This is the curtain rod I have been waiting for!  The Urbanest wraparound curtain rod is sturdy, it will never fall off the wall, it can be used with rings if you like, but most of all, the design is so simple, it goes with everything and it allows the draperies to be the star of the window.  The wraparound design helps keep out drafts.  I am buying these for all of my windows.  The colors on the metal varieties don't look as authentic in person as they do online. After trying out the Renaissance Gold and Antique Brass, I ended up purchasing the Glossy White and I am very happy with them.
