Flimsy packaging received barely intact (lightweight cardboard, ripped and torn through transit likely).  Luckily no damages.  Sturdy, good looking rods, but we do wish that the size options included bars even wider.  We are using these rods throughout house, and they look great on the smaller windows as they extend beyond the edges of the window frames.  We have a couple of larger windows where the largest size of this curtain rod extends barely an inch to left or right of the window frames.  As we liked the simple style of this curtain rod, we ordered the largest sizes possible.  Easy to assemble and look good above all our windows, so I would definitely order again, as the prices were reasonable for this item, and the product strong and solid.
