After a hook broke on the back of the bedroom door, I had to make a decision. Since removing the hook backing meant I had to sand, clean and repaint the door, I went the extra mile and removed the remaining hooks. After refinishing the door, I switched to the 3M Command decorative hooks and have been very happy with my choice. We use Command products at Christmas to decorate without a worry about damage and now I'm using them as a semi-permanent choice in the bedroom. I say semi-permanent because I know I can change them whenever I want to! Great product!
