I purchased both a 160-240 inch & a 48-84 inch rod for my beach house dining & living room windows.  The living room rod had to span five windows and it was not easy finding this length.  I chose the mahogany finish because it was the closest to antique bronze.  The finish, style and length worked out fine and was affordable.  To manage potential slippage of the five segments of the longer rod during the installation, I recommend placing a small piece of tape at the back of each joint to keep them in place. Otherwise, the multiple rod pieces could become unmanageable across a large expanse or windows.  I'm very pleased with the outcome.
