I really love this curtain rod. I like the decorative touch at the end. It is a true matte black so goes with pretty much everything. The rod was easy to install. Comes with 3 brackets that give you about 2" of clearance from your walls in case you do have a frame around the window (we do not but it worked just as well). Instructions say it can go between 36-72". Our bedroom window is 48" and this fit it perfectly.
