I bought these along with a 2" pouch to use on my perforated white metal plates for hanging kitchen utensils. Much prettier than metal hooks and you'll love the fact you do NOT have to use ugly anchors to hold them to the board. Very sturdy and fits snugly in standard 1/4" holes - as advertised. YES THEY STAY IF YOU DON'T REMOVE THEM! Good product. Will definitely buy them again if I need more.
