An apparatus for supporting articles. The apparatus may include a stretch-release adhesive tape, a support member having a hook member extending therefrom, and an access member coupled to the support member. The support member may be secured to the wall via the stretch-release adhesive tape. Furthermore, the access member may be pivotably coupled to the support member so that in a closed state the access member covers the stretch-release adhesive tape from view and in an open state the stretch-release adhesive tape is visible and can be gripped by a user to remove the stretch-release adhesive tape and the support member from the wall.
