Okay, I installed the rod. At first look, it seems farely simple to install. My problem was the screwing of the screws. The design of the base where the screws are screwed, it is built in a way you can't see the screws to line it up correctly with the screwdriver. Not only that, but that also prevents one from using a electric screwdriver cause it can't get all the way in. So started off with an electric, but finished with a manual. But it's up and I have two panels of Blackout and two panels of sheer curtains hanging and it's holding.
