78" ALUMINUM Closet TENSION POLE SHOWER CURTAIN rod NEW

This product is terrible, and I would strongly discourage anyone from purchasing it. I have the rod in my bathroom to hold a shower curtain. It spans approximately 72 inches. First, when hanging the rod, the ends are made of plastic and it is virtually impossible not to scrape the paint off of your walls. Further, the rod falls down constantly. I intend to purchase something else and to throw this thing in the garbage. I had assumed since this is also advertised as a closet tension pole it would be strong enough to hold a shower curtain. Essentially I reasoned that if this could hold a bunch of clothes, it will hold the curtain. That is certainly not the case. I am not certain that the rod would stay up with nothing on it. Save yourself a lot of time and frustration and do not purchase this product.

This would not catch to stay in place. Not sure why but I returned it and found another one that works well.
