There’s nothing fun about waking up to the sound of crashing pottery!!!
I used 3M Command Hooks to hold up some clay wall pieces for my Holiday Home Show last weekend! I followed the directions, stuck them to my wall, let them cure overnight, and hung pieces that were less than a quarter of the rated weight recommendation. They held okay for about four days… and then CRASH!!! Three of them have come crashing down… one of them taking out a ceramic mask along the way! One of them pulled completely off the wall, where the third one the hook separated from the adhesive. They are definitely NOT doing what they’re supposed to do… hundreds of dollars smashed!!!

Be forewarned… and don’t hang anything breakable on 3M Command Hooks!!!
