The Command Hook, rated for five pounds, has two parts plus the adhesive attachment strip. The hook itself slides easily on and off the smaller part which is secured to the wall or door surface. I have found that the mounted hook holds firmly to a varnished wood door surface and does in fact hold five pounds weight. It turns out that a five pound bag of potatoes can be suspended from this hook and kept inside a cabinet or on the back of a pantry door. I am pleased with the product, and can agree that it works as claimed. I received this Command 3M sample for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
