This polished brass shower curtain rod is everything they promised and more. It is a permanent mount but not hard to install. This is not one of those cheap, brass colored rods. This is genuine polished brass and incredibly strong.

This is a heavy guage, genuine polished brass rod. You will not have to worry about it bending. I was expecting a 60" rod but received a 72" one instead, but it was easy to cut to desired length with a band saw. Be sure to smooth the freshly cut end of the rod with a file so you don't get metal slivers in your hand while you are working with it. This goes for any cut metal.

The rod is actually two pieces coupled with an inner sleeve which gives it great strength.

The picture shows flanges, so it thought they would come with the bar. This is deceptive--you have to scroll down to find out that the bar comes without flanges, and the flanges turn out to be quite expensive. I can't rate the product, because I can't mount it yet.

This rod is beautiful! Much nicer than we could find at the store. My husband had no trouble installing it. Very happy with purchase!
