I bought these because my landlady didn't allow me to put holes on the wall. I used these to hang up a few decorative items. And I will say that for most 3 years they held great. My only reason for the  extra star. Problem, and reason for the bad review is when I moved out and tried to remove them, they pulled the paint off the wall. A couple pulled enough to make a small whole. Now I have to pay for those repairs. Not happy.
