I thought this would be a great addition to my small kitchen to hold my broom and mop. I decided to use the tape that came with the holder instead of screwing it to the wall. I cleaned and dried the spot. I waited an hour to make sure everything was dry before attaching the holder to the wall. I set it up and let it sit for a couple of hours to make sure it was secure before hanging a broom and mop on it. Three days later I walked into the kitchen and fell off the wall. I reattached it to the wall and pressed it for a good 60-90 seconds. Unfortunately I woke up again this week to find that I fell off the wall. I like how durable the holder is, but I'm not a fan of duct tape. Just go upstairs, you can screw it on the wall.
