Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am obsessed with 3M Command products and I use them all over my house. I rent, and living in an old house with plaster walls makes hanging things up a huge hassle. And full disclosure: I *know* this isn't a classy solution but when you're desperate you're willing to try anything :) I use these jumbo slate hooks in my bedroom to hold up a curtain rod! You'll have to get a pretty thin rod for it to sit securely inside of the hook area - the one I purchased was from IKEA and it works great. I wish they made these jumbo hooks in a style that didn't look so... warehouse-y... but honestly I'm so grateful for them that I'll take what I can get. Excellent stick quality, reliable, and have/will buy again. EDITED TO ADD: I wanted to add a little more info on the type of rods that will work with these hooks. In my bedroom I use the IKEA RÄCKA Curtain rod, which is 3/4" diameter. It sits easily inside of the Command hooks. I used this solution in my living room as well (see second attached photo - don't judge as I'm in the middle of redecorating, ha!) but because this rod was much longer, I used 3 hooks to hold it up. For my living room, I used Threshold™ Industrial Cage Curtain Rod from Target. It is listed as 1" diameter and fits in the hook, though it does sit a little higher in the hook. Something super important to note is that not many finials will work with these hooks since they sit so closely to the wall. I was disappointed that the pretty globe finials that came with my Target rod set wouldn't work - they were just too big. The finials I got from IKEA did work, however - they were much smaller and lay flat/flush with the wall. Edit 2/24/17: I attached a new picture - months later these are still holding strong with no issues. :)
