why do the Command Strips, when removed, pull the paint & sheetrock off the wall

Do they? They haven't for me. Pull and stretch downward, not sideways. I was moving a few weeks ago, and they do come off nicely.

I put some Command Clear strips on the corners (pulling side exposed so when I want to move it I can dot without damaging the floor) and it works great, no more sliding!

if you have chalkboard paint that is painted on a wall and the wall behind the paint is porous (like drywall) you may have trouble removing the chalkers. Also if the backing on the chalkboard you use is porous, you may have issues with it erasing as well. I suggest that you test the chalkers on an inconspicuous spot and leave it overnight before using them on a large area.

No. Once it's removed, it's a goner. And it's a bear to get off. I had to heat each piece with a hairdryer and there was a sticky residue left on the wall. I sure did enjoy it while it was up. Lovely decals, just terrible to remove.

No, command strips won't work. It really needs to be screwed into the wall to hold the knives. The screw holes are small tho. Easily caulked & a dab of paint & you would never know they were there.

I misaligned a piece and pealed it back and it took off some paint. My walls are new tho, if that has anything to do with it.

The wall pop I had worked great when it was up but taking it down ripped off the paint underneath. Or at least it did so for me. I had the Wall Pops on the wall for about 9 months before I tried to take it down. I was very careful when peeling it off but the paint still adhered to the back of the Wall Pop. To be honest, repairing the paint wasn't that difficult but still ... Good luck!

I believe that this attaches to the rubbermaid strips that are attached to your wall, in the "garage system"

it is totally removable, and does not effect wall. However it was not reusable. As it peeled off, it lost most of it's umph/stick.

This is prepared and will come off of a wall that has been sized (with wallpaper sizing). It's just a thin barrier on your painted wall. Then when you wallpaper, it's just a matter of wetting it to remove it. Wash the sizing off the wall and it looks just like it did before. If done properly, wallpaper should never take any of the paint off a wall or damage it. The wallpaper is gorgeous.

I don't have a issue. But I did anchor it in place so I don't move it myself while I'm working at my desk. I used clear 3M command strips in each corner. I can't really tell they're there.

I have had it do that, remove paint, but that was flaky and old in the first place. I have also had it leave a little bit of a slight 'grease mark', but very faint. If the paint is matte, it does not do any damage such as flaking in my experience. If it is high gloss thick coat, it also does not remove paint. In my experience, if the paint is on the wall the way it should be, then there is no fear of paint flakes.

I used Command™ Picture Hanging Strips. In fact I use those Command™ strips for practically all of my wall decor now. I love them.

Usually, yes. If you remove it carefully with a blade then maybe you will not & only have to repaint a small area. If the wall is painted with glossy paint, then it is even easier to come off w a knife or blade.

I would not want the liability but can tell you that the strips stick really well with double sided tape. It pulls the paint off if you remove them. On the other hand if your child is very strong and grabs the cord rather than the cordmate material anything is possible. Hope this helps. I doubt it will weaken over time, once stuck to the wall its stuck, now if you take it off and reapply it several times sure but if you put it up once and leave it I doubt its going to ever weaken. IMHO

Do not use the command strips it comes with! Mine fell off the wall less then 12 hours after I put it up and cracked the bag holder. So disappointing. And I have to wait on approval to exchange it, which is even more frustrating.

There is no need to detach from the wall. Once connected and attached to wall, programming is done on the front using the buttons on right and bottom.
