Love the rods. We also bought the 144 inch rod. We needed the 52 inch rods for two smaller windows, but we had to 'reinforce' the rod inside with a dowel because the rods wouldn't support the curtains at 48 inches. The work fine now and they look great!

I am very pleased with the rods. I would prefer if the rod could be taken out easier. It is made where two tiny screws secure the bar to the base on the wall. So if you want to wash or refresh the curtains you will Ned a screw driver and be careful not to lose the small screws. I would have ordered the bronze color, but it was not available.

Ordered three of the smaller size for the bedroom in the steel. These curtain rods are very basic and would be best where function is more important than form. They install very easily. The only negative here us the incredibly cheap mounting hardware. The plastic sleeve that goes into the wall is so thin and cheap that I ruined two of them with my lightweight plastic mallet. But those are easily replaced at the hardware store for less than a dollar. Overall a good product at a good price.

I purchased this rod for bedroom windows that have wood blinds. I needed a rod that would project from the wall beyond the blind valence, which this did with no problem. They are much more decorative than the standard white curtain window rods. Excellent quality!

I use these Wraparound Curtain Rods in all of the rooms on the west side of our home. I hang thermal style drapes on them to block out heat in the summer and cold in the winter. I hang these rods about 6 inches on each side of the windows so they are more energy efficient and they also block out light when trying to sleep. I highly recommend them.

With the room darkening curtains0, it helps keep light from filtering into my bedroom and media room where I want it to be nice and dark. These window rods are for practical use and not for cosmectics.

The bronze was the perfect color to go with my Khaki black out curtains. Simple to install and keeps the curtains close to the edge of the window frame not allowing light to sneak in. Sturdy and the 2 inch size is attractive with my grommet curtains. Glad I found these.

I bought the Barricade Curtain Rod because of the wrap-around pole. By bathroom window is right up against the shower and when the window is open, even with the blinds down, you can see into the shower from the side of the window. This rod enabled me to position curtains to ensure privacy. The rod was easy to install, my husband wasn't available & I hung it myself (just had to make sure I was able to screw it into studs). I also like that the rod adjusts away from the wall, with my blinds under my curtains, this is a must.

Substantial and good for the price. Looks solid, not cheap. Tried to take a close up so you can see the color. It is striated a little and I think that gives it a nice effect vs. being a solid color. I used two in my son's room to hang heavy drapes. Rod has a dark bronze finish and matched the "oil rubbed bronze" colored hold backs, light fixture, and window hardware nicely. Small screw can be hand-loosened to allow you to separate the long rod part from the part that attaches to the wall....so easy removal for cleaning (This is a great feature. With other rods, you may have to unscrew the entire thing from the wall to wash your curtains!)

Every person who has come to see my under-construction remodel has commented on these rods. They were hard to find -- I don't like finials and wanted something smooth and sleek. The only downside is they pull apart from both ends -- there are two telescopes in them which makes it hard to find their center and they catch in two places when retracting the curtains. They were relatively easy to hang by myself but I used my own hardware rather than the plastic pieces provided. I really like these and would recommend them to anyone looking for a modern, sleek, minimalist rod.

Love these. Not easy to find a wraparound curtain rod. Definitely energy saving!!

I like that the length from the wall can be adjusted up to 5" on these and the colors they come in. I also like that the diameter works with most pockets/grommets in curtains and various types of curtains. Also like that it covers the size window sufficient where it mounts front to back. We have wood blinds that project quite a bit from the window and these rods are one of the few options we have that work in all the rooms. The weight of curtains shouldn't be problem for these sturdy rods.

I bought this rod because my windows are very close to corner walls and I cannot use rods with finials. This rod was the perfect solution. But more than that, this rod just looks great! I have rod pocket silk taffeta drapes on drapery rings on this rod. They look beautiful! I bought the antique gold rods and the finish is not bright but muted, satin gold and looks very sleek and contemporary. I love the way the drapes look on these rods! I will buy more!

Love the aged wood look to this rod. It does not come with a center support, and for this length, it is not needed (even with heavy curtains). There were a few scratches on the rods (two were purchased) right out of the box but was not concerned over them as I do not believe anyone will look that closely at these curtain rods hung up high on the wall (the scratches were not visible from a distance). The holes on the mounts are not level and the drywall anchors that come with the curtains are rather cheap, but at least the latter part is easily remedied by purchasing higher quality drywall anchors (these are a good thing anyways to have in your toolkit at home).

They are very sturdy and easy to put up. I will get the effect I wanted using 1 3/8" rings with fabric panels. The panels pull around and off the window. Price is very reasonable. *** carries the same brand but not the 1 inch diameter.

From small to wide windows, these are the best choice. I have them on 7 old drafty windows in 3 different sizes. They are strong, sleek, stylish and efficient. My widest window is 120" wide with only one middle support. The rings slide easily on the metal to open and close. I have black curtain rods with black rings holding heavy white lined 84" length curtains. Great Offer Stock has been wonderful with delivery and exchanges if needed.

These are really great rods!! I haven't quite determined whether they are actually that much more energy efficient but the theory behind the rods makes sense. I use these with some Eclipse curtains and the room is definately more dark thatn if I didnt' have these rods!! I have bought them for all the rooms in my house!!

Bought these for bedroom, dining room and family room and they worked aesthetically in all three rooms. 1/2 the price of a well-known store I was going to buy them from until I found these. I've been looking for a pewter French-looking rod for a while and everything now a days is so plasticky. These are REAL metal, love them!!!!

Love these curtain rods. The design allows you to block light coming in from the sides of the window. I work nights and need to be able to darken my room as much as possible. These curtain rods are absolutely perfect.

Love these rods-they are good quality and my drapes curve around to touch wall so no gap for light to peer in on the side. I purchased for all my windows.
