I ordered this in the pewter finish and am super impressed!  The finish on the metal is brushed and looks very high end. The finial is metal (sometimes they are just painted plastic).  It is just the right diameter for a curtain with grommets.  The pewter finish would work with either bronze or chrome finish.  I would buy this again in a heartbeat!  I kind of cannot believe how little I paid.  I'm used to buying rods from Restoration Hardware and West Elm, but this is just as nice.

Pros: color, quality, price
