This curtain rod is the type I have been looking for , for a while. We have a really big window in our living room and this rod seems to do the trick. It was easy to put together and put up. I really like we could use this as a room divider. It is big enough to do so and could do it with ease. I would suggest if you have a large window or possibly have a bedroom that you are wanting to split. This product is very useful for that purpose.
