AmazonBasics Tension Curtain Rod Nickel Review

Save yourself the hassle and worry of springless drawbars. This thing can take quite a bit of weight and hasn't been dropped once in the months since I've bought it. I really wish the transition between the inner and outer rods was a little easier for my shower curtain hooks - they tend to snag. If you use blind hooks you'll probably be fine.

As described. I didn't use a bathroom curtain, I used it as a grommet for the regular window curtains and as you can see the grommet when the curtains are open I had to buy something lighter in colour. It looks expensive and edgy and holds heavy velor curtains very easily while my old one double bent under the weight of the curtains. Definitely recommend this for a shower curtain or as a curtain for regular curtains.

The length of the tail is right. Be sure to measure the width of the room you're using it in before choosing your pole length and you shouldn't have any problems. It was easy to use, just like any other pull bar on the market. You simply twist until it is snug. I can't tell you if there are any rust issues as I use mine in the kitchen so there is no moisture. I love it and highly recommend it. No frills design, low profile, no tools or setup required. Great color options too.

This product is a hollow metal tube with two rubber caps that are poorly glued at the ends. Mine arrived with the lid already off and in the box. The other cap was barely halfway on and fell off when touched. Either the glue is bad to begin with or it has sat in storage long enough for the glue to rot. It has an aged yellow look. I didn't have to pull out my own super glue to fix something new. One end of the rod wasn't fully screwed in either. Simple solution but still means poor…
