does this item create any sort of damage to the posters? And how much weight can it hold?

I bought one of 48 inch Just Hang-Its for a large map of the world, and several smaller versions of the Just Hang-Its for other posters of different sizes. All are laminated which protects them from any damage. If the posters were not laminated, and if the paper was on the thinner side, I could see the top edge of the posters getting a bit bent. Not sure how much the large world map weighs, but the Just-Hang-It has been holding it securely for about six months now.

No damage. We hung a HUGE US Map for a homeschooling class and hung it and took it down after class each week, so it is very durable.

It secures the posters with rubber grips that pinch the poster with"teeth". It has not damaged my laminated map, but it might damage more delicate material.I would estimate that the map it holds right now weighs 3 pounds.

If you put it on really careful it doesn't damage it but it is easy to bend an edge or corner. They can't hold a whole lot of weight but I would say any normal poster can be held easy. It basically pinches the poster so the heavier and thicker the poster the more they can hold. I hope that helps

no damage to my paper posters (maps). It clamps on them, so maybe it could crease very delicate paper, but no problem to my fairly thin maps. I don't see it having trouble with the weight of any large poster (though not sure I understand the question).

Not sure on the weight but it works well for our needs and does no damage to the poster.

I have a laminated poster that weighs about 2 pounds. The hanger holds it easily. There could be potential for bending the poster where you clip it when you're closing the hanger or putting the poster on the wall, especially if it's a big heavy poster. I'd get another person to help just to be sure.

Well, I used the pole as a totem for a festival, and hoisted a 2-3 pound stuffed animal for 5 days. It held up fine with constant shaking and molestation from other totems around. Almost a year later and it still functions the same. Can't speak for its max weight though

Has long as you have it properly anchored to the wall it should support up to 75 pounds. It's the hangars that you hang accessories that has to be heavy enough to hold heavy objects.

It would be able to quite securely hold a 24" x 36" poster, assuming it had some rigidity to it. As far as tipping, I wouldn't say it's easily tipped as the base can spread fairly wide, but I wouldn't rely on it to hold anything precious. Hope that helps!

I don't have heavy stuff on this but I would be careful how heavy the items are. I have pictures so they don't weigh a lot. It will be beautiful with whatever you put on it.

Hi Katrina. I was wondering the same thing... I found a seller on eBay who described it as holding up to 15 pounds. The Container Store supposedly sells them (9.99) so I'm going to try to swing by and pick a few up. Thinking that a few would make a display similar to the "Sapien" free-standing vertical metal bookshelves sold at "design within reach" and other places for $250. Ideally it won't crash. :) JD

Not sure weight wise but I have it holding a 4 foot Excalibur and no problems,the hanger is made of light weight metal but its working fine for me.

depending on the weight of your poster, the top clip may not be able to hold the poster vertically without support on the bottom clip. I did not receive any hanging hooks or wire with the poster holders. If you are thinking of hanging the poster horizontally, i don't think you'll have a problem.

I would estimate 25 lbs. I wouldn't worry about hanging clothes on it, but if some one put all their weight on it (like a grab bar), I wouldn't expect it to hold. This depends in part what it is screwed into. Wall board won't hold as much as it will fail before the bar does.

It does not weigh that much, but it is very sturdy. You get the weight after you fill it with your photos:) I have used these for years, like 24 of them on my shelves.

I am sorry, but this may not help you. I actually just hung this on a wall with mounting clay (that blue or yellow tacky stuff for poster hanging). I did not realize the product was a giant sticky label, and did not want to take the chance of it ripping off my wallpaper. It actually worked very well like this. We had a TV-themed New Year's Eve Party and this item was very cool as a decoration. I have since taken it down from the wall without any problems and have re-rolled back up and placed it back in its tube. So I will use it again, in the future. Good luck!

I would guess up to 15 pounds. You could possibly use longer screws which may increase the holding power. I am an artist and I use the mounts to create diptychs from assembling multiple wood framed shadow boxes weighting a range of 8 to 12 pounds.

It is heavy but I used the Command Strips for picture hanging and it worked perfectly. Just make sure you use at least 4 on each side. Hope this helps.

It should hold a pretty good amount of weight for how big it is. I didn't screw mine into the wall because I rent an apt, but I used heavy command strips that work up to 15 lbs and it seems to do the job fine. Small speakers should be fine, just don't strain it.

I'd never use it alone to hold anything heavier then paper poster, etc. I do use it to keep picture frames level.

Its pretty heavy, I hung mine using poster strips and it took about 30 strips per panel, and so three panels used quite a few, also you would probably have to use magnets more than just around the edges scattered over the whole thing. A better idea may be to mount the three panels on a huge piece of cardboard or plywood and prop it against the wall or up on a table or bookshelf

It depends on what you are attaching them to. The picture hanger would not be the first thing to fail. The weak link will be the connection between the hanger and the frame or the hanger and the wall. Don't figure on more than 2 or 3 pounds.
