The magnets are really very pretty - exactly as described. I am disappointed in the strength of their hold. They are specifically listed as "strong," but I have not found them to be. If I use them to hold up a thicker paper, even if it is not a full paper size, chances are it will fall easily, if someone brushes against it, etc. I brought a couple to work to hold up papers on the fridge which are constantly being used, but learned very quickly that I could not put up more than one paper at a time, and I should ideally use two of them. We have a surface in our home which is magnetic, but the magnetism on the surface isn't very strong. We can hang certain magnets which have a good hold there, but not these - they simply won't stay up. I had already made use of them, and did not feel it was honest to return them. And they are pretty, so at least that is nice. But I do disagree with the "strong" part of the desription.
