I use them on a mirror over my fireplace to hang seasonal wreaths.  On my kitchen window with a Christmas wreath. Use on walls, tile, wallpaper and they have always worked.

Removing the hooks:  be careful to slowly pull down the little tab.

If you don’t, you will tear and remove the top layer of your drywall.

@CelticCrafter  This is my fear and would be a HUGE mess if the wreath fell, it would break some things as it went down.

The ones I used in the motor home didn’t stay up very long but then there’s quite a bit of vibration when going down the road .

They're good for lightweight items. The package tells the maximum weight the hook will hold and it seems none of them are designed for heavier things. Be sure and let the hook adhere to the surface for the time specified on the package before hanging anything on it. Otherwise, the hook and whatever is hanging on it might fall. I find them occasionally useful but don't much like the look of them. My walls are plaster so nails are a real challenge. When I had drywall, I tended to use hangers and nails, as the holes are easily patched and touched up.

I love using them. I like to be able to change my mind about where to hang things without committing to pounding holes everywhere.

I do take care to avoid using them in situations where the hanging item is precious and non-sturdy, because it could fall. And I take care that any item falling can't harm anything precious beneath it either. Because it could fall. Generally that doesn't happen, but it happens just often enough, and unexpectedly, to use some caution.

I use them on my shower walls and in my RV.  I have pictures handing in my kitchen and dining room and used the ome that are made to hold frames.

Some have been up for years and I have never had one fall off or damage a wall.

i recommend them...go for it!

Command strips are one of those rare products that actually do what the ads say they will do.  Use them with confidence.

@Mom2Dogs I've used them for at least 10 years and LOVE them.

@Mom2Dogs I'm using them to hang a wall quilt. If you want to remove them, the trick is to pull the strip down SLOWLY and you won't have a problem.

There are new ones I saw in a commercial that can be moved around if you don't like the place you put it - and they have a little hanging hook on them.
