i did not want to fool with a curtain rod nor do I care for how a rod looks on a door.  The descripton for this curtain said "no rod needed" so I bought it really not knowing how I would hang it as the deacription never used the word "velcro".  I do like this item, took me all of 2 minutes to hang.  The material is a little on the cheap side and the tabs that hold it up when rolled can be seen through the material when not in use but overall I am happy with my purchase.
