Product review (5 stars): Nice strong mini rods, very useful
I wish I had known about these short rods years ago, they are a great idea. I have two accent windows in my living room (one on either side of a fireplace) and they are old single-pane windows. They are pretty but in winter they let a lot of heat out so in the past I've just push-pinned a few swatches of flannel up there and it looks, shall we say, bohemian. This year I decide to buy some nice fabric and make nice curtains and use these rods to hang them. They work great and they are very strong. And on warm days when I want to look out of the windows, I can just pop them down in seconds.

I read that some people are using them in cabinets to hang up things like spray bottles, also a very good idea.
