Genuinely one of the worst Ikea productsJesseeI've been assembling Ikea products for over a decade and this simple little hanger was a nightmare.
First, there's a sticker on one of the bamboo pieces that doesn't come off cleanly — leaves a sticky residue. You then can't face it outward (visible) or inward (sticks to your poster). No indication in the instructions about which direction the pieces should face.
Then you screw the metal clamps to one bamboo piece, lay your poster in, and shove the other piece on top. But the clamps are SO tight that pushing the second piece in crumples/damages the bottom of your poster. It's virtually impossible to keep the poster flush while wedging the top piece in. I spent 15 minutes trying workarounds — bending the clamps, taping the poster — but the clamps are so tight they scratch the poster regardless.
The whole thing is an engineering disaster. Clearly some other reviewers have this issue, but most don't, so maybe there's a deviation in clamp tightness?? Anyway — just buy a regular frame.1

Easy Solution to 'odd' sized picturesSalenaWorked great for some odd-sized pictures I wanted to hang. Easy to use, and don't appear to do any damage. I would love it if they came in different colors.5

Great Poster Alternative StephanieMy daughter is into posters now and I didn’t want to get her a poster frame or hang the poster with thumb tacks. When we were at IKEA I saw this and knew that this is what we needed for her poster. It’s easy to put the poster in and hang on the wall. It makes it look great also. I highly recommend!!5
Looks nice, will damage your posterAugust The bamboo boards will scratch your poster during assembly. It also doesn’t hang flat if the poster still has some curve to it3
Wish it was longerMarilouThis bamboo poster hanger adds a bit of Asian flare for my Godzilla print and stands out on dark posters. It blends well with lighter colors. I wish it came in longer lengths for 24" posters. Also wish it had a hanging cord included (I added a black hanging cord). Works well for small posters.4
Perfect for hanging Chinese tapestriesAnonymous reviewerThese are absolutely brilliant for hanging Chinese tapestries/pillow covers.5
Great for hanging completed puzzlesShelleyDepending on the size of the puzzles, I use either the smaller or the larger ones.
I have a wall of my completed puzzles and this product makes it easy to hang them on the wall.5
Difficult to useSuellenThis is the first disappointing purchase from Ikea. I could not get the picture in the 'frame' by myself. I rumbled the print. I have not used this. A waste of money1
