Zenith 72" Chrome Adjustable Curved Shower Rod

I am 100% satisfied with this high quality product. It was extremely easy to install to replace my budget contractor grade standard straight bar shower rod. The instructions were clear and I didn't have one second of frustration when installing this, which is saying a lot since I am not a "handyman". Since my original rod was mounted right into wood studs, I was able to re-use the top holes and just pre-drill new bottom holes (since the bracket on this was taller than my old one) for attaching, which worked perfectly. It's sturdy, well made, attractive, and best of all, functional.The difference in my shower is incredible - this offers so much more space. It really seems like I've got whole new larger shower! I hung two shower organizers (each holds 8 shampoo / body wash containers) on this shower rod with no problem and no sag at all. I am very impressed with this product and highly recommend it.

After updating our main guest bathroom we needed to replace our old straight shower curtain rod with something new and improved. I searched both our local big hardware stores for what they had in shower curtain rods, in-store and online, and special ordered a curved rod from one of them, I won't mention the name here. Upon receipt and inspection it appeared to be what I wanted. However upon putting the two curved pieces together I noticed the bent ends were not inline with each other. The curved tubing was twisted just enough to where it was impossible to mount. I promptly returned it to the store for a refund. I decided to search for a rod on Amazon and ran across this rod and read some of the reviews and decided to order and see if it fulfilled our needs, and it did wonderfully.This is a sturdy stout shower curtain rod, well made and a great value. Being a career tooling machinist I am not satisfied with substandard equipment. I evaluate the quality and design of products I purchase and this product is designed very well. The tubing is solid, not flimsy, the wall mount brackets are very stout and precisely forged. This rod can be mounted by one person but it is easier to have and assistant help support the rod when securing the second final wall mount bracket. Very few tools are required to make this installation and all required fasteners are included. Once the rod and brackets are secured the the wall tightening the top and bottom set screw on each bracket, with the included allen wrench, completes the installation and snugs the rod from any vertical wobble.I highly recommend this shower curtain rod and would buy another without hesitation if I had the need.

This was a cinch to install. Unlike most other items bought for a song, it had very thorough and complete instructions, written in understandable language and with adequate photos.Pros:- Easy to install. Took me about 15 minutes with a handheld drill and a hammer.- Looks very sharp, and is incredibly sturdy. I have no concerns about this falling down no matter what happens.- Templates that come with it show you exactly where to drill and screw - so no worries about being out of line or making a mistake. It's just so simple.- The large, sturdy anchoring pieces won't move - and look sharp, too.Cons:- Getting it level via the set screws seems a bit silly. It's overengineered from that perspective - there must be an easier way to do it.

(Update(S) at bottom)Great product! Really makes the shower feel bigger. The second bar is great for an additional place to hang a towel, a feature I've come so use to I'll never go back to a single bar. The mounting brackets have an adjustment screw that aides in leveling the bar. Install was simple enough, very pleased with the purchase.Side note: the chrome trim cover on the mounting brackets can be omitted from the install for a more industrial look.UPDATE:4/13/2014The shower bar has now begun to rust. This is installed in a guest bathroom so wear/tear is not a factor and we have not used any cleaners or solvents that might cause damage. There seems to be a quality issue with regard to the chrome plating.We have contacted the seller and are hoping for a replacement. I have reduced my rating from 5 stars to 2, I'll update again after hearing from the seller.UPDATE 1/29/15Updated from 2 to 4 stars. The company replaced the defective unit with very fast shipping a great deal of courtesy. The new bar has performed well for some time now and we have not experienced the same defect as the first unit. Excellent customer service. All of the aforementioned positives apply with one new addition: buy from these guys with confidence, they will back up their products. I am impressed.

Ok, so I gave this shower rod 1 star but if there was a choice for zero stars then that is what I would have selected. The rod its self is perfect and was exactly what I was looking for. Now let me explain the "1 star" rating. We decided to paint our guest bath and I already had a curved shower rod in place but it was cheap and would sag on one end because the mounting hardware sucked. So I shopped around and found the Zenith to be the best for the price and bought it back in September. It arrived in one piece and nothing appeared damaged so I left it in the box and put it away. It is now November and we finally got around to painting the bath. I pulled out the shower rod and began to mount it. I got both brackets mounted to the wall and then realized there was a problem. As I attempted to insert the shower rod into the brackets I found that only one end would fit. I went back to the instructions to see if I was missing anything and read the one of the brackets was 7/8 and one was 1'. So I pulled the brackets back off the wall and found that they were both 7/8. The item is no longer eligible for a return and I was not able to find just the mounting brackets online. So, I gave this product 1 star because I had to buy it twice. Lesson learned, after receiving your merchandise check to see that ALL pieces are correct and accounted for.
