The Eclispe Darkening rod was easy to hang, only one wood screw on each end and it comes with two plastic ribbed screw holders in case it is being hung onto a surface other than wood. The ends are seperate from the rod and have a big hole that fits easily onto the screw and slides down for a secure fit. The rod clicks into place on each end. The easiest rod I've ever hung and very sturdy. Curtains slide nicely around the sides to wall.
