Bought these for my son's dorm room to mount his white board, and went back for more for myself. Holds great, even if you don't get the Velcro attached perfectly. i used two strips for a very large white board, and they held great. Don't forget to read the instructions. It is important the surface is clean, and that you let leave the strips on for a day before mounting. removal was easy and left no marks or peeled paint just as advertised. I'll be using these for our churches vacation bible school decorations. Wish i could buy them in bulk...hint hint! :)
