Kenney – Adler Curtain Rod, Rust-Resistant Textured Steel, Industrial Pipe Style for Indoor/Outdoor Use, 5/8" Diameter, Adjustable 28–48", Black

I was looking to replace a curtain rod. Nothing was wrong with it except I dropped the tiny hand screw used to tighten one end of the rod to toe mounted base. (I have mild neuropathy in my fingers sometimes, I could not find it. It may have gone to the place single socks go when washing them) I went to the local hardware store to find a suitable replacement, but couldn't. So I decided to spend a few bucks, resolve the problem relieve the hassle. This rod fit the bill. Anyhow, it was easy to install. This is what I did, and it took me a few minutes to figure this out, but wow...I even surprised myself. I heartily suggest drilling pilot holes for the top screws of each base. Install only the top on each side, then put in your curtain bar and tighten them up. Check it with a level. Once even, install the bottom screws. Now the curtain rod bases are mounted. Unscrew and remove one rod but loosen and leave the other one mounted. (For this next step, I had my wonderful Wife to help me.) Slide the curtain as far as you can onto the the first rod. Be sure to hold it up from the weight of the curtain, then insert the other curtain and slide it in as far as you can. Insert the remaining rod into both curtains until you can fit it on. When both sides are on, tighten your rods, spread out your curtains. Now you have your curtains up! Success. Go take a break! I hope these tips helped, like I said it took a bit, and you'll be the hero!

I love these rods!! So much easier to assemble and hang than the last ones I got, as these rods only require 2 screws rather than 4. Easier to line up as well what with there only being 2 screws on each side Additionally, I have found these rods are sturdy and I would so you definitely get the value/quality for a good price I went with black and hung them with the curtains I found on Amazon (which I also love) Will be buying these for all of the windows in my home as I love the look and how easy they are to use!

I was quite happy with this curtain rod--it has a modern, industrial look that I was waiting, and it is fairly sturdy and secure, enough to hang a set of insulated curtains. It was easy to install and looks nice.

First off, this was MUCH nicer than I expected it to be. As you can see in the up close shot the finish is really nice. It looks like an old pipe. I've had it up now for a couple of months and no issues looks great. It was pretty easy to install but one thing I think they should change is having the part that screws onto the wall separate from that first part that bends. It's a bit awkward getting to the one screw and you could easily accidently put the screw in at an angle. The screws they provide or black but I MUCH prefer using my good self tapping screws so they're easy to get in.

I read a lot of the reviews before I purchased these, so I knew what to expect. The product boxes came undamaged and intact, so i was relieved to find that. The rods and brackets themselves are very skinny and lightweight, looks to be aluminum and coated in a plastic to give it a galvanized look. The installation was simple (for my husband who is a licensed builder). I hung one drop cloth curtain per rod, using clip rings. After using these for 3 months there is a slight sag in the middle of the rod. Perhaps it could use a center support; however, it would prohibit me from using only one panel. This next thing has nothing to do with the rod itself, but my be helpful to someone purchasing these with the intent of using metal clip rings. The noise the clip ring makes when sliding on the rod while opening or closing the curtain is obnoxious. To the point that I've resorted to closing my curtains before my 3 kids go to bed for fear of waking them.

5 mins to hang this. Looks really good. I used curtains with a 1 and a half inch rod pocket, 38 inch wide by 84 inch long panels, it's a 42 inch wide window. This rod is lightweight, I don't feel like it will sag at all. I used lightweight curtains just in case. Seems really sturdy though. I have included photos that show the craftsman window frame style, because it was hard for me to decide where to hang the rod. We left the windows bare for 3 years because I wasn't sure how the rod would stick out from the frame part at the top. You can see where we decided to place the rod and we are happy with it, using the top of the window as a cornice type thing. Hope this helps other owners of new construction homes with this dilemma.

I love these. I bought bought one for every window in our house. Holds pretty heavy blackout curtains. The curtains slide well on the rod.

As described. Sturdy and durable. Good quality

Es muy fácil de instalar, sólo necesitas un taladro. El único detalle es que parece frágil una vez instalado, la misma caja te dice que no aguanta mucho peso, por lo que recomiendo tomar esto en cuenta para elegir las cortinas. Yo lo utilizo con dos cortinas que juntas pesan unos 800 g. Lo recomiendo.

Easy to install and looks good

Nice curtain rod, secures well

Not sturdy. Very flimsy plastic.

Sturdy and don't fall off the wall as they are anchored on each end. Looks good with any curtain. Downside, you have to unscrew them if you want to take the curtains down. Not a game ganger but something to be mindful of
