Although there was a huge delay in delivery due to a mix up at the warehouse, once I received this curtain rod I could not have been happier! It was worth the wait!! This is a solid piece of artistry. You won’t find this in any retail store. If you are at all hesitant about its quality, don’t be. You will not be disappointed. As a side note Wayfair made up for the inconvenience caused by the delivery delay. Extremely good customer service.
