I'm looking to put up a few pictures and was thinking of using those Command Strips but have never used them and don't know if they're as good as they appear to be.
Has anyone used these and if so are they any good?
They're not massive frames and I figure it'd be easier to move the pictures around if I don't like the positioning and you can also get a pack of 4x small and 8x medium strips from amazon for £3.99.

Cheers
 
I've used them for a few uses, including pictures, a mirror and also four coat hooks. They hold well. A word of caution, you can only stick them to the wall once, so unless you buy more you can't move things around once up. Also, unlike a picture hook / nail, you're more limited to subtle adjustment / levelling.

HTH
 
I never knew that! I thought you could pull them off then restick in a new place. That's rather unfortunate.
Thanks for the heads up, think I might just stick to the old fashioned way then

You can. The command strip range has a lot of different products but the regular picture hanging Velcro strips can be pulled off and adjusted as you push the Velcro back together. That's sort of the point of using the Velcro.

I use them everywhere in the house. When moving from my old house I also saw how good they were when needing to take pictures down. Of about 60 strips removed in total there was not one mark on the wall. They're brilliant.
 
Been using them for years in rented properties. 99% of the time, no marks left on walls. Only damages it if you take it off carelessly. It is different from other sticky velcro tabs.

+1 for recommendation.
