Wallniture Curtain Rod Set for Tapestry, Kids Crafts, Wall Decor Picture Hanging Kit with 24 Metal Clips

This was fairly easy to install, although it took some time to figure out the instructions (as usual with almost anything). I used the video more than the printed instructions. Both are very minimal and would be better with some details. No problems, though, and it seems sturdy — so far. I was lucky to have solid wood to screw it into; it's an old house (late 1800s) turned into apartments, so there's nothing like studs 16" inches apart. It was a little tough to get the wire into the 2nd thing (after the first one was in and I stretched it out — Part B into Part A, I think) after I put the curtains on the wire due to the weight, but it worked out. No complaints! It's just what I wanted. I'm sure I'd buy another one if I needed it. (It's only been up for a couple of hours, so who knows. But I think it will be fine.) PS I would like to add that it's really not that complicated. I've read a couple other reviews... I didn't even use a drill. I used a skinny screw and a screwdriver to make the pilot hole. If you're not handy, sure, it might be difficult. But if you have basic skills, insulation is pretty easy And it's still holding up! Glad I got it.

I got this to hang a tapestry. Very good product. Other tools are needed (cable cutters,drill,stud finder,level)but easy to put up in my opinion. Comes with hooked clips for hanging and an abundance of cable so length won't be an issue. The cable is very strong, so if you don't have quality cable cutters it will fray when you try and cut it to length. I have a heavy duty sheet steel snipper that can cut solid steel thicker than this cable and I barely managed to so its no joke strong. As long as its mounted in a stud its very sturdy, the cable included is a generous length, and its parts and clips are all metal and high quality

Item does exactly as described, which is what we wanted it for. The directions were good, but this is not an easy item to install. The cable is definitely strong, my husbands wire cutters could not cut it so he used the Dremel. We have very light curtains (4) hanging and The cable is sagging slightly but we have it crossing a very long window. Overall we are happy with it. They give you plenty of cable, and all the parts and instructions came in the package.

I bought one of these to test out hanging some sheer drapes across a span of 3-4 windows. I didn't want big bulky hardware, and didn't want a lot of sag in the wire. I ended up not using the clips and just ran the wire through the drape loops. I was so impressed with the build quality, strength and clean look, I happily bought two more to finish off the room. The drapes slide open/closed easily, even without the clips. Easy installation if you are at all handy.

I thought this was going to be hard to install and was going to need help doing it. How yo was able to install this myself. I bought it to hang curtains outside on our porch ( the sun was making it unusable) it took me maybe 15 minutes to install it. So far it's holding up outside well. I am very pleased with it. However the clips stick to each other often. I tried to close the hooks so this wouldn't happen but then hey still do. Maybe use rings instead of a hooks for the clips it would be better

I wish I could give 2 ratings - one for how it looks (five stars), one for the installation process (one star). I bought two of these to display my three-year-old's artwork. They look amazing and I'm so glad I bought them. But the instructions were lousy. I've always been a really handy woman but if I had tackled this project a few years ago (before I had a job where I use tools everyday), I would have really screwed it up and called my dad to bail me out. First - you will need a drill, an assortment of bits, and a stud sensor. The kit comes with those plastic wall anchors, but given the tension required to hold the wire up plus the weight of whatever you're hanging, it seems essential to find a stud. I think it'd be a disaster to use those stupid wall anchors. Second, you will need a tape measure and level. I was lucky enough to borrow my dad's laser level but I bet I could have figured it out the old fashioned way, too. Third, you will need a pair of good wire cutters. I used some small ones I own to cut necklace wire and it didn't work well at all. If I had been doing the job at a decent hour, I would have borrowed some regular wire cutters from the neighbor. My hand is sore from using those small cutters and I think I probably ruined them for future use. I'm using these to display artwork, but my instructions should work if you're hanging curtains, too. So, after you've marked your studs and made sure your holes will be level, drill a pilot hole for the screws that go into the wall. (I would have remembered what size bit I used, but I honestly didn't think I'd be drafting an instruction manual) All the parts use the same tiny allen wrench, including these. This is a really poor design flaw, because it's really easy to strip the screw and mess up the cheapo allen wrench. Had I not bought two of these, I would have been temporarily defeated at this point - I was able to open the other package and use the second allen wrench for the rest of the job. So, just completely omit the allen wrench for this part. You can fully attach the next fastener (the one that bends at a 90 degree angle) to the screw and then use it as a lever to twist it into the wall. Be very careful with this part - I was anxious the whole time because I was sure I would strip the 90 degree fastener too. Luckily, it worked as I had already stripped the allen-head on the screws. Measure the distance between the holes you drilled and cut your wire. ***Include SEVERAL inches of extra wire - it's easier to cut if it's too long than it is to go out and buy new wire. Next, you'll put the part that looks like a bullet on the wire, with the threads facing the end. I had to go through the hole with a drill bit because there was debris in the hole and the wire wouldn't fit. Take the small part with two allen-head set-screws, loosen the screws and place it over the wire. Tighten the set-screws, leaving yourself 1/2-1 inch wire sticking out the end. Now align the end of the wire with the 90 degree fastener (attached to the wall) and screw the bullet on (sandwiching the small part surrounding the wire between the fasteners). You will be tempted to screw the bullet all the way in - don't. Attach it until it just covers the threads - you'll have time to adjust the tension later. Do the same thing with the other end - remember to put the bullet on the wire first. At this point unless you are really lucky, you'll have to move the fastener with the set-screw up and down your wire until the tension is where you want it. You may even have to trim your wire. If you've cut your wire too short, remember you have 1/2-1 inch extra on the other side and you can use it if it will help. Once you've got the right length, adjust the bullets so they hold a nice tension on the wire and the fasteners look even. If you're like me, you'll have spare parts. The plastic wall anchors (you'd be nuts to use), and two little fasteners with one set-screw in them. If you are using this for curtains, these fit over the wire to stop the hooks from sliding onto the end brackets. They clip onto the wire and you tighten the set screw where you want them. I hope this helps you! Start to finish, with a few Oreo breaks, it took me about an hour and fifteen minutes to install 2. Good luck!

I see a lot of people complaining about poor installation instructions, however, in the product package is a message directing users to an installation video on YouTube. The video is *extremely* helpful and made installation a breeze! The product seems sturdy and very well made. I used this to hang curtains over a closet area where doors were not an option. Very pleased with the price, ease of use and result. Highly recommend.

The final installation step is to tighten the tube (part B) onto the wall bracket (part A). The problem is that the inside of the tube is not smooth, so, as the cable becomes taught, the cable stop (part C) inside the tube catches on the inside of the tube and starts spinning the cable. This loosens the far end of the cable. To fix this, take a pair of lineman's pliers (see picture) and, as you are tightening part B, pull the cable with the lineman's pliers towards part B, so part C stays away from the tip of the cone until the cable is tight. Pull the cable carefully, straight towards part B, so as not to put a kink in the cable. If you don't do this, tightening the cable is very frustrating, and if you trouble shoot by loosening and tightening the cable stop repeatedly, after a few cycles the set screws in the cable stop will strip. Note that there are only 2 cable stops, the other 2 stops are curtain stops (they have a groove to allow them to be put on the cable later). For our install, after the cable stop stripped, we tried calling the phone number to get a new part C, but we could never get an answer. I had already drilled holes and installed the wall brackets in my finish wood work, so I didn't want to tear it out and have to repair that mess. So we ordered another set, leaving the wall brackets in place, used the new cable and part C's with the tip above, and installation was a breeze. Then returned the defective set with the stripped cable stop.

Quizá para cortinas muy ligeras sea una buena opción, en general es un buen producto pero creo que el enfoque es para manualidades
