First - build a jig of some sort to ensure all the screws are on the same line. I held the rail against the ceiling, drew a line along the bottom of the rail and put the screws along the line. When I tried to get them all in a line by measuring down from the ceiling there was always one that was off juuuuuust enough that it wouldn't clip in. It took me way too long to think of holding the rail to the ceiling and drawing one long line.

Second - if you do need to trim the pieces make sure you have the proper tools to do so. It isn't hard, but the first one I did not use the proper tool and it left black marks and didn't cut smoothly. This is my fault for being lazy and thinking something would be good enough, and not the fault of the product itself, but wanted to share my mistake so you don't make it.

Third - I love it! We just redid our walls after removing wallpaper and I didn't want to put a bunch of holes in my new smooth walls. I also have a bunch of photos and prints and wasn't quite sure how they were going to be arranged in the reconfigured room. I've been so happy with how easily I've been able to move things around as I bring things out of storage and have to find a place for everything.

I purchased this hanging system from Amazon to try it out and then went to the Stas website and purchased the rest of the pieces for the room directly from them.

I purchased the STAS system about a month ago and just got around to putting it up. It lived up to all my expectations. The only problem (not really a problem) was to "Cli ck" it in place took a little more oomph than expected. A sharp hit with my hand and it clicked into place. Some folks complain on other sites that the pictures tend to twist to one side or the other. I made sure that the clip was hanging straight before hanging the pictures on the hanger. There is some torque in the line and if you have the clip hanging straight this will not be an issue. This system works best with saw tooth hangers at the top. With a wire the pictures may tilt away from the wall a bit depending on how high up the wire is on the back of your frame. This also was not a problem for me as a slight angle at the top of the picture (away from the wall) helped to cut down on reflections on the glass. I had not realized that the Smartspring hooks did not come with the additional Cobra line that I ordered. I also had an issue with a missing part. STAS shipped me a replacement part AND the Springhooks at no additional shipping charge. For this reason I would order the system directly from STAS as other vendors might not be so forthcoming. A big shout out to Elizabeth Robison with Customer Service ; she was amazing. If I could rate them a "10" out of 10 I would.

It's easy to install, looks clean and modern and perfectly displays artwork. Absolutely would buy more!

I have purchased 3 other sets because they are so easy to use. The galley I volunteer at out these up and I loved it. We have a set up or living area and my art studio. They are easy to use my only complaint is sometimes it's hard to get the wires to move along the track, some of the wires seem to be a little defective, but out of all our sets it's only been a handful. Keep in mind your art may told away from the wall but to counter that I have changed our hanging wire to be up father in the painting and this helped reduce that. We have also take some tape and taped the hanging wire to the back of the art and that works even better. All the wires we have are the clear ones and even after 2 years they still have a curl to them. This doesn't effect your art handing on them and I don't mind as the excess wire curl as I tuck behind my artwork.
