The Arthur 1" Artichoke Telescoping Drapery Curtain Road is a beautiful addition to my living room! it really elevates the look of my windows and curtains by having an artichoke head rod in a beautiful antiqued white. The rods come with all necessary hardware for installation and were easy to assemble. They are made of  a quality metal and are adjustable to meet the width of your window. After they are installed, they are very sturdy and could definitely support heavy fabric.
