Moen DN2145BN Inspirations 5-foot Low-Profile Curved Shower Rod, Brushed Nickel

I think that this is cleanest looking shower curtain rod available - especially the end caps that cover the screws. I've also found that the curved feature does add a lot of spaciousness when in the shower.

I found that the installation was a little tricky because I had to cut about an inch off the length to get a proper fit. It's important when cutting off the tube that the exact same angle and orientation as the original end be maintained because this is how it stays in place.

I was very careful in getting both the exact measurement and correct angle so it installed perfectly, however I'm pretty good at this type thing and have all the correct tools. If you're not skilled in doing projects like this then you should get a mechanical/tech type friend (or proficient handyman) to help.

This curved shower rod replaced another one we'd bought on Amazon. The other one wasn't as expensive as this Moen rod; however, the other one began rusting after about a year. This Moen rod is more expensive, but we believe the quality is worth the extra money. Plus, the Amazon retailer (Buy Plumbing) has it priced way below Moen's suggested retail of around $60. Also, before we ordered this, we called Moen about rusting, and their rep said it has Moen's Limited Lifetime Warranty. Now, installation wasn't simple. We had to cut one end a couple times before we got it to fit (the included instructions do state you may need to cut the rod). We have a DeWalt miter saw with a metal cutting blade. So, cutting wasn't too bad. Cutting this pipe with a hack saw might be challenging to say the least! Anyway, if you're looking for quality, you'll be happy with this rod.

I wanted one of these for a long time since I've a shower with a curved curtain rod in a hotel... and now that I have it at home it works as well as I remember! No more clinging shower curtain! No more hitting shower curtain with my elbows!

The installation was fairly easy, I was able to do it alone without help. I am not very good with tools, so I had to measure everything three times to make sure it was right, so it took me about 45 minutes. The rod has been installed for about 1 year now. It shows no rusting and I am very pleased with it.

I noticed that the price on the on this product fluctuates. There is a nice online tool that I use to help catch a good price on Amazon, this tool is called "Online Price Alert". This tool will send you an email when the Amazon item price reaches the target price range that you specify. If you search on "online price alert" in Google it will be come up at the top. I find this tool to be very helpful.
