This is a nice-looking shower curtain rod, and one of very few good-quality shower rods I could find that is tension-mounted, which I wanted in order to avoid putting any more screw holes into my granite tub surround. Went up easy, but make sure to install it the right way, with the little button that is used to set the length facing down, otherwise the curtain rings won't slide on the pole. The brushed nickel finish matches my other fixtures well. Only drawback is that the shower curtain rings do catch just a bit at the place where the two sections meet, there was no small sleeve or gasket provided to make that "seam" smoother, like I have on some adjustable curtain rods I own.
