This curtain rod was the exact answer to our problem. Our bedroom has large window and while we wanted something strong enough to hold the height weight of our black out curtains, we also wanted the option of having light weight curtains to allow light in the morning after awakening. This rod was the perfect solution. My husband amd I hung them early after a little measuring. The rods are strong and we'll made while at the same time stylish. The color and style of rod gives me the option to change curtain colors/styles periodically. I couldn't be happier with my new Cappa Double Curtain Rod
