Questions & Answers
It's 27mm long, according to my measurements. Height: 42 mm
They're two rods extended, so there's a bump in the middle, which is understandable. The curtain will go to the support if you use the center support, which I really like.
If I had to guess, it would be less than a pound.
For that component, you'll need to contact the seller.

Like most curtain rods that extend out, this set's rod is thinner on the side that extends out. Because one hole is designed for the thin end of the rod and the other for the thicker end, the wall mount holes you receive account for this. This may not seem like a big deal to you, but I wish I had realized this before mounting the mounts because I would have installed them on the opposite side. The reason for this is that when you close the curtains, there is a bump in the middle of the rod where the thin rod extends from the thick rod, and the curtains get caught on it. In my case, I usually close one curtain panel at a time, and since this is the side with the bump, my panel gets stuck on occasion. It would not be a problem if I had installed the rod holders differently. "Why not just unscrew the mounts and reverse them?" you might think. " Yes, I could, but it's not a major issue for me, and I'm fine with it as is. " All of this is just so the next person who buys these can be informed. The rods themselves are fine; they are a little thinner than I had anticipated, but I believe they will hold my blackout shades in place. Before you mount your curtain panels, think about how you'll open and close them, as this may affect which side of the rod gets the thicker side.
The rod is simple to assemble, but installing it in the wall is more difficult. Even with the middle piece for support, the weight of my curtains keeps pulling it away from the wall, so I'll have to get something more sturdy.
So, for my apartment, I've been on the lookout for good curtain rods. I needed something thick and long enough to stretch beyond 48". These are excellent; my curtains have metal grommets, which make them heavier (of course). I installed these curtains by myself, but I imagine having a team of two would make it go more smoothly. The curtains come with wall anchors, which I recommend using if your curtains are on the heavy side. These curtain rods are incredible; they can support the weight of my curtains and block almost all light when you go to bed. What a fantastic curtain rod! The money was well spent. It even helps to reduce external noise. Overall, this purchase has exceeded my expectations.
These curtain rods wrap around the corner, allowing your blackout curtains to block any light that would normally come through the side of standard curtains or rods. If you work nights and sleep during the day, they make a world of difference. During the day, our bedroom is pitch black; however, because they're such a good deal and I like the way they look, I mixed them in with regular sheer curtains in areas where we don't need to black out.
It, like others, is telescoping, so you can adjust the size as needed. It's the same size as what's on the label. After you've mounted the ends to the wall, simply insert the rod and secure it with a pin in each end's hole. Easy. My heavy light-blocking curtains have not warped or bowed in the three months that I've had them up - It still appears to be in good condition. It will be simple to remove the curtains if I ever need to do so, as I only need to remove two pins. After three months of sliding curtains back and forth across the bar, the bar is still free of scratches and looks brand new.
The screws that come with the kit are completely useless. The brackets were small enough to fit between the ceiling and the frame of a basement window, so I purchased them. Regrettably, the design includes security pins that fall into the mounting bracket's top. There are no screws, tension pins, or anything like that. Because they rely solely on gravity for security, I'm out of luck. I won't be able to put the pins in the top if I put them in, so the bar will fall out. The pins will fall out if I turn the brackets around. I'll have to come up with a different way to stuff the pinhole. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> I figured out a way to fix the pin problem, so I went ahead and installed it. The screws that hold the brackets in place are terrible. I used them to drill holes in wood. Even though I drilled a large pilot hole, they still stripped with very little force. It irritates me a lot.
This product is overpriced in my opinion, but it is so simple to install that even a child could do it. It comes with screws rather than nails, and it has two pins that secure the rod to the brackets. The only thing I don't like about it is the pens, which I believe should have been replaced with quick-release spring pins. These rods have a good amount of stability, but because the steel isn't of the highest quality, I wouldn't recommend them for extremely heavy curtains, though they would probably work fine. When installing these, I recommend using a screw gun because there is only one screw to put in per bracket, making the job much easier. Also, make sure the pin hole is on the top; otherwise, the pins will fall out, and your curtains will fall to the ground.
They must have revamped the product because it is now more solid and metal, as it was previously purchased and was plastic.
