Didn’t work.Anonymous reviewerBought 3 picture frames and these were recommended for use with the frames so bought 2 packs. Having recently paid to have the walls painted, these seemed like an ideal solution. Walls are clean, free from dust and marks etc.
All 3 were hung but within a few hours one was off the wall; the strips weren’t tacky so used the remaining hanger which went on well (although the frames don’t hang flush to the walls as sometime else indicated in their review)
All of them have now failed, 3 pictures on the floor when I returned after a couple of days away.
The instructions were followed, requisite amount of time allowed between sticking the tabs on the wall and adding the frame etc.
It’s not that they’re an expensive mistake- the price is great - it’s the disappointment of the first thing I’ve ever had from Ikea that didn’t do what it should.
These must be a brilliant idea for people renting if they worked so please Ikea, sort it out.
I’ll be going back to tapping a nail in!
Picture frame fell and brokeAnonymous reviewerFollowed the directions perfectly, yet the pictures still fell. Don't waste your time with these—stick to the original Command strips.
Terrible, every one I used has failedAnonymous reviewerI bought these to hang a mixture of frames bought from Ikea. I followed all the instructions, use two where needed. Every single one failed and they ripped the paint away each time. Average time was 1-3 weeks. Thankfully no frames broke but these are far from command strips. I hung all my pictures using screws and raw plugs after.
Spot on picture hookAnonymous reviewerMoved a few pictures round and didn’t want to whack more metal hooks in the walls so gave these a go. Really pleased with the results and pictures all hang perfectly in line with each other. Provided instructions were great and all you need is a small spirit level and pencil to do a perfect job. Took a few minutes and no big holes in the wall when missing a metal hooks - wife dead happy.
Waste of money and time.Anonymous reviewerPurchased several packs of these hooks as recommended when I purchased the associated picture frames. They don’t hold any weight no matter how long you leave between sticking to walls and hanging frames. Purchased additional glue strips (well known brand) which have done the job perfectly. There’s not a lot of difference in price between these and well known branded ones. Avoid buying and save yourself any frustration.
Easy to use once…Anonymous reviewerHad to go on YouTube to see how to assemble
Only other issue is that the frame I use does not sit flush, design issue with these or the frame?
Doesnt workAnonymous reviewerVery light ikea frame fell off wall,
hooksAnonymous reviewergood idea for hooks
Very good for hanging picture framesAnonymous reviewerVery good for hanging ikea picture frames - will be purchasing more.
Amazing productAnonymous reviewerEasy to use and does the job brilliantly and screwless! Another reason to love IKEA!
Easy to use and removeAnonymous reviewerI really like this product. I've used before to hang frames, always checking the weight of my frame is within the correct limit, and following the instructions to wipe the wall with alcohol before applying, etc. The frames have always held perfectly. I've now moved some frames and was pleased that the fixings came off the wall without any damage, following the instructions to pull the tab downwards. I like how you also sell separate tape to reapply the hooks if I change my mind again!
Great qualityAnonymous reviewerEasy to use, good quality and easily takes the weight of the picture frame. I've used similar products in the past and they didn't give me the same confidence that they were robust enough.
Will buy again.
HelpfulAnonymous reviewerBought these but turned out I didn’t need them
Appear to be excellent though and I’m sure will come in useful, as long as I remember I have them

Frames fell off the wall Anonymous reviewerNot fit for purpose- I used two for two pictures (not particularly heavy picture frames! Plastic not glass!) and both fell off the wall in less than a week. I got these on a whim since I was buying frames at Ikea and not the usual big brand name I usually buy (which work with zero problems), and now I have a broken frame and have had to order new hooks!
Easy to use, easy to remove without damageAnonymous reviewerI was skeptical of these however pleasantly surprised at how easy to use, and more importantly, easy to remove these are without causing any wall or paint damage. I made a positioning mistake when using it the first time and was relieved to be able to pull the adhesive off the wall with zero damage. Much MUCH better than the name brand alternative (which ripped paint clean off my walls when simply adjusting the velcro).
Works well!Anonymous reviewerWorks well with the Fiskbo frame.
Not compatibleAnonymous reviewerDoes not work for frames without wires—IKEA frames don't come with wires!
HooksAnonymous reviewerI have not used yet, but i am sure they are good, as all Ikea items are.
Does the jobAnonymous reviewerCan't fault them
