Good product but inconsistent

I have to admit that I have a long standing love-hate relationship with this product. I love them when they work, hate them when they don't, and unfortunately they have failed me in the past. I stopped buying them some 10 years ago but when Butterly and 3M offered this opportunity to try these ones out for free, I decided it might be time for a second chance. Since I had to post a review within seven days of receiving the products, I'll only discuss at this time the I stalk action process and final look. As with my other reviews however, I will post an update on 6 months on the blog and in this case, potentially even in a year.

We had a situation last year that ended up with us having to move. It was unarmed and stressful, and we have only started on the final touches of our new place recently. And obviously one of these touches are putting up art.

We don't have anything worth anything in the art world, but every piece we have is made by a friend and mean a lot to us. We used 3M strips some ten years ago to put them up but although we followed instructions to the letter, a few of our pieces fell. We also had damage from the strips when we removed them according to instructions. It could be that we were living in a country with much higher humidity levels at the time, so maybe the strips just don't work as well there. It's been ten years, maybe R&D has helped improve this product. And since we have friends who swear by these strips, we decided to give them another go.

Installation is such a breeze. I love that I don't have to worry about putting holes into the wall (and am hoping that the removal process will be less problematic this time around, too.) We use a level app on our phones; one of us holds the frame while the other holds the level above the frame. This helps us get the frame straight every time. We are caution so we add extra strips per artwork but that has to do with our past experience.

Would I recommend this product? Not yet, but visit the blog and bookmark the review, then come back in six months to see what I have to say?

Gets the job done!

I had the opportunity to try Command Heavyweight Picture Hanging Strips. Let me preface this by saying that the hanging strips work. They're very sturdy and get the job done. The instructions are clear and recommend having a second person to help with the installation of larger frames. I can conquer that two people was better than one, and I likely should have taken that advice from the beginning. Because once those strips are on the wall, they're on! The adhesive isn't just tacky, it's tough. The strips attach to one another like Velcro. So once your strips are in place, you can move the frame up or down, which worked out well for me as my wall placements weren't all 100% accurate. I'm not loving the thickness of the strips though, as you can see the strips at the side of the frame. If your frame is wider than mine, I suggest moving the strips a bit closer to the centre.

Ok hanging strips

I have mixed feelings about these strips. In the case of hanging a canvas painting, one of the strips came off the canvas when taking the painting off the wall to let the strips set. We reapplied, and so far has held. These strips have been in use at my place of work for a few years, and have held up quite well hanging glass photos on wallpaper, however we did have one frame did fall off and break.

It’s just so much better than a hammer and nail

Since becoming a mom, my favorite thing is to hang up all my toddler’s art, and I've been using Command long before I was selected to give my honest review.

With much experience using Command strips, I can say they are a breeze to use and don't cause any damage to my walls.

You just stick them on the wall exactly where you want them, and they can hold up to a whopping 20 lbs. What I love most about them is how easy it is to swap out my toddler's art, thanks to the innovative Velcro strips.

I do a lot of DIY and I'm not shy about using a hammer or drill, but this is so much more ideal. No mess, no holes, and so simple anyone can use them. Plus, they come off the wall easily, so you'd never know they were there.

The possibilities are endless on what you can hang on the wall, and now I'm looking for things in my house to put up!

So much easier than hooks

These strips are super handy and make hanging heavy pictures a breeze.
Love that I just had to attach the tabs and stick.
No holes,no patching or fighting with hooks works for me! Pull a tab and move on.
Wish these had been around a long time ago!

Better than Hammer and Nails!

Command Heavyweight Picture Hanging Strips offer a damage-free way to hang heavy pictures which can often be a challenge. Installation is easy and just requires you to clean the wall surface, stick the strips to the frame, and then press them onto the wall. The strips will click, and that confirms they are locked in place. I used them to hang a heavy mirror which has stayed securely in place without any signs of slipping or detachment. If you need to reposition or take down your pictures, the strips peel off cleanly without leaving any residue or causing damage to the wall. They are a worthwhile investment for protecting your walls and ensuring your pictures stay put.

Simple Mess Free Hanging Solution

I have been wanting to hang up wall light in my son's nursery but didn't have the hardware to put it up. I decided to give 3M Command Heavyweight Picture Hanging Strips a try.

The Strips can hold up to 20lbs and can be used on a variety of surfaces. No tools are required and best of all its damage free hanging. I moved the light a few times before I was satisfied with the placement and there was no residue or damage to the paint or wall. The strips are sturdy and hold up great!

Not a easy as I thought

It was actually a bit more difficult to use than I thought. You do have to get a very specific type of frame. It needs to have enough border for you to fully attach it. It does tell you that it holds 10lb (with 2) and 20lb (with 4), but it's not exactly like a picture frame comes with weight on it all of the time. I had to redo one of them because the frame I had before did not have enough of a border to work. If you do use these, make sure that you bring a strip to the store before picking up your frame.
Over all, I was a bit stressed out about making the frame straight, which I do think is easier to do with a nail in the wall and the hanging string.

They seem secure, but I'm just praying they don't fall off the wall.
