This review is from: Umbra Serif 66-Inch to 108-Inch Double Drapery Rod, Bronze (Kitchen)

While this product look nice, you would have to put up with holding the rod(s) in place as you open the curtains or risk having them break apart where they join. It's not going to give you a concussion when the rod hits your head but it gets really annoying having to "thread" the curtain through again every time this happens. There are no screws to tighten at the ends. I have contacted Umbra twice already about this - once by phone where I actually got a live person, the other by email. Neither produced any response. They did not even attempt to remedy this problem...NOTHING (nice going, Umbra). I guess they want you to spend more money on their double rod drapery brackets (search "Umbra Double Drapery Rod Bracket" on amazon.com) which render the curly brackets useless - the same curly brackets whose cost have already been factored in the purchase price of the Serif Drapery Double Rod Set.

This review is from: Umbra Serif 66-Inch to 108-Inch Double Drapery Rod, Black (Kitchen)

Curtain rods pull apart whenever you open or close the drapes. I needed the 108" rods so the telescoping was a real problem. I hate the telescoping aspect of rods anyway since the rings never want to slide easily of the joint of the two. I ended up buying two sets for each window so I could butt the thicker rods up to each other without exposing the thinner rods but that doubled the cost and still did not entirely eliminate the problem of the rods pulling apart. At least now when you open the curtains they don't fall down, you just have to push the rods back together before the rings will slide over the rod easily. If I had to do it all over again. I would not buy these rods. I love the way they look but they are a real pain. I would return them but I've already drilled the holes in my walls....
