I had my doubts about this rod, but at such a ridiculous price I had to check it out. After all, how hard is it to create a stiff length of metal and then ship it?

Well, it's pretty hard. First, the "metal" appears to be tin, as this thing bends at the slightest provocation. You can probably hang a bit of lace or plastic from it, but forget it for any actual curtain that has discernible mass. Second, it arrived bent right through the middle. Since the metal is so brittle, attempting to bend it back into shape results in the metal snapping. Finally, even if I *did* attempt to hang something from it, the mounting "hardware" is a joke. You get a couple of screws and a piece of what appears to be 4mm diameter wire bent into a U-shape to hang the rod from.

Save time and frustration and spend a little extra for the solid stuff.

This rod does the job -- I'm using it to hang four curtain sheets + the sun blocking things behind it (two windows worth). It sags in the middle but that's my fault for doing the support bracket before adding the weight. And I'll leave it because I'm lazy and it doesn't bother me.

All hardware included: 2x bracket, 4x screws, 1x support hook for the middle.

Brackets are simple, bent metal but do the job.

$6.46 shipped. Would be hard to argue this product is not worth the money.

This curtain rod was a replacement for one that was damaged in shipment. It was economical, sturdy and is doing the job it was made for.

Talk about a horrible curtain rod? I guess you get what you pay for! It just came today and it was bent right out of the box and now i cannot fix it no matter what I do. I don't have time to return this, and I most certainly do not want another one. this is cheap, and was horribly packaged! should of listened to the reviews. I'm going to the store and getting everything I need there from now on! screw this!

Ordered 2 of these separately. The first arrived okay and works as it should. The second arrived bent up and was dysfunctional. Both shipments were sent in very strong boxes, but something must have happened during packing or shipping. Hardly "heavy duty" if you ask me. Worst part is that once bent, you can try to unbend it, but it'll never be 100% functional. I did a pretty good job reshaping mine, but the 2 pieces still bind in places, and it takes a lot of effort to get them to slide to different lengths. Mounting hardware is included.

Bent in two places and the entire rod was bowed out. I tried pliers to fix it but I could not get the rod to extend due to the bowing.. could not fix it.. tossed in garbage

The item does what it is supposed to do - it hangs the Disney-Tinkerbell-Flowers-63-Inch-Drape in my daughter's room like we wanted. The problem is the brackets that were included were too small. We ended up having to bend the metal ends in so the brackets fit. There were no instructions so we were pretty scared we weren't doing it right. But it all worked out in the end.

I have never been charged so much for shipping for anything I have ordered. I was charged 35 dollars for shipping for two of these curtain rods. WHAT A RIPOFF. Two thumbs down.
