Command Large Picture Hanging Strips offer a straightforward solution for hanging frames and wall art without nails. They're easy to apply, leave no wall damage, and are ideal for renters looking for temporary decor. However, their holding power is inconsistent, so they're best for lightweight items in non-critical areas.
Reality Check
Command Large Picture Hanging Strips are adhesive-backed strips designed to hang frames and decorations without putting holes in your walls. The main appeal is for renters or anyone looking to avoid nails and permanent wall damage. Each pack comes with 14 pairs of large strips that work on smooth surfaces like painted walls, tile, wood, glass, and metal. These are marketed as a hassle-free way to mount art or photos, supporting up to 16 pounds for frames as large as 24 x 36 inches.
In practice, the feature that matters most—the sticking power—gets mixed reviews. Some users swear by their effectiveness for lightweight to moderately heavy frames, while others report frustrating failures where frames fall and break or simply never stick. The single biggest complaint is inconsistent adhesive durability; strips may lose grip over time, which is a risk if you plan to hang anything valuable or heavy. If ease of setup and removal outweighs the risk of a fallen frame, these strips do make wall decorating simple, but they’re not the right solution for every scenario.
Best For:
– Renters and dorm residents who need damage-free wall mounting
Not Recommended For:
– Anyone hanging heavy or valuable items long-term, or needing absolute reliability
What Customers Say
Customers find these adhesive strips work well for hanging pictures, particularly for temporary wall decorations, and appreciate their ease of application and removal.

Moreover, opinions on quality and value are divided, with some finding them perfect while others consider them low quality and a waste of money. The weight-holding capacity is also mixed, with some saying they hold even the heaviest frames while others report they don’t hold anything at all.
