Next time I will purchase a fixed rod, the adjustable one just doesn’t stay in place well enough.  There is nothing wrong with this product, it is most likely my unique shower size.  This shower curtain rod is durable, has kept its finish, and gives the feel of extra room when you’re in the shower.  It was very reasonably priced and has served my family well for over 5 months now without any trouble.  I also liked the fact that it didn’t require any tools to install it.
