Yup just your basic, cheap curtain rods. Perfect for lightweight or small curtains, although quite flimsy. The center white piece doesn't really do anything I suppose. I probably wouldn't hang anything with a grommet on it or anything that needs any real stability (or could easily get pulled down), but it works for me. I just needed a way to hang some valences I sewed to cover these small windows above the regular windows that cause a glare on my TV.
