Review on Umbra 244939-038 Ceiling-Mount Bracket for Drapery Rod, Matte Black, Set of 2: Effortlessly Stylish and Sturdy Ceiling Mount Solution by Gary Generale

Revainrating 5 out of 5

beautiful but poorly designed. Breaks off at the base in light winds.

I bought 4 pairs of these brackets to replace my old brackets for outdoor porch use. Although they are very beautiful, they are poorly built. Less than 2 weeks after the curtains were installed and hung, they fell off at the base in a light wind. They have not been broken by storms or strong winds. My curtains were tied down the center to reduce panel flapping. My old mounts have been in use for 4 years and have never cracked from rust spots. I thought these nickels were good and didn't rust. However, the mounts are hollow and won't withstand light winds.

Pros
  • Each bracket is 3-1/2" long and has a base diameter of 1-7/8"; fits curtain rods up to 2-1/2 cm in diameter
Cons
  • Almost never
