I use the medium hooks to hold coats by the front door, robe in my bedroom, empty purses and tote bags on closet doors, shoe bags, dish towels, jewelery, office supplies, brooms, dust pans and mops, pots and pans, wreaths, towels next to the hot tub, garden tools. I use different sizes for different projects. And I rate each hook with five stars. I also use the picture hangers, which I love.
