I love these curtain rods and they give me the exact look I was going for. I had to add some additional support as I used very heavy curtains but as these are particularly spec'd for shears I am not surprised and found it easy to make the adjustment. Great way to no have your traditional window dressing 

Pros: easy to install, unique look, dresses up the window but still shows molding 
Cons: pre-drill with one bit size smaller than recommended and be very careful with how deep you go
