MERIVILLE 1-inch Diameter Metal Spring Tension Rod, Closet Rod, Tension Curtain Rod, Shower Curtain Rod, Adjustable Length 18-inch to 30-inch, Black

I bought this to make a screen door for my daughter’s “Addy Shack” = a small-ish children’s (permanent structure) play house. That we have now converted into a tween girls space away from everyone. She loves it! But wanted more of a breeze. I was unable to find a press in place screen door the size we needed (22-23” wide). So me being a DIY’er, decided to make one. This rod is perfect! VERY sturdy, light weight, and the end caps have a silicone pad to prevent slipping once pressed in place. The twist action to extend/ retract the bar feels smooth and does not glitch. Color is true (black in my case) and does not scratch easily. The rod was able to support the weight of the screen door I made + weights added to the bottom for stability. Whole weight is about 3 lbs- after adding magnets, cloth handle and weights at the bottom + rod. I made the screen door in like 3 days, real time (I had to do in between work and other things). But it came out great and was much less expensive than doing a special order for the weird size we needed. My daughter is thrilled that she can leave the door open, catch the breeze and not let flys and such in. I would recommend this product.

These work well, as advertised. Easy to adjust and install. Took about 2 minutes to put the drapes on and install.

So - I did not buy this for the typical reason they are normally used. My dog likes to look out the bow window. She was knocking plants over and really pissing me off. I was going to get some type of child gate there - but couldn't find anything that would work for that space. This rod was long enough - still sturdy being extended sooooo long, and I like that it has a thin padding at the end - hopefully wont rip the paint off the wall when I take it down. I'm hoping this wont have to be here forever. She is just a puppy right now. And this has worked. NOTHING has been knocked over since I put this up. She can still hop up and stare out the window. This will get repurposed after the puppy chills out a bit...or it will be there forever.

Nice quality but would not work in my bronze brown metal trimmed sunroom windows. Also, the ends were white, which looked unsightly on a dark frame. I returned for a refund which I have already received. They did charge a return fee they deducted from my refund.

These are PERFECT! I went through a lot of Frogs to find this Prince of a tension rod. Ok, a little pricier than I wanted to go, but I went there. 1. They look great. 2. They are beyond easy to install. 3. They are sturdy. I can open and close my curtains all day long without the rod moving or coming down. These rods look amazing. They are so easy to install. Other than twist them to fit in my window, I did have to remove the end cap to fit the rod into the grommets of my curtains. An easy task to accomplish by using the included allen wrench. Just a few turns to remove the end cap, put the rod in the curtains, put the end cap back on, shove that rod in the window and BAM... window treatments done!

We loved the sturdiness of this curtain rod and how well made the rod is in the materials and tension it creates. The rod spans a large two window area over the sink in the kitchen and went from one cabinet to the other without bowing in the middle as some other rods. It also slides nicely into the curtain pocket without having a huge size difference between the two interlocking pieces so that the curtain appears even all the way across.

I tried to use it just as a press fit for a little extra hanging space in my apartment without putting extra holes in the walls. Unfortunately it did not hold up to more than a few shirts before it started slipping down the wall. I went back and used the screws provided and now it is staying fine. Just hope it continues to hold because failing with the screws in the wall means major damage. It is cheep but next time I think I will spend more money on a better press fit rod.

Easy to use, exactly the right size, and perfectly good pricing. Works as expected and suits my needs for a window while not requiring any tools to install, therefore no marks when removing or repositioning.

These curtain tension rod are expensive but it worth the money, I purchase for my living room, and repurchased again for my daughter bed room window. If you are looking for value for your money and quality, I would recommend this product.

It was difficult to find a shower curtain rod for a small opening that looked good. This pole fits all of my requirements and better yet it was easy to install. It stays in place well.

Was a perfect fit for a small shower

Easy to install and material is what is expected as per item description.

Keep light stuff on this. Best for short curtain. We have those IKEA cubbies hanging on this and we have about 10 towels in the cubbies. Fell down yesterday without being touched. Easy to put back up but don’t expect to put much weight on this off your hoping to use it in a closet for example.
