I was initially thrilled to install the NeverRust 28 in. x 60 in. Rustproof Aluminum Hoop Shaped Shower Rod for my standalone tub, drawn in by its sleek chrome finish and the promise of durability. However, my excitement quickly faded after installation. Despite its appealing aesthetics, the rod's sturdiness—or lack thereof—became a significant concern. It felt flimsy and unstable, especially when pulling the shower curtain, leading me to constantly worry about its ability to stay securely in place. This was a disappointing turn of events, considering how perfect it seemed on paper for my bathroom's modern look and feel.
