I was happy to have read that in previous reviews that this is actually two sets of 144" rods. If not, I would have received them and thought them wrong. We only had to cover 15 feet, so we had an extra pole. Though it would have hung with three wall mounts, we used four with three windows (one on either side of the middle window. We hung six grommet-topped 52" drapery panels, one at each end, and two on either side of the center window (on either side of the center mounts). The poles and finials are just as described and the simple design blends beautifully into our casual style. Although other reviewers reported no instructions, our pair came with instructions and we had no trouble hanging them. But it did take two of us because of the overall length.
