These kept my posters up for an entire college year. Now that it has finally come down to removing the posters from my dorm walls I see how much of a lie this product actually is. No damage to posters? How about impossible not to damage posters. Every single poster I have taken down has had some of its back removed or if they were thing magazine posters had at least one corner horribly torn no matter how careful I was to try and remove these tabs. So these are good for posters you don't really care about or for more permanent hanging. Oh and if you're more concerned with your wall like other reviewers, don't worry my dorm walls weren't damaged in any way.

I used these for the first time about 6 months ago hanging a poster up on a painted wall. I just took the poster down and replaced it with another. No damage to or spot on the wall (which we just painted a year or so ago) and with a little careful pulling off from the photo poster, no damage or even spot on the poster either.

I'm impressed. This is the easiest, cheapest and cleanest of all the poster mounts I've used. I haven't used it on thinner poster paper, but on the sturdier Kodak photo paper it makes hanging and changing posters a snap.

We use 3M hooks and adhesive for almost everything. So long as you chose the correct size strip according to the weight you are trying to hold up (a picture versus a hook for car keys) they always hold. The only time it has not worked was when I forgot to clean the surface--and that was obviously my mistake, not the product. And removing them is so easy and doesn't damage the surface if you follow their removal instructions. LOVE these things and I much prefer these strips to using a nail.

These are small strips of double-sided sticky foam with a pull tab at one end. You use them to stick things to a wall, and when you want to remove the thing you pull the tab, which stretches the foam and releases the adhesive. They stick really well, and the adhesive releases without staining or damaging the surfaces involved. I discovered that it is awkward, if you've hung a picture or poster, to reach up underneath the object in order to grab the little tab. I ended up creasing the poster I tested this on, and I think it would be extremely difficult to use with something stiff like a matted print or a picture in a frame. I also had to pull the tab a lot harder and longer than I expected before it would release. It requires patience if you want to remove the adhesive without tearing anything. But _if_ you are patient and dextrous, this item will function as desired.

These are great for hanging posters. It even hung really heavy posters. The only problem we had was when we pulled them off. The ones where we pulled them down just like the instructions said to came off just fine. But, my husband pulled one directly out instead of down and it pulled the paint off the wall. I would definitely buy them again, but you just have to be careful to follow the directions exactly when you pull them off.

A friend recommended me this product since she used command hooks. This product is pretty good. The 1st time I have ever used it I hung up 2 posters in my room and they look soo amazing against the wall. I just love it. The people that complain it ripping up posters are the people who use it on "magazine" posters. Those posters are usually flimsy and yea, will tear up the posters. This is for professional posters. Ones that are professionally made. I did tear up one of my posters, but that was totally my fault since I removed it all wrong.

One suggestion though, these things are very expensive I suggest you use two for each poster. Two on the top corners and tape for the bottom since gravity helps keep the bottom on the wall.

You still need to add tape on the middle though to keep it nice and flat.

You would think this is too expensive and not worth it, well let me tell you, I put up my third poster and used tape for all four corners and let me tell you, it was a nightmare keeping it up, so I finally gave up one day after it completely fell down and used the last two command strips I had on the top corners. Now it's a relief that I never have to worry about it falling anymore.

Well, in general I have liked 3M's Commander series of products. I use them on the backs of many household doors to provide a hook for jackets, robes, etc. So I was happy to try the Poster Strips.

I can't say I am impressed with this product. I used this product to mount a monthly calendar to my office wall. After about 6 months, I went to change the calendar.

3 of 4 strips removed the paint from the wall.

Their product advertising states, "the mounting solution that holds on strongly, comes off cleanly! 3M's patented stretch release technology offers strong holding power and damage-free removal. The innovation - forget about nails, screws, tacks or messy adhesives that damage your walls. Revolutionary Command Adhesive works great on painted surfaces, wood, tile and more. Comes off cleanly leaving no holes, marks, sticky residue or stains."

I supposed that's partly true, it did not leave residue. It also did not leave the paint on the wall.

Sorry, this one is a FAIL.

I've used command strips with hook to hang our Christmas stockings for years and loved them. Daughter needed posted hung and I immediately turned to these strips to help. They couldn't be easier to use and work like a charm!! Hope 3M never stops making these products!

I have been using these for some very small pictures with a small frame and they are working well. I have had them up for 3 months now. I am getting ready to move and I have been taking down the pictures and the walls have no damage. I would recommend for something with very little weight. I have not tested these with anything very large and I probably would not since I am not sure they would work on something larger.

Purchased these to hang some of those paper mache letters (above a door way) that you can find at the craft store. Was afraid that they may not work but they did for my application. Very happy with the purchase. I just left a little bit of the curved portion exposed on the top of the letter to be able to remove it in the future. (Because of the height of the door way no one would every know that tab was there!)
