I absolutely love the contemporary look of this curtain rod!  Visually, it’s everything I wanted.  It has a powder-coated style finish, though, so it can be scratched fairly easily.  When we were putting it in, we twisted the rod with one of the middle screws too tight and now I have a microscopic silver line on the bar where the screw scraped off the finish.  Probably not too noticeable but I know it’s there.  I’m hoping that the fo  no I sh holds up with the grommet style curtain rod going back and forth on it.
