Review on πŸ“Έ Command Picture Hanging Strips: Effortless, Easy-to-Open Packaging, 16 Pairs – 8 Medium, 8 Large by Mike Goodwin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Make sure the Velcro CLOSES!

I made a whole gallery wall out of the white Command Strips I've had to hang up pictures with Velcro. When I ran out of strips I still had a few pictures left to hang, so I ordered these black ones to finish my project. They seemed more durable than the ones I'd used before and applied just as easily. But three mornings in a row I went downstairs to find the fallen photos, always just these new hanging strips. I finally figured out that you have to apply your full body weight to each edge until you hear an audible "crunch/click". Fasten this velcro together. (The same pressure I've used on other Command brand tapes will last them a few hours, so make sure you can hear the jam!) Once I figured out this trick I had no more dropped frames and even hung heavy on shadow box no problem.

Pros
  • Glue, sealant and lubricant
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
