Review on Decopolitan Urn Telescoping Double Drapery Rod Set, 72-144", Antique Bronze by Skye Gunnell

Many other reviews complained about product durability, but the brackets and rods I received seem totally adequate to support the curtains I bought.Several reviewers noted that the design of the brackets was such that it was difficult to install the mounting screws due the shape/design of bracket that interfered with getting the screwdriver onto the screw. Based on some pictures attached to those reviews I, too, was worried, so I purchased a small offset ratchet screwdriver just in case. But it appears the manufacturer may have addressed this design issue, and I was able to install the brackets quite easily, and it was virtually a straight shot for the screwdriver to drive the screws.Another main complaint of reviewers was that for installations between 8 and 12 feet there was an unsightly section for both the larger and smaller rods where the inner rod was exposed, because the inner tube has a smaller diameter in order to telescope into the outer tubes. I can appreciate that complaint, but for me the finished width of my curtains was about 8 feet total, so the smaller diameter inner tube wasn't exposed at all, so there was no unsightly step down in diameter toward the middle of the rods. So for me that was a non-issue. The inner smaller diameter tube for each set of rods served only to join the two larger diameter tubes.The complete installation took about an hour, and the final result looks great. I'd buy these rods again for the same size curtains, but I'd probably think twice for curtains wider that 8 feet.
