Like most others, home improvements have been a big deal at our house this year.  We obtained two of these rods for the bedroom.  The bars are very sturdy and easy to adjust for length (one of our windows it 6 inches wider than the other. Love old homes!)  They were so easy to install that my husband just had to stand there while I fixed them.  Curtains hang beautifully from them.  I would consider buying more for other rooms.
