These are nice curtain rods. We purchased one for each bedroom so we could hang blackout curtains. They were easy to mount and easy to get the curtains on and off. The adjustable rod screws into the ends, making it very easy to unscrew to take curtains on and off. We have grommet curtains on them and the grommets easily slide open and closed on this rod. They go around the ends of the rod right up to the wall too, helping to block extra light.
