Product Failure
I have been using these products for family picture frames for about 4 months. They are beginning to fail at about 2 to 3 months. The larger frames have been the first to fail, and break on the floor on impact. None of these frames are over 1 pound...using multiple strips rated for 2.5 pounds or heavier (whatever in store). The smaller 4x6 frames remain attached.
I have identified two failure points. First, the strips coming off the walls. Not an issue for smallest frames, yet. Standard latex walls cleaned before application. Second, detachment from the frames itself, the adhesive side on the frame.
I have even used gorilla glue two-sided heavy duty tape on the frame, and then the Command strip on that tape. That just failed too after 2 months. It peeled off the gorilla tape which remains on the frame.
What I am unable to address if this may be a batch issue. I purchased several packages over a period from different stores. Otherwise I would have provided for help on root cause.
I had hoped to avoid nails in the walls, but there doesn't seem to be an alternative as this product is showing unreliability. For weightless plastic applications, it works. I have used other command products for years, which have mostly worked. For more practical uses on pricier objects, I would take caution and consider standard hooks.

Easy to use
This product is amazing for when you want to put up picture frames without making a hole or damaging the walls and it’s very easy to use and also easy to take down without leaving a mess.

Hanging strips
I did like how they were able to hang my photos in a dorm where I couldn’t use nails. However, nails hold paintings for a longer time.

Time-tested reliability
I have been using 3M Command products for five years now and I will continue to. Great product that lives up its reputation.

Strong hold!
I’ve always loved Command hooks. They are great for places where you don’t want mess up a wall, but they are strong enough to hold most anything.

As advertised

The time to spring for a name brand.
I bought a variation of these from Alidi, who normally makes items that are just as good as the name brands. They couldn't hold up a tea towel I had attached to my wall. I bought these ones and tried again. They have been holding it up well, as well as a canvas painting. I plan to buy more.

Easy to use
I've used Command strips to hang m a many photos and pieces of artwork. Be sure to get the right strip based on the weight of your item.

They ALL fell
I bought these a few weeks ago to hang pictures of my family. We finally have frames that match and We put them up on the walls this morning and within minutes they all fell off the walls. In the last year every single one that I have ever used has now fallen off the wall. Frames have been broken and I'm pretty mad about it.

Don’t believe the hype
For us, this product does not work as advertised. We used for two different objects and neither lasted more than three months, sending the photos crashing to the ground. Then, when we went to remove the adhesive strips, it pulled the paint off the wall. Crappy product.

My favorite nail
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I only use these to hag pictures on my walls, no mess or damage at all. I use them for all sizes and canvas paintings too. I would never go back to a hammer and nail, it is amazing and long lasting.

Removed paint and plaster from the walls.
This is not a damage free product. We have just removed a picture from the wall and it has damaged it in two areas. Pictures include traces of glue used to stick the paint back to the wall. Please can I have an email contact for customer services department.

Removed paint.
I hung up a banner for my daughters birthday party. After the party was over I pulled them from the wall to find they removed the paint.

Ripped the paint right off the wall.
I purchased mine less than a year ago. We decided to paint the walls. When I attempted to remove the strips; they all ripped the paint off the wall.

Terrible
Used these to hang some Christmas decorations as we didn't want to drill holes into our newly decorated walls and as they state that they are safe for use on paint we were happy enough to use them. They were easy enough to apply and held well but when taking them down every one if them stripped chunks of paint off the wall and now we have to repaint these areas. So dissapointed.

Don’t buy this product
I bought these after we painted our kitchen and living room. Didn’t want too put holes in my walls. Everything I have used these on have fallen off my wall. From pictures too simple plastic wreaths. They have damaged my pictures and the furniture they were hanging over. I don’t recommend these.

Not Impressed
I wanted to relocate the hook moments after sticking it to the wall. When I pulled the releasing strip, the tape stripped the paint off the wall

Very poor quality. Disappointing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought these to hang my cork notice board with wooden frame. Although the board is pretty light since it’s made by a cardboard and cork, within a day, it fell off.. Even though I watched their video and followed their instructions carefully, left them loner then it was said before I hanged my board just in case, it didn’t work.. It’s not cheap to buy these and was a complete waste of money. Very disappointed.

Disappointed
My daughter is renting a house and we can only use 3M materials. We decorated the kids room snd the walls are textured and the strips didn’t stay up. It was disappointing. I love the materials and was sad that they didn’t work.

Questioning the durability/longevity
I love command strips and use them everywhere in my home! I'm beginning to question this loyalty. This is the second time something has fallen to the ground while using command strips. My picture frame weighs less than 3 lbs. The adhesive on the strip attached to the wall is now nonexistent. The house is not humid and the living room wall is not near moisture. Not only did I lose money purchasing the strips, I now have a broken frame and damaged base board. Should have just used a nail.

Terrible! Ripped drywall off twice!
We purchased these 4 pound picture hangers to hang 1/2 pound pictures. After following directions twice!, they totally tore up our drywall! How can you advertise these as great working items? Never again!
