For the price, I really wasn't expecting much. However, these rods are very sturdy. There is plenty of hardware to make sure the rods are secure. I have not experienced any sagging, even over very wide windows. The actual hanging was pretty simple. The directions could have been simpler. They were just a small write up on the back of the package, but over all the experience was pretty straight forward. I received all of the hardware, anchors, and extras that were needed to complete my project. The finished product is lovely. I hung these rods throughout the main floor of my home and I could not be happier.
