I wanted to get Moen because it was the brand my bathroom remodeler uses, but since they were giving me a special price they said I had to supply my own rod & they would install it. I wanted to be sure they would be familiar with the installation so that's why I bought ths brand. I also knew I wanted a curved rod & stainless steel. I did look at others, but there always something that left me guessing that the quality would be lacking. Wayfair's price was right & I couldn't be happier with my purchase.
