Attractive, good quality, contents well organized, easy installation
Company should be proud of their product. Rod and bracket components were well packaged to keep things organized and to prevent damage in transit. Brackets and rod components are good quality and sturdy. Components have smooth finish and fit together smoothly. All needed items were included, including directions. Three brackets were included with each rod so you can have added support in the middle if necessary. Plastic screw anchors were included along with the screws. Installing brackets and assembling rods was not difficult with help of an inexpensive 8 horsepower drill. (For your perspective, while we are experienced at mounting curtain rods, we're never going to be particularly handy at it. If a product doesn't arrive with all the pieces needed and they all work together well we're not the kind of people who can hack it to make it work.)The rods are attractive. Grommet top curtains move very easily along the rods.Please note that you are given a several short rod pieces of different lengths to assemble together to get the overall rod length that you want. Depending on the length you want, you may or may not use all of the short rod pieces provided.The rod length is limited by the dimensions of the rods you're given. They are not further adjustable. Unlike rods where there are two end pieces that slide in and out of each other, you can't slide or twist these rods in or out a bit to achieve just the right length to fit the brackets you've installed. Instead, you have to assemble the rod to get your desired length first, and then install the brackets precisely to match that length. An advantage that I like of this style of rod is that you don't have that bump in the middle of the rod where the two pieces slide together. That bump can keep curtains from moving back and forth smoothly over the rod. Also these rods seem more sturdy and more supportive of heavier drapes than the slide together type.
