Great quality - well made!  My last curtain rod was basically cheap plastic and the pineapple ends were glued to the rod.  One too many bumps or drops, and the tips came off.  These are metal rods with resin pineapple tips - very beefy.  But most importantly, you screw the tips into the rod.  These are going to last, for sure!  And they look nice with my pineapple-finial 1930's furniture set.
