Maytex Easy Install Drapery Window Curtain Rod, No Measuring Needed, 18" - 48", with Decorative Ball Finials, Brushed Nickel

As soon as I opened the box, I told myself, “This can’t work. It can’t be easy.” As I put them up I told myself, “These are going to be like the flimsy spring loaded curtain rods that I had when I was in college. I’ll put them up and they’ll fall down the next day.” Well, it really was that easy and these are definitely sturdy curtain rods. I hung some heavy insulated curtains and they’re just fine. The design is pure genius!

These curtain rods were a struggle to install mainly because I live alone and am not handy. For you average person with someone living with you to help, it would be a breeze. The instructions are very clear and easy to follow. Only confusing thing was the part about sheetrock vs wood. Luckily I figured out I was going into wood and didn’t have to use the plastic things. There is a guide if you want to install them slightly above your window frame. It’s fairly easy to use. Mine came out very level despite my lack of experience! If I can hang these rods, you probably can too.

These are really nice, sturdy, well made rods & very easy to install. I orderd 2 in the oil rubbed bronze & one in antique brass. At first I thought the silver was shipped by mistake but all the packaging clearly is marked antique brass. They do not look either brass or silver but actually a silvery antique gold (if that makes sense) I almost sent it back but went ahead and installed anyway. Once up they are very attractive, the finish is brushed although not quite the brass I would have liked.

These are awesome. I'm a single woman and had to hang these rods myself. The instructions are so simple and clear. Just need a drill that is also a screwdriver. You may need to drill holes for the screws. It takes 5 minutes to hang these. I love them.

I used these with blackout curtains. They only come with one center bracket and my rod is sagging due to weight. I inquired about buying additional brackets and they do not sell them separately. They only extend 2 inches from the wall and normal brackets extend 3 inches so I cannot find an extra bracket that will fit. I will probably have to replace the rod because the curtains do not look good.

Very easy to hang. Rods seem too thick to me but I was able to yank curtains on it. Best for curtains with grommets or loops. I don't really like how big the finials are considering these aren't long enough for sliders

For $60 I expect hardware! I had no instructions, no hardware and the center bracket was missing. All items were thrown into a box, not in original packaging, so balls on ends were dented. Horrible. Returning immediately

DIFFERENT COLOR. The old oiled bronze color I got months ago (top) is much much darker than the new oiled bronze color (bottom) I just got in the mail yesterday. It’s frustrating because now I can’t match the old and new color to other rooms. It doesn’t match any of the other color selections either, so they changed the overall color and kept the name. That’s really not fair.

Very easy to install, although the centre hook is more difficult to put at the right height.The centre hook would be sturdier and better bear loads if its mounting pegs were on the vertical plane instead of horizontal plane.The brushed silver color is much more expensive than its bronze equivalent, which I don't understand.
