I was combing the internet to find a couple of interior mount rods long enough to hang 10’ drapes over my patio doors but couldn’t find anything that didn’t look like it belonged in the shower.  This rod is sturdy enough to hold the curtains and it’s hung so high that you really can’t see the one part that’s my only complaint which is the spot where the two poles come together.  I doubt I’d have found anything that doesn’t have this though!  And for 40 I really can’t complain.
