I’m in love with this rod. It is so perfect in every way. The curve gives me so much more room. I had a rod that I replaced with this one but decided to hang this one a little higher than the last. It gives a feel like my shower is huge. It matches my shower head perfectly. And the most exciting part is that it will not rust or tarnish. It comes with its own curtain hooks that I’m using. They appear to be a little cheaper than the ones i was using but if they don’t tarnish I’ll be happy with them in the end. Very impressed with the rod so far and I highly recommend.
