Review on Light Gold Decopolitan 72-144-Inch Urn Curtain Rod Set by Tonya Fisher

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Beautiful once installed but seriouse design flaw for mounting/installing

I LOVE the look of the Decopolitan 1-Inch Urn Single Window Treatment Rod Set, 72 to 144-Inch, Black/Antique Bronze Finish!Now that it is hung up I am so happy with it.I read all the reviews before purchasing. as almost everyone/if not everyone stated there is a design flaw in this making it a huge pain in the bootey to install. I kept searching for something of the same look but just couldn't find anything else so I settled on this one, I did take another reviewers advice and ordered the Maxcraft 60601 flex ratchet screwdriver which they said they purchased for $10.91 - I purchased it for $12.99. Because the rod set is so long it needs more than one person to install it.and who am I kidding I was never installing it, I got all the stuff out for my husband to do and I planned to help hold the rod when he needed or pass him tools, screws etc.Well, he was not a fan of the pretty Decopolitan Window Treatment! He complained the entire time he was installing it, said yes there fore sure is a design flaw as trying to get the top screw in is near impossible. He did however get it done.But, the Maxcraft 6061 flex ratchet was of no use to us for installing the window treatment rod. I tried to return it online via Walmart but, received an error code that it is not returnable, after a quick chat with an Walmart Representative I was credited back the purchase price of the $12.99 for the Maxcraft. So, save yourself some $ and don't get it for this install. Know ahead of time that it will be a pain to install but, it can be done with perseverance.The curtains are H.Versailtex Clearance Curtains Extra Wide Textured Linen Finishing Thermal Insulated Room Darkening Patio Curtains with Antique Grommet Top,96 by 84 Inch-Green Olive-1 Panel in
