Curtain rods are very nice.  I was surprised to find that the rods are a chocolate color while the end knobs are the cocoa.  When the knobs are connected to the rods they blend and look fine but I was surprised to see that not all the hardware was the cocoa color.  I suppose it won't matter if you have curtains covering the rods and not really very much if the rods are showing but it is a difference.
