I saw this and am tossing up whether to get it . . .

It's basically a metal backing with magnetic frames so you can have a dynamic photo wall.

I wonder if anyone has any experience with it - looks good online, wonder if it's worth the money'?

We don't have a photo wall, but we find these thingys the best to hang frames/pictures on walls:



The tend to balance the weight of the item evenly and rarely fall off or go wonky or anything!

We used the picture hooks that Kalota posted a photograph of.

Thanks for the replies. We were thinking of using the same hooks but wanted to know if anyone else had used something different.

A friend had used double sided velcro.

I have used the 3M picture hanging strips (like Velcro but reusable) when we were renting and they worked really well.

Now we have purchased a house I am looking at installing these

I think I like the idea of a ledge so I can mix different frames (i have some crystal/glass ones as well as some heavy large timber ones) and even add little trinkets or kids artwork.

I just need to decide on which wall to turn into my family gallery.

We used the 3M strips as well like velcro, we have a double brick house so am over drilling holes everywhere, and these work great and so far when I did pull them off no paint was removed.
