Review on Chrome Shower Curtain Rod, Adjustable From 54-90 Inches With Rust-Resistance - Amazer Spring Tension Bathroom Rod by Bob Novitsky

We’re using this rod (with a decorative shower curtain) to close off the entrance to one room of the house, an opening roughly 60 inches across. The rod was relatively easy to install and held tension very well. That was March 16th. In June, it seemed to slip a little at one end and I made some changes to how it was located on the wall & the problem seemed fixed. It suddenly fell (with no one near it) late in August so I re-positioned it again. It fell late one night in late October, and needed adjusting about once a week after that (we could see one end or another slipping slightly). It fell early this month, then fell again a few days ago — but now there is no compressibility to create tension, The rod can be twisted to adjust its length but the spring inside seems to have either completely failed or at least become disconnected. Also, after adjusting the length, if I tilt either end up that side of the rod will begin spinning and it will contract to its minimum size. I’ve ordered a different replacement with a slightly higher rating and have my fingers crossed. This rod failed completely in about 9 months with only a standard shower curtain attached and while adjust to a length a full foot shorter than it’s advertised maximum, with only minimal intermittent (and light) pulling of the curtain to either side. Definitely a disappointment.
