I had searched multiple stores and sites for this type of curtain rod but was not willing to shell out the $60+ that companies were asking, when I came across these, I ordered 2, one for our living room and one for our master bedroom. The rods look great and we are pleased with the product. I rate 4/5 instead of 5 because if extended to full ability, center of rod needs extra support, which is not included. However, I would definitely recommend these rods!
