These curtain rods and holders are both sturdy and chic! However, the screws that came with them did not work well at all, I wound up using drywall screws I had on hand. The screws that were included were WAY too long and did not work on our old walls, as they are horsehair plaster. I struggled for a while then just gave up and used drywall screws. Still a great purchase tho and I am soo glad I got them!
