Attractive rod, poor design

Like other similar products, this rod has flange covers on each end to hide the mounting plate and screws. However, the lids have no thread. They snap into place and cannot be removed non-destructively. The instructions are very clear, don't reattach them until the bar is securely in place. But the rod arrived with one flange cover already attached and the other partially secured. They would not come off without bending or deforming the lid. I really needed to install the bar without waiting for a replacement. So I drilled the covers and screwed them to the wall with brass screws. Works as it should. But that's a ridiculous design flaw. Even if it arrived with flange covers loose, it could never be removed and moved to some future time.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • So far so good
