I left this too long before I was able to have them put up - and after really looking at them in the room I didn't like them and didn't install them.   Now I can't send them back so my fault. They are shiny and I wasn't expecting that.  The brackets are not nice looking.   Since I needed them to be in a long room it really really shows all the flaws.  If it was one window in a guest room, it would be fine but in my great room, it looks cheap.   Anyone want to buy an unused set of rods ?
