While the product itself was fine, the answer to a product question from the original company amounted to, Too bad, so sad you didnt install the product correctly, even though the instructions were not clear on the issue. So, the finials I had didnt fit, and when I (finally) spoke to someone at the company, I no longer had access to the connector I needed. If you read this far, please be sure to install your corner rod with the big end on one end and the small end on the opposite end so your finials will fit.
