Has anyone tried to use these as a room divider by taping them to the ceiling? Just for very rare visitors?

No. The material is pretty heavy so I don't think tape would hold them in place.

The corners of these tablecloths are rounded, so these may not be the best for this type of use.

I bought 2 of these just for this reason. I assume nails or hooks would work just fine.

I don't think that would work, unless you used something really strong, like duct tape. There's enough weight to this table cloth that regular tape wouldn't hold it.

I have not tried it. My guesstimate is that if the ceiling is flat and smooth it could work (light weight items only) worth a try with cautiongood luck

I did it; but it requires some SERIOUS diss-assembly. I'd never do it again because the plastic ends break. Then you end up with a fixture with lots of tape to hold it together. I recommend using the chains, just get it close to the ceiling as you can.

I think these would be a poor choice for floating shelves. Z-clips are great for more shear strength needs. I used them to hang shutters. All the weigh of the shutters is close to the attachment point and the load is all vertical. I've also used these for oversized pictures, and wood wall panels. Shelving will have a load that is away from that wall and these will pull out. However if the shelves are lite, shallow and not carrying any weight of significance you may be able to get away with these as an option. I've hung floating shelves and structural attachment is a must.

While I beilieve pretty much anything is possible with enough desire and money, I don't think it would work out well for you long term here. The design of the arms and the weight of the crystals just aren't conducive to any mounting other than a flat ceiling.

I just used a screw hook into the ceiling and put it over my dining room table. I use the tie backs to open the sides. Very cool!

I used them for my daughters birthday hanging them over the table. They come as flat tissue paper, you have to fold them over in a zig zag - they are scored its to do and they come out even. Once it folded you secure with a Tie- included. A way to hang them is not so I used white ribbon and tied it to the middle then fluff the paper to make a ball. I used a clear push pin to take the ribbon into the ceiling. My warnings- this is paper so it will proboly get dusted after a while. I also would hang them to the right or left of the crib- if they do fall then the baby could get tangled in the ribbon. Hope this helps,

This item was given as a gift. She says it is finished, she really loves it, that it would work well as a room divider. However, the screw covers are small and hard to put on. She says you don't really need them. Hope this helps.

We use them as floor monitors or small venue mounting on stands. I think you could arrange some sort of a mounting arrangement!

No, this is meant to be hung on a wall or resting over a table. Is not tall enough to be a room divider and is very delicate for that purpose you have in mind.

I believe so. Glass would probably be easier for it to stick too. They are currently attached to a textured ceiling so a smooth surface should be a cakewalk.

We hung them from lights on a ceiling fan and just didn't use the fan. We tied them with slip knots. Hope this helps.

Hi! These come at about 80'' if you are a craftsman you could probably cut them down...CAREFULLY! There is only one track for the top only. As long as you have top space for "two tracks'' I don't see why you can't put two together... one from the left and one from the right. The only issue I can see would be how the magnets attach together at the middle. The would retract each other so maybe a small metal plate in the middle. If you are looking for long term or deal with pets and children going in and out, then these are not a good choice. They will be flimsy at the bottom. Other than that they served my purpose of hiding an obscure linen closet. Good luck

That's exactly what I did. Of note: Keep in mind that these are light and move easily. So you'll need to strap them together. There are brackets out there, but I found zip ties did the job for 1/50th the price and you can't see them. Cheers!

Haven't tried it, but I wouldn't. Manufacturer's instructions are pretty clear that they need to be used / stacked a specific way to hold up.I've stacked mine against two different walls, and they've been great for holding books, office supplies, equipment and other items, so they DO hold up well if used / stacked the right way. That said, the backing is pretty flimsy, so I would NOT try bolting them to a wall.

I did in my daughters bedroom...I actually found a large fallen branch (I live near the woods) and propped that up and than hung it off one of the branches....I also hung other colored laterns (that I got off of Ebay) around it....if you want to hang it off the ceiling, I would use a hook with some ribbon (that will tie on the top)..hope this helps..

These are designed to go in an unfinished attic. There isn't a way to get them through a hole in a ceiling if you remove the can. They would not fold up and they were too high for me to pt the subfloor back over they without cutting away about 1 1/2" all the way around the bottom. I was only putting them over 3" cans so it worked for me. If I was doing it again I would buy IC rated cans and use led bulbs.
