One problem is that the ends are quite large and if you must install them in a cramped amount of space you may find the ends bumping each other if you have adjoining windows. We have angled windows and that happened to us. Not a great result but a temporary fix for the winter. Another problem is that the mounts are too long so that the curtains do not touch the walls. Drafts can definitely come around the sides and top of the curtains. If the mounts were shorter, more air could be blocked. The sections of rod do slide together beautifully. One had a few minor scratches. If you like the bulkiness of the style and don't have to mount them right next to each other on more than one window, these are fine to get. We bought these in the long and short versions. Only one package had a defective screw which was mangled but otherwise all the hardware was in good shape.
I bought these curtain rods for a large living room. The ends are a large 2" diameter, so you would want a larger sized room for this look. I also bought the longer curtain rod for my sliding glass window and without the middle support the rod sags just slightly with the curtains. The 48" to 90" rod supports just fine and doesn't sage in the middle even with the curtains closed. The end round balls are made of plastic but you can't really tell unless you touch them. I also bought the half round curtain tie backs and love the look they give the window.
I've used these rich, dark brown color rods for 42" windows and recently purchased two of the 144" wide. They are not flimsy! The widest rod works as well with the draperies as the 42". Since the rods come with supports, there is no difficulty in holding the144" length firmly when the draperies are hanging. The price is a third what I would pay for a similar look.. I'm ordering two more of this widest size for another room.
I was nervous given some of the negative reviews, but I was extremely pleased with these rods especially for the price. They are metal, not plastic. They do expand to a larger width without sagging. I'd buy these again without hesitation.
Happy with the quality, design and color of these rods (got the brown ones). Only issue, the rod is in 3 pieces and making the curtains slide on the rod can be challenging. It's definitively not smooth. That works for me as my curtains are not intented to be opened and closed every day.
This is a great rod. I bought 2 inch mocha rings from another site and they work great on this. This is easy to install and looks great with curtain panels. I bought the larger rod for my front window and that worked great too.
Although I haven't installed the rod yet, I can tell that it is a heavy, durable, high quality product.
I was so impressed with these rods, I first ordered them for my dining room, I needed three and I thought for the price I would wait and see on the quality--I WAS NOT expecting what I got. these are high end rods that look and feel like a much higher dollar value item. I liked them so much I ordered 3 more sets for my bedroom and within a week, ordered additional sets for my two guest rooms. They really take the room up a notch. I love the Bronze color, they match my sheers and the other curtains that I have been using for several years. I love the look of them and they are so sturdy. I have the large grommet curtains in dining room and bedroom and all slide smoothly and evenly, rarely hang up where the two rods are joined. All in all a fantastic look.
I have bought every color and every one is nicer then the first.. Proud to use this curtain to do a major re-model and have bought dozens and will be buying dozens more. Have been on other web sites and even stores and none of the curtains look as nice or hang as nice or are so updated style as the ones on overstock .com..
Just what I wanted!! This worked and did the job, for little money.
