Review on Black Telescoping Double Curtain Rod With 1-Inch Diameter Ball Finials, Adjustable From 28-Inch To 48-Inch - Meriville by Mary Brown

Revainrating 3 out of 5

End finial looked like a giant silver Christmas ornament - Recommend a different color or smaller finial

It's hard to find double curtain rods. I liked that these have enough space that if I wanted to put a grommet curtain on the front and the back rail, there was space (you still had to hold onto whichever set you didn't want to move, but it was possible, whereas a lot of double rails only have space for curtains with a sleeve and I don't like how much harder those are to open). The big issue that we had with these is that the end finial is HUGE. Like, Christmas ornament huge. Because of the shiny silver look (which we liked because it matches the grommet on most curtains exactly) that giant finial just looked cheap and distracting.One thing I did not like is that when I went to return, I was charged $10 per pair to send back through UPS. I always use Prime and hate when it's not obvious which items do not qualify for free return shipping. I wrote to ebay and they are usually good about sending a label for free anyway, but it's an extra hassle and I'd rather just send them back at the same time as I'm returning the curtains that we bought with them.I would use the same company again and buy another double rod, but with a less obtrusive finial or, at least, a much less shiny finish where a large ball wouldn't look so odd.
