5 ft. Curved Shower Rod - Polished Stainless Steel

Comment: Very easy to put up. The directions were very well written and easy to follow. Only had to go thru wallboard so the prep work (drilling) was next to nothing. I now have the extra room that I needed to not fill too closed in while taking a shower. I would recommend this to my family and friends.

Comment: I like the price and I generally find the overall quality of the product to be acceptable, but, there is one design problem that basically makes the entire product useless; the wall mounting hardware: specifically the distance between the two mounting holes on each bracket are not far enough apart to counteract the torque created by the curved shower rod with the weight of even the thinnest shower curtain......the wall mounting brackets look very nice but from a functional stand point they need to be designed to be taller so that the screw holes could be spaced farther apart......this is a nice looking product that essentially doesn't work very well. I would not recommend buying this product.

thank you

Comment: Well, it's a shower rod. It does 2 things. Fixes to the walls and holds a shower curtain. If you make sure that the mounting brackets are securely fixed to the walls then this rod is solid. There are cheaper rods out there, sure, but I bought this one because it was the only one that had a particular feature that made perfect sense to me. The rod itself is not round cross section. It's oval. This means it is impossible for it to turn in the mounting brackets allowing the curtain to sag. Think about it. The rod curves out and the weight of the curtain is trying to pull that down. The oval shape of the rod means it can't. Not at all.
I used a 5/16 ceramic drill bit to prepare the mounting holes. The wall anchors were a tight fit but that's what makes the mount so solid. End caps on the rod sit on locators on the wall bracket and are then held in place by a large screw, down through them. Those end caps can slide a little on each end of the rod so that if your gap is not exactly 5' then you can adjust simply for a perfect fit. Once you have them at the correct placing they are also locked in place with a little grub screw using the supplied hex wrench. Get the installation right and then you can stand back and look at a very attractive, perfectly functional, curved shower rod. I just wish it made coffee too.

Since installing this, I have had to remove it temporarily, three times while I am renovating the whole bathroom. By simply removing the big screw in each end, the whole rod just lifts off the wall mounts. It goes back in place just as easily. Again, you could buy cheaper but why would you want to? You and your family use the shower every day, (I would hope!! LOL), so buy one that not only looks good, but is well made enough to last.

Comment: This product is very nice. Works great. Mounts are solid. One minor fault.....if you are mounting in drywall the anchors that are provided are junk. You will need to buy some.

Comment: No plastic! Simple, easy to follow instructions. Not the cheapest from a price viewpoint, but high quality makes it a great value. I am totally satisfied with this product.
