I purchased this fleur de lis rod to go with a Parisian bistro tapestry also purchased from Overstock. One of the major influences in my purchase was the number of positive reviews given by other Overstock customers. However, when the curtain rod arrived, the first thing I noticed on taking it out of the box was the lightweight feel. It is an adjustable rod, but there is no tension to keep the rod where you want it. As I was hanging the tapestry by a cord rather than mounting it, the two halves of the rod kept sliding together and bunching up the tapestry. In addition, the workmanship leaves something to be desired. The screws stick out, and even after an attempt to tighten them, they left greyish marks on my white dining room wall. The finials are one-sided, although detailed. Once I finally got the rod installed, it coordinates well for the price. If I'd seen it before I ordered it, I honestly would have skipped purchasing it due to the lightweight feel and lack of rod tension. The old saying "you get what you pay for" is true: if you're looking for an inexpensive way to hang wall art, this is a decent choice, but I would be reluctant to use this with an expensive tapestry.
I like the look of the rod but, if you use the hardware provided, the rod hangs away from the wall a bit too much. I kind of improvised and pushed it back to just rest on top of the bracket ... It now sits closer to the wall and I don't have to put up with the hassle of returning it.. Overall I like the look of the rod... Just wish the brackets sat more flush against the wall. I will be on the look out for a replacement at a hardware store ... Should be an easy fix.
I have this tapestry hanging over my couch in the living room and it has helped up and remains beautiful to this day. The colors match the colors in the couch perfectly. Who would have known! Love it!!!!
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? Doesn't do it justice
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Excellent
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? Accurate but still didn't do it justice
It was easy to install this rod on a new tapestry for our living room. The decorative ends of the rod added to the look.
- Did the color match the color displayed onsite? Yes
- How is the quality of the product? Very good
- Did the description onsite accurately describe the product? Yes
As I've learned before, you get what you pay for.. one of the finials broke right off when we took it out of the box. Luckily my husband is good at repairs, so he glued it overnight so we could put it up the next day. Very flimsy.. could not hold a lot of weight. Would not recommend this product. Ours is up at our cabin in a guest bedroom so I can't get that exercised over it. However, I love Overstock and honestly, this was the first thing I've purchased that we have been unpappy with the quality.
Although it was a good price and quick delivery, the ends are not full. It only has the front of the Fleur De Lis at the ends. It is curved in on the back side. I would only recommend it for a place that is not visible to you guests, like a closet coverup.
Bought two to hang my tapestries. Very nice and installed easily.
Loved this product. First time buyer and very pleased. The tapestry arrived quickly, looked exactly like the photo and description online, great value and quality for the money.
Ordering was easy, shipping fast and the purchase arrived in good condition. Would recommend shopping from Overstock.com any time.
I was very satisfied with the design, price, and prompt delivery. It was my first time to use Overstock.com, and I'll definitely be a repeat customer!
It was hard to put up but other then that it was ok.
Nice looking and easy to hang but one of the decrative end peices came in broken. Super glued it, so it's fine for now.
This rod looks great with my tapeestry but could serve as a curtain rod as well. The quality is exactaly what I expect from Overstock, Thanks again!
This is the perfect rod for the tapestry, which I also purchased from overstock! I tried to find a rod elsewhere and could not. Thanks Big O!
The metal is really soft in the finials for this rod. You get one chance to put the finial on and secure it with the screw. If you need to adjust the position of the finial - either turn it a little or push on farther - the screw will no longer be effective. This is because the metal in the finial is very soft and strips out as you tighten it for the first time.
light on construction, i hope they hold up. beautiful appearance though, and nice price
This rod is made well but I was disappointed that the design does not go around to the backside. It is just flat.
very nice rod, works well with the tapestry that I have
I purchased this for a tapestry I also bought on Overstock .I love the way it looks and it was very easy to put together. I would recommend this product.
Very lightweight, easy to assemble. Very nice color and finish.
