Work well, and never had anything fall from wall
I use Command strips for some things, but I don't think I would trust them for heavy pictures and mirrors, especially on painted drywall with an orange peel finish. Also, I have tried to use Command strips that I had stored for about a year, and the adhesion was totally gone. I don't know if the adhesive will weaken after installng an item, but the package has no expiration date.
