Eclipse EC Black Wrap Around Window Curtain Rod, Adjustable Size 28-48 inches Review

This rod is simply amazing. I used to have curtain rods, but they were a nightmare when it came time to wash the curtains. It was so easy to install and it has a little black pin to hold the pole in place. When it's time to wash your curtains, just grab a pin and peel off the curtains. The black color gives a neutral yet classy look. And best of all, the rod is very stable so you can move/close the curtains for privacy. Ideal for use in the bathroom where you may need to move them frequently.

The frame itself is strong enough to easily hold 2 blackout curtains. But the included screws for mounting are rubbish. When trying to drill a bolt, it broke off immediately. I pre-drilled the hole. The pins that hold the plank in the wall slots are just cheap unthreaded bolts that fall through the holes. The curtains and rod are held in place by a simple piece of metal through two holes. It's good for a garage or hidden window, but not strong enough or good enough for a main room.

While I like the overall look of this rod I would buy a higher quality one. My curtains are light, so I don't mind, but I definitely don't trust anything heavy. Having read other reviews I was also unprepared for not being given any actual hanging instructions. The skilled craftsman had to move away from him to regroup as he was very difficult to hang. Even additional screws that were bought didn't want to hold. Skip this release and look for a higher quality product.

Nothing wrong with this bar except the screw it comes with. The item itself is in excellent condition, looks good and is quite durable. The screws appear to be made of tinfoil (not exactly, but just as thin). I wanted to screw in the first screw and it fell off immediately. With this design, it took me half an hour to unscrew the broken screw. Instead I used standard drywall screws and it was the perfect replacement. It would be a 5 star rating if they sent devices that were worth something.
