Exquisite Allure Curtain Rod, 28-48 In, Black, Metal Cafe Rod Window Treatment Rod Drapery Rod

Well, it looks like my curtain rod is a curtain rod. It even looks like the one I ordered, and it didn't break when I installed it. Hopefully it doesn't break for at least a year or two, because installing curtain rods involves ladders and effort.If it does break, there's about a 25% chance that I'll be angry enough to update my review (more if it takes a chunk of sheet rock with it).

After starting my night shift job I soon realized I needed blackout curtains to ensue proper sleep during the day. And to hang the curtains I finally chose this as the curtain rod. The design is simple but with just a touch of style at the ends with the spirals. The rod is lightweight and installations was actually quite easy. It came with almost all the parts, even had an extra screw and wall anchor, but one of the end pieces was missing the inner tube so it could not be tightened into place. I'm going to contact the seller in hopes of getting a replacement end piece. Besides that, this was a pretty awesome rod for the price.

The only problem I had is the placement of the screws makes a slightly awkward angle for your screwdriver, but I was able to eventually do it. The curtain rod is really nice looking, but even better, the vendor provided me excellent customer service when I wanted to buy a second rod in order to extend the rod to fit my overly large window. Not only did they respond, but they explained it in a way that was easy to understand. I had to buy a second rod, but since it didn't come in a size long enough, it was necessary. I look at the rod every day and love it!

I won’t lie, this was kind of a pain in the butt to install (but that’s probably just me being lazy) this curtain rod is light weight but I wouldn’t necessarily call it sturdy. Especially if you are only using 2 of the holder brackets (it does come with a third though to install a middle support )If you are using a heavier fabric, be wary. And definitely use that 3rd support bracket.I was using an extremely light sheer fabric so it will get the job done.

A good product, but I’ve been ordering a lot of rods for my new house, and this was the only one that didn’t come with a center hook for support, causing a huge dip in the middle, and when I close the curtains it just falls apart. Now I have to search for a specific sized hook, or just order a new rod that comes with the proper hardware.

I like the design of the rod and it looks good over my sliding glass door. Things you might like to know before you buy it:The anchors are not very good. There is no lip and they don't grab the drywall. I used different ones from my toolbox.The rod is kind of thin so if you have grommet ringed curtains or a really long space to cover, you might need a greater diameter than ths one. My window is 78" wide and I did not use the middle support because the curtain is one panel over the sliding glass door. Holding alright after a week, will update this review if the screws pull out.

I hoped it work as we needed, because we decided to add room-darkening panels behind our lined drapes (for better tv viewing during the day). So that meant having to add a rod behind our existing one or changing the brackets. The curlique (finial) was perfect for hanging from the existing mounting bracket & isn't heavy or visible with the draperies in place. I put the stars at 4 for sturdiness, as I don't think heavy drapes would work on these rods, especially when extended, but our room-darkening panels are not heavy.

I like it. Cute design. However, there's a black gasket type thing on the ends, where the finials insert and one of them is always showing just a bit. May be a defect on mine, or could be the design on all. Which most may can overlook, but I can't lol. Other than that, it's cute and seems durable for the price point.
