So pleased this curtain rod, even though it nearly didn’t make it onto our wall! We almost didn’t use it as a curtain rod, because the two ends with the faceted “crystal” looked so much like fantasy scepters or walking canes the guy from the Monopoly game might use, we seriously thought about getting another rod and keeping this one just for our amusement. But we did put the rod and the curtains we purchased up in our home and we love it! Would highly recommend.
