A bit disappointing.  The finials arrived scratched. They were packaged together and I suspect during shipping as they bumped around, the screws scratched the outside of the finish. Also, with the rod being telescopic, one side has a narrower diameter than the other. However   both finials are the same diameter. So, when you attempt to tighten the larger one, it fits well, but the smaller side of the rod cannot be tightened, as the tightening screw falls through the hole when you try to get it secure to rod.
