This was a waste of money and I regret buying it. Very frustrating to pay so much for matching curtain rods for my whole home, and then this one, on our biggest window just cannot support the weight of the faux linen curtains and sheers on it. It is not engineered well. If they are selling a double curtain rod that extends to 7 or 8 feet, it should be able to hold curtains for that span.
