So glad we found this product! We’re unable to drill into the walls to install a rod and this was the perfect solution that didn’t involve a tension rod between the window frame. This is much sturdier. In our case of 9ft ceilings, the entire standing rods are covered by the curtain except for a small portion at the top. We’re super pleased with how it turned out. Install was pretty easy - took about 20 minutes of fiddling and would have been easier with two people. Take your time to install to make sure everything is level and angles correctly.
