I love the new Sun Zero Room Darkening Curtain Rod.  I have needed a product like this for a long time. The rod is curved on the ends for the curtain to "wrap" around it to hang against the wall blocking the light from the window.  This rod would also add privacy to a room.  Hardware is included for wood walls or other types of walls that require special screws.. The rod can be adjusted to different widths and is very sturdy.  The rod would be able to hold a standard curtain or a drape.  The package arrived in a box separate from its own plastic case so it is safe for shipping.  This product is a good value.
