I was looking for a rod that was inexpensive   but looked  nice and this  is perfect. I am using  for   curtains that were purchased   for master bedroom.   The  rod appears to be sturdy.  it came to me earlier than quicker than I  expected it to.  a week earlier than the curtains.  I love the  grey accent on the  end really matches my wall color well. very happy with this purchasePros: good value for the money spentCons:  i do not have a con    love  this purchase
