Easy to install. The four brackets, each with two screws, makes me feel that this curtain rod will stay up. The brackets are the snap in variety, the rod is not held in place with tiny bolts in each bracket. I was able to get six 84" length panels on the rod and get things arranged to my liking. I do think the instructions for drilling holes for drywall screw anchors were wrong. They said 1/4" drill bit. I think it should have been one size smaller. The anchors went into the holes too easily. I didn't have to tap them at all. The next size smaller drill bit is probably the right one to use. However, I'm hoping everything stays in place. I was prepared for the plastic ball finials to look cheap, but they don't and I'm grateful they don't add to the overall weight. I am happy with this purchase.
