Just like the title- it is a very attractive design, and very easy to install. I highly recommend this if you need a bar like this.
Does the job and good value,

We purchased a 196's home with an glass enclosed shower/bathtub that screamed 80's. Ugh. We're working to restore the home to its 60's mid-century simplicity and the gross hard water stained enclosure had to go. More importantly, we have two smalls kids and giving them a bath in a enclose bath is really hard. So the enclosure was free-cycled and then we were stuck on finding an L-shaped rod that would fit.

This curtain rod is substantial. Heavy enough to be of high quality, but not so heavy that it is difficult to hang (or pulls itself down at the bend). However, as they recommend, some kind of ceiling support is recommended. I lasted about 2 weeks before I got worried, and purchased something to support it from the ceiling at the bend - This rod will not remain level without it (but if properly angled from the wall, it doesn't totally fall down).
The rod was easy for me to install, because I was replacing an old one that required the same type of wall hardware. If you are installing fresh, it may take a while to find the proper area to properly support from the wall.
All in all, if you don't have an inset tub, and you need an L-shaped rod, I highly...Read more
