Are the eh actually good at holding frames up? Am looking at the large ones which states it can hold up to 7.2kg weight. Is that really true??? Has anyone used it, and if so how long did it last and the weight of your frames?
I want to put a canvas up which weighs 2.2kj

A framed picture just fell off my kitchen wall last night! It lasted about 6 months and I used a higher weight bearing strip than was strictly needed so not sure what happened there.

Absolutely useless here too, never worked on our walls, complete waste of time.

Mine work with a mirror of around that weight and I am a year in, but buy the original ones, not cheaper copies

It depends on your paint too. They're sticking to the paint, rather than nails that go into the wall. Whoever did the first coat of paint over our plaster didn't do it right and it just peels off so the sticker comes away from the wall with the paint.

Oh good point about the paint - that might be why they didn't work in our house.

What is the right way to do paint? Confused I didn't know there was one! (Not that we did most of the painting here).

We always followed instructions to the letter, even looked up a video of it and used more than necessary, didn't make a difference. They last days sometimes and minutes other times.
