These are good quality curtain rods - none of which is plastic like similar products. The exact look I was going for! The only reason I’m giving it a 4 instead of 5 star rating is because of the middle bracket. It adds the extra support needed to keep the rod from dropping, but it gets in the way of both sides of the curtain meeting in the middle so complete blackout may be hard to achieve without playing around with the curtains a bit.
