GB HOME COLLECTION Austere Vogue Curtain Rod Metal Cafe Rod Window Treatment Rod Drapery Rod 48-84 inches Black GH-6808BV2

Was concerned when ordering due to price… It’s a great curtain rod! Looks nice and easy to hang.

We had started to remodel our old home, before it sustained a lot of damage from Hurricane Ida, and when we moved into a new fully remodeled home, these went perfect with the modern decor so we ordered them for every window in the house.

They are very nice, but didn’t work in the spot like I had hoped.

These fit the bill when searching for white rods to hold Grommet type curtains. We did not even hit and studs and decided not to use the fat plastic anchors (unless we need to later) but so far (only a week) they are hold heavy blackout curtains beautifully. The screws are a little tricky to install because while you can twist the bracket sideways for the first screw, the second has to angle in a bit to get in - no biggie.I suggest our method which worked well.1. Decide where you want your bracket (keep in mind, the rod hangs more in line with the bottom screw hole.) Hold the bracket in place and mark the top hole with a hard pencil dot. Then predrill that dot and holding the bracket sideways (at first) screw in your top screw.2. Use a leveler on the side to make sure it is vertical and mark your second screw hole. Remove the top screw and bracket, predrill the second screw hole. Replace the bracket and top screw and finally install bottom screw.3. You will want a level line from the center of first screw across the wall to where you want your second bracket. Lots of measuring. (Tip: If you draw a light line in pencil - you can erase it easily rubbing with white toothpaste - don't try to use an eraser. It makes a smeared mess and won't be as effective.)4. Repeat steps 1 & 2 to install the second bracket.

It is beautiful and holds my heavy blackout curtains. BUT that is because I had to get my own anchors. I followed the directions and the anchors they give you fall out before you can even install the first bracket. If you are good with getting your own anchors then I recommend this.
