Review on 🔖 Ivilon Drapery Window Curtain Rod - End Cap Style Design 1 Inch Pole: 28-48 Inch, Black by Chris Kirby

I have ordered several similar rods from different brands and this Ivilon rod is much nicer than the Allen+Roth and Meriville rods I have compared it to. Design, processing quality, workmanship - everything at the highest level. The Allen + Roth bar came in three pieces that were a bit loose in the middle and had a few small white dots on the black paint. The Meriville rod had some small dents in a couple of spots and quite horrible coloring that looked blotchy in the mirror. This rod had none of those issues. The coloring was perfect and the stem is a two piece construction which at least in my use case doesn't sag at all, but I use the stem at almost the minimum length so I can't tell how it sits when extended. I almost didn't order this because one review had scratches and paint that rubbed off and got on the guys hands but I haven't had any such issues at all. I'm wondering if somehow it was sent back that someone had damaged and varnished or something, or maybe it was just a spoiled batch. I am not sure. Note. In one of my photos the wand looks shinier than it really is because I lightened the photo so I can see the wand better, but it's actually a nice matte finish, not glossy.
