I purchased this curtain rod for a rental property. The newly-installed porcelain tile on the walls surrounding the tub meant that masonry bits had to be used to drill the quarter-inch holes for the plastic anchors (not included with the rod -- you get stainless steel screws only; instructions suggest either plastic or lead anchors). I had to pay the tile contractor to do the drilling, because it took a tremendous amount of strength, and drilling into a vertical surface is very difficult.
I cut 2" off the rod, a job that took me 20 minutes! With the rod wrapped in one of those rubber jar-lid looseners and clamped in the vice, I tried all three of my hacksaws (all have good blades), but the 20-gauge stainless steel pipe did NOT want to be cut -- very tricky to even get the cut started.
Another tip: if you are using plastic anchors that have a ring/flange that stays on the surface of the tile/wall, allow for that when you shorten the rod. I measured...Read more

I bought this shower rod when we did a minor remodel of the bathroom. I was tired of the shower curtain hooks falling off when it hit the bump in the middle of the adjustable rod. This rod is one piece and the hooks slide smoothly. It is a classic style, not fancy but nice. I am giving it only 4 stars because it didn't come with any installation instructions. Maybe some people could figure it out, but we like to have directions. I was able to find the instructions on the internet. The rod is a little tricky to install. If you need to trim the rod, you have to cut it the perfect, exact length or it won't fit in the brackets. In fact we cut the rod too short and it wouldn't stay in the brackets, but we managed to rig up an extender so it would stay. (The extender is hidden under the bracket.) So be careful cutting!

Never got the product. It was lost in the mail for weeks. We could not use the shower, so we ordered it through a store. It came in the next day to the store...we picked it up, and installed it. It is a very high quality shower rod, no bumps to keep the curtain from sliding well. (the next day the rod arrived via mail!!!!)Moen 55-5 Donner Commercial 5' Stainless Shower Rod, Satin
