These curtain rods look great (just like the picture), were easy to assemble and even when stretched to its full length, do not sag with the two lined curtains I hung on either end. The longest rod comes in three parts, and there are small white plastic parts where they connect that may show depending on how you hang our curtains. There's also a brace in the middle which helps support the rod, but it is not visually distracting. Pros: Good value, sturdy, easy to assemble Cons: Plastic connector pieces may be visible
