These curtain rods are stylish but poorly constructed.  The brackets and rods are very flimsy and lightweight compared to other brands.  The set screws that keep the rods in place are not precisely machined so it is next to impossible to unscrew them by hand and are difficult to turn even with a screw driver.  If it wasn't so inconvenient to pack up and return the rods, I would send them back but have decided to keep them and make the best of it.   Do not recommend.
