Boy, it was hard to find a curtain rod as long as I needed in black.  This fit the bill!  Once I actually read the instructions, it was fairly simple to get in place.  My only complaint is that I couldn't get it snug enough to be able to hang my clothes to dry from.  It can handle the shower curtain and liner no problem, but the moment I put a towel over it to dry, it falls down.  Perhaps it's just me and the way I installed it, or perhaps it's the difference between a tension rod and what I had before.
