Review on Enhance Your Windows With Meriville'S Renaissance Gold Bird Finials Curtain Rod - Adjustable 28-48 Inches Black Rod by Holly Rodriguez

I bought this rod for my 74” living room window, and they are lovely. I had waited for the Renaissance gold to come back into stock and it was worth it; additionally, the seller seems to have taken some customer advice, because the finials came packed in styrofoam and neither were broken. The way that the rods are secured into place made it a little difficult to put the fixtures into the wall, but they’re plenty sturdy. The only flaws I could really warn of are that: firstly, the instructions in the box note that I was supposed to have three rods so that it could expand the full 84”. Without it, it can not, and I happen to be so lucky as to not actually need the third rod, but it was a closer call than I would’ve liked since I hang heavy curtains. Secondly, the finials screw into the ends of the rods in a funny way, such that if you were to tighten them both entirely, they wouldn’t be even with each other. I got around this by mostly tightening the one on the right, so that I was secure enough to balance upright. It’s good enough for me, but as the finials are fragile, a larger margin of error would have caused it to swing around of its own weight and hit the wall, risking damage to both it and my wall.Overall, these have been sturdy, cute, and after three months have caused me no issue of import. If you like them, the risk seems manageable.
