This is an amazing curtain rod!! It was extremely well packaged, the finals are weighty, 2 long length of actual rod, it has the connecting rod in the middle and the hanging hardware is very heavy. You will not have to be afraid that this rod won’t be sturdy enough to hold whatever drapes you want to hang. The color of this rod is like a steel silver. You definitely are getting your money’s worth with this rod and it will last a lifetime, VERY well made.
