Double Curved Shower Curtain Rod by Better Bath

I was originally going to get one of the Monen curved shower rods. Brushed nickel, very nice, a little less $. But I figured with the double bar I'd save the extra $ and space on extra towel bars. Not sure I made the right choice.

The chrome is alright, but not fabulous. The joints on the bars are pretty visible, especially the towel bar ends when you tighten down the screws and it creates an ugly space. Hopefully I'll like it more after some use. It definitely creates more space, though I think the complete curved bars look nicer than this one that is straight, curved, straight.

I was really expecting a more substantial rod. This one is hollow core and the rod itself is pretty thin. But, it does add space to a tight shower space and the towel rod is helpful in a multi-member family bath. I'd give it a 6 out of 10

We have a small shower and I love the curved design of this rod, it creates more space in a small bathroom shower and also provides a great place for towels. However, we installed ours a year ago, and its already rusting. I'm unhappy about that. I'd expect it to last longer for the price.
