I loved these from the moment I opened the box. I have a very large window in my living room and needed a double rod to hold some ivory sheers and some heavy suede blackout curtains. This rod goes with my decor perfectly and was a better price than what I was finding for something of lower quality that would actually fit this window. The packaging was phenomenal and I didn't realize how well they had to package it until I put the rod up in the brackets and slid it a little bit (I didn't realize the screw wasn't loose enough in that bracket. The screw to hold the rod in place scratched a little of the finish off. Not a big deal since it is so small but oh man did I feel bad. As long as you are careful, you will be fine.
