The thickness of this rod is very deceiving in the photos. This is a 0.75" thin rod. I didn't look at the dimensions - I just went off the photos, my mistake. By the time I was ready to open the box and put the rods up, my return window was closed. I can't believe I paid over $200 for 2 of these rods. They seem cheap - they should be closer to $40 each imo.
