either too sticky or not sticky enough, and they can cause more damage to your wall (and whatever you happen to be trying to hang on them) than plain old nails.
