This makes picture/art hanging super easy and look like a pro did it.

I've been married for 25 years and we have moved every 24 months. If you think dealing with movers is painful how about hanging a home full of art every 2 yrs. If you don't care whether art is hung level or placed in the center of walls, or the tops of picture are level with the tops of door/window casings then read no further. We have a nice home and I notice when things aren't level or are off by 1/8 of an inch, so it would take me a full week hanging art in each new home. Measuring the wall length and the art length and calculating the exact place on the wall to drill your anchors holes or worse finding that the hangers on the back of the art were not installed level. I could nver get that week back in my life, until I saw this system.

I saw this system on Amazon and decided to try it out with the 4 rail complete system. It took me 5 minutes to measure the wall and locate my anchor points. I used my 4' level to make sure they were level drilled the holes and installed the anchors and screws, I put the cables on the rail and tapped the end plugs into place on the rails, then snapped the clip rail into place. That was was super easy and then all I needed to do was put the hooks on the cables and level the hooks approximately near where I wanted the art to hang. Then adjust the hooks to my final hanging point.

What I love is that I can swap out art without needing to patch holes and repaint walls!!! This was a great invention, and I wish I had discovered it earlier in life I would have saved 4.5 days of time on each move.

Love the way it looks.
Wish it came with more hanging clips. I got 8 cords with 8 zipper clips and if you're going to hang more than one picture on each cord you need more clips

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.

I couldn't be happier with the system & STAS's customer service!

First recommendation is if you are going to mount the rails right up against the ceiling, spend the few extra bucks for either the Clip Rail Max or Multi-Rail Max. The extra back rise will make a better looking installation. That being said I used the basic Cliprail and it worked out very well and looks very good.

I ordered about 80' of their standard 2-rail packages. When I received them there was a note that there reviewed my overall order and felt I needed some additional parts to have the installation better. They gave me more connection kits at no charge. They were tight. I needed the additional parts.

The installation was amazingly easy. I am not handy and it went like a breeze. The ceilings in my condo are not at all even so i "modified" their standard installation method to compensate for my bad ceilings. Of course being an engineer my idea was brilliant! ;-) The problem with the building construction not the rail system. I'm gong to send them a note and some photos showing my recommendation for the modifications for their installation instructions.

My wife and I are photographers - and over the years we've accumulated a LOT of framed photos from shows, etc. At home, I'd like to keep a rotating 'gallery' display going, and this is exactly the product to do it with.

The heavy monofilament support cord can carry more than one photo vertically, and with a level, a single cord can carry a framed heavy picture. The 'zipper' sliding hooks are easy to adjust up and down.

I will be buying MORE - shown in the photo are 3 sections of four purchased. One more set of four will cover a larger wall we have available for gallery space.

Base rail installation was not too bad - find studs, place your snap-on screws into firm wood (NOT just drywall!! Get yourself a cheap stud finder...) and be aware of where the section join (longer) snap-on heads need to go (you may miss wood studs with those...). Use a level to insure that your rail will be nice and horizontal. Attaching the rail takes a firm fist blow to "snap!" it on those heads, and trimming to length for the final section is a good job for a vibrating multitool with a blade.

I did NOT trim the length of the down-cables - they coil behind the pictures automatically, and in the future I may well have lower hung pictures, or multiples on a single cable.

Price seems fair for the quality of the product.
