Room/Dividers/Now Tension Curtain Rod - Adjustable Shower Curtain Rod - Durable Tension Rods for Window, Doorways, and Room Dividers - Extendable 48-80 Inches - Strong Hold in White

I searched high and low for a high polished, gold tone shower curtain rod. Nothing else would do as I have high polished, gold tone Grohe bath fixtures in my bathroom. The faucet on my jacuzzi tub is massive and very dramatic so putting up any other color rod would not have worked. I couldn't believe how impossible it was to find what I was looking for. I came across a handful of gold shower curtain rods but they were all around $100. I don't mind spending money to decorate my home but for me, I couldn't see spending that much on a shower curtain rod. This "room divider" popped up in my search so I put it in my cart as I continued looking. I would have purchased it immediately but I read the comment from the seller stating it shouldn't be used as a shower curtain rod because it would eventually rust but how many of us have had actual shower curtain rods rust over time? Me! I purchased this anyway because I always wipe down my shower and fixtures after I shower, including the curtain rod so I don't see this rusting anytime soon. A review below states you can't make it shorter once you pull it out but that's not the case. It easily goes from long to short and back again. Another review states it tricky? There's nothing tricky about it. A 3rd grader could put this up. Takes 2 minutes. The rod is beautiful. It's very, very smooth and very shiny deep gold. Sometimes shiny gold tone can look cheap. This doesn't! My gold rollerball curtain hooks slide across this rod like a dream! The suction cups are excellent. I have an Italian porcelain tile up the walls in my shower that have a very slight "wave" texture. This rod sticks to it like nobody's business. Very tight and secure. I purchased the rod that goes to 50". My shower is 101" high and 45" wide. It's perfect and it looks EXACTLY like a shower curtain rod. Nobody will ever know it's a "room divider." I am extremely pleased with this product! The ease of use, the perfect shiny gold, the incredible smoothness make it well worth $30. I would recommend this product to a friend or family member. (ps: if you like my shower curtain it's Tahari which I also purchased here on Amazon. it's beautiful!) thank you seller & AMAZON!

This is so convenient especially when you're in a pinch. I wanted to wait about 2 weeks before submitting my review. I was genuinely surprised by the quality and build. I did quite a bit of research. I think we've all been there. You scroll and scroll and filter out items by star rating and even price and even then you have your doubts. I narrowed it down between this and three different items and did a comparison of all four. In the end, this one had the better reviews and it was also aesthetically pleasing, when compared to the other three. The first thing I noticed about this item after a few days was nothing had fallen down, even with the addition of heavy blackout curtains. There really isn't enough time in the day to review things but this was actually worth taking a moment to share and maybe helping others cut down the time they search. I am certainly glad my search is over. LOL

This is a quality product, I bought one to try, then two more to hang curtains in three sliders- 6', 8', and 12'. I wanted the curtains to be inside the slider opening as there isn't room to mount them above or out the sides. I used curtains with grommets that slide along the poles. The 6' pole was easy to install, no issues. The pole kept sliding down in the 8' slider opening, studying it I could see the problem was not the pole but the sides the pole pushed against- they were not parallel, and slippery plastic, so the pole did not grip well. I fixed that by putting a bead of hot melt glue under the pole ends to stop the sliding. (it sticks, but can be scraped off) The 12' pole sagged an inch or so in the middle, so I added a support to hold up the middle. It's now flat, and since the curtains open in the middle it's not in the way. This was a quick, easy, and inexpensive solution to my curtain problem.

Needed a tension pole to hold up a room separating curtain in this fit the bill. Somewhat easy to install but you have to takeoff the endcap in order to put the curtain on the rod. This involves loosening a small set screw that is made of poor quality and strips very easily. After getting the rod set to the tension you need, you just compress it and let it expand in the opening. The rod has not moved at all since originally being installed and I am very happy with the finished product. My only wish was that better material was used in the manufacture of the setscrew as I can see this completely failing on any attempt to change the curtain in the future.

The 2 best features of this tension rod are the extra-long length and the wide, non-marring flanges on the ends. When you need a tension rod longer than a standard “bathtub” length, this is the company to go with. This tension rod is great for wider spans — I needed one to span about 124 inches in a “temporary” space where I couldn’t drill or use installation hardware and this one worked perfectly! The flanges on the ends have a non-marring coating on the sides that touch the wall and the wider “foot” of the flange keeps it from digging into the wall, or “walking” down the wall while installing it. After all, you’re usually using a tension rod to keep from damaging your walls with installation hardware or marring your walls when using for a temporary or changeable situation. I also like the silver color/finish — it’s a beautiful “brushed metal” finish (not a cheap looking shiny chrome). This item requires some assembly, but all tools (2 Allen wrenches) are included, it only takes a few minutes and can be accomplished by one person. One assembled, you can easily adjust the length to the span required and install just as any other tension rod. I would definitely consider buying a shorter version of this if I even needed just a “standard” length tension rod because the quality is so much better than cheaper “bathtub” length rods that you find elsewhere from different companies. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!

My bedroom window is 106" wide, wall to wall, and my landlord has a very strict "no holes in the wall" policy. Since I already know I'm only going to be living here for one more year, and I'd really rather not have to worry about dealing with my landlord, I've been hoping to find a way to hang blackout curtains without drilling in the wall. So I was really excited when I discovered this tension rod that's both long enough and strong enough to hold curtains without falling down. It's exactly what I needed. I ordered the used version for $29.95, and couldn't really tell what was "used" about it, except that it was missing a part when it arrived (a rubber piece on one side where the rod meets the wall), but after I contacted the seller through Amazon and explained what was missing, they sent a replacement part and everything was fine. I'm very satisfied with the product. It hasn't fallen even once, and it doesn't seem to sag in the middle at all. This could be because there's not too much weight on it. I'm only hanging two blackout panels from the rod, sideways using drapery rings, because the window is short and the heat registers on the floor mean the curtains can't hang down to the floor (plus it was cheaper to only have to buy two extra long panels to cover the whole width of the window)

I've used these rods (each a new one) in varying sizes in many apartments and they've all done the job. Sometimes they need a center support and that works, too. They aren't the most good looking decor for rods but they are simple and get the job done. I've used them with hooks and rings combo and with curtains that have grommets. The way to dress it up a bit is to use some good quality curtains. So this time around I got some I used in the past from a quality store, with grommets, as I did before but this time in a light color. And wow. I won't do that again. First, unlike the other black rods from RD that I've gotten in the past, the black is scraping off in places from the grommets (I assume) going back and forth. But worse, the black is marking up the white linen where it hits the rod when fully closed. And it's permanent. Won't come off. That's a new one for me. Never happened with past rods of the same, nor same curtains with same grommets, different color. The good news is that it is far enough up that you'd have to really look for the marks and the rod discoloration, so I'm gonna live it. The bad news same as good news. The curtains were not inexpensive. Here are my general pros and cons after 5 years using this brand. Pros: Easy to install and if you have walls that mar easily, a felt chair dot applied to the end caps is a quick remedy as long as you make sure the tension is tight. The center support from the same folks works great and looks pretty nice and is adjustable so easy to use when your ceiling to rod height might be variable. It's a great way to not have to deal with adding holes in the walls for a rental. I've always found the company to be helpful, quick to reply, and they will endeavor to help when asked. Cons: For longer rods, a two person team is useful to get the rod pushed on. Beware that some rods may have a finish issue like mine (dunno why) and the dark colors may come off. This one is more personal than general: tension rods great for not wanting to put holes in the wall if it's a rental but harder to get curtains on and off cause you have to remove the rod (if the tension is good, not easy to do) and then fool around with curtains (whether washing, rearranging etc) and then go through the two-person placement again rather than lifting a rod off of supports, blah blah. Totally about me, not the poor rod. While the tension thing works itself in, the rod can slip some and will need adjusting. Not a defect, just a thing. Eventually it just stays in place. And yes, I would buy these again, but I'd think twice about black rods and white linen.

I'll try to upload pics at some point, but I just wanted to say that I've been very happy with this rod. I use it daily and it's never even budged. I will say, I may have made it a little too tight cause it droops the tiniest bit cause of space, but I'd imagine that's very fixable if I felt like pulling it down lol. I have really tall ceilings so it's not as easy of an adjustment for me. But I would recommend this to anyone. I got the gold in the longest available.

Als erstes gibt es zu bemängeln dass keine Anleitung beiliegt. Das man das man die innen befindliche Stange rausdrehen muss habe ich bei "youtube" in Erfahrung gebracht. In der Mitte hängt die Stange cm weit durch, so dass ich diese mit einem Winkel stützen musste. Bei dem Preis war ich mehr als entsetzt. Und ich rede nicht davon das die Vorhänge schon angebracht waren. Okay, das Teil klemmt jetzt zwischen den Wänden aber über kurz oder lang werde ich mir wohl vernünftige Gardinenstangen anschaffen müssen.

it works fine but could not take heavy curtain, specially if you use the full length of the rod

I was originally upset with the supplier. I had made a mistake in ordering the wrong colour, and tried many times to get in touch with them before it was sent out and they never responded. However, I received an email from them a few days later on where they apologised for the delay in replying, saying that they strive to be excellent and because of that omission they refunded the whole amount back to me! I never asked them for a refund but they did it anyway. That goes to prove that they are a serious company. The rods themselves are excellent. Really high quality, easy to set up and very sturdy. I bought black-out curtains from John Lewis and they support them perfectly. Highly recommend the product and the supplier.

This was exactly what I needed for a 9 foot rod. My install instructions were not correct but that's ok, very easy to figure out!

It was not nearly strong enough and our curtains were very light. And it cost nearly $100 to return. Very unhappy and disappointed. I trusted this was an Amazon product... clearly it was not.
