Review on Blackout Curtain Rod, 1-Inch Diameter, Wrap Around Design, Pewter Finish, Adjustable Length 48"-84" - Meriville by James Notti

These work perfectly to cover my 6' sliding glass doors and I do not have to use the enclosed center support bracket. I wanted to only use one curtain panel that could be pushed all the way to one side when not needed and these curtain rods work perfectly. For a distance of 72" they are sturdy and do not sag. If the distance were longer you might need the center bracket but for this distance you do not. The curtains are opened and closed on a daily basis and the rod has held up well. Super easy to install; just screw the brackets on and the rod fits on tightly with a set screw.
