So I purchased the bendable shower curtain and installed it in a corner shower. The installation was pretty simple. The rod bent nicely to form a 3-sided shape matching the corner stall on the floor. I placed the rod on a counter top, placed a board on top of the rod and then used another board to bend down the rod using the counter top's edge. This allowed me to get nice bends in the rod. Next, I used a reciprocal saw to cut the rod to the appropriate length for my project. I will try to add pictures after posting this review.

Overall, the products works well. The only reason for the 4 stars is the overall quality. I believe that the plastic hooks that hold the curtain to the rod will not last long unless you are gentle every time you move the shower curtain. So far I have not broken any. Luckily, this set comes with 24 hooks. You only need 12 for a standard curtain, so you are left with plenty of spare ones. My reason for using this product was to provide a cheap solution to completing a corner shower. Using the traditional glass corner walls and doors easily exceeded $500 in parts alone. This $70 product was ideal for my extra bathroom.

EXTREMELY happy with this purchase. we just finished building our new home and had an unusual and large tub. the kind that should have a wall at both ends... but doesn't. could not find a curtian rod ANYWHERE that would do the job. we found one that was close on another site but it would've cost us at least $130. this was easy to install (so i heard) and has been working great for the last 3 months we've been using it. the hooks and sliders it came with look and feel cheap, but they've held solid the whole time.

I wanted an oversized "L" shaped curtain for my application. The rod was bendable, but it was not that easy. I didn't receive any instructions so I had to wing the installation. It came out good. The curtain hooks look cheap, but they hold.

I read all the reviews before purchasing product and was nervous about the purchase... but really had a lack of options due to the space I needed the rod for. I does come with a lack of instructions and it does take a bit to figure where each piece fits. The rod pieces are hard to bend and also hard to straighten if you desire to bend somewhere else. The hooks do get caught where the three pieces of rod connect. If you need to trim the pieces down to fit your design, if possible, put the trimmed end at the wall bracket side (this minimizes the hooks getting caught). I looks good, it's sturdy and I am pleased with the purchase.

This product came with terrible instructions. Luckily I am an artist with the ability to make things work, but the manufacturer of this product left much to be desired. I suspect it will be functional for a time because it will be used in a spare bathroom which is seldom used. However, if you plan to use this product on a daily basis, I do not think it will hold up. The (provided) curtain hooks are made of flimsy, thin plastic, and all the brackets are as well. Also the (2) ceiling support rods came with no instructions on how to attach them to the ceiling. Again, I can do it on my own, but this company did not provide the proper brackets for attaching the rods to the ceiling, nor did they give any instructions on how that should be done even if they had sent the correct hardware. If I were this company, I would be ashamed to charge over $60 for such a sorry piece of work. The only redeeming quality of the product is that the rod actually bends. I'm sure the company is laughing at how they're ripping people off by making such low-grade products. Shame on you, Shower Authority. Shame on you for making crap.

Our tub is in an odd-shaped space, with a viga-style ceiling and no right-left walls that would allow us to install a regular shower rod. This bendable rod worked great, allowing us to bend to avoid obstructions and to anchor to the right and back walls instead of right-and-left walls. The instructions are quite confusing, though, about how to anchor the support rods. A little bit of experimentation solved this. Finally, you need to draw the curtains back carefully; too much force can make the little grommets pop up, and they're a pain to put back in. But we finally have a real shower curtain up; that trumps all the little problems!

Instructions weren't great however was able to figure out what I needed for the corner shower, had leftover parts and am now waiting on the right size shower liner. Used a powersaw instead of a hacksaw, which would have taken alot more time. Looks really good!!

This is just what I was looking for. It has made our shower a lot more roomier. My only complaint are the directions that came with it. Thank God I know what I'm doing or else this would be very hard to figure out. They give you 1 paper with very poor instructions. I still had it installed within 1 hour.

I used this product on a corner whirlpool shower combo that I installed this winter. I needed to protect a wood window frame similar to the one in the product photo. Make sure your take care to get the bends correct and lengths right. I bent the rod using my knee as a brace which seemed to work effectively. Make sure you get square cuts one of mine was slightly out of square and the hooks tend to get caught in the gap that creates in the track.

I would recommend this to anyone with some mechanical aptitude (or with a friend who is willing to help). Who has a bathroom scenario that doesn't fit one of the standard curtain rod available.

This product fit great.
I didn't like the instructions that were sent, but I had 2 physical/mechanical people helping and we got it in just fine.
