Purchased the 5lb brushed nickel to hang my once a year Christmas picture up that was only 3lbs.  Figure the 5lb hook would be more then enough.  After two weeks of hanging on the wall, I woke up to the picture on the floor along with the hook.  Picture frame destroyed but glass was ok.  I do not recommend this product for pictures.  Maybe Christmas stocking if items inside are not to heavy and maybe shower towels.  Just be careful.  Like MC Hammer said "Can't touch this" product.
