Don't Purchase if your Toilet is Next to Your Tub
This rod has a nice finish and really excellent installation instructions but following them causes the rod to extend about 6" away from the tub. In addition the way the caps are poorly designed to leave a big opening that would get water in it if it is mounted so the curtain hangs properly. Very disappointed in the design.

Hi HeyRenee, thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are not completely happy with your purchase of this shower rod. This is a curved shower rod that allows for up to 11 inches of additional shower space at its maximum length (72 inches). Depending on the width of your shower space and the length you adjust the rod to, your curve may allow for up to 6 additional inches of shower space, and therefor extend 6 inches away from the tub. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to the manufacturer's U.S.-based Customer Service department Monday - Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM EST by calling 800-892-3986. Again, we apologize that this shower rod did not completely meet your expectations and look forward to assisting you. Thank you for your business!

    Not quality
    I don't think the metal could have possibly been any thinner. The rod is thin and lightweight, but seems to be the sturdiest part. It's still a 2-piece rod, so curtain hooks get hung on the transition. The mounting clips are plastic with hex head set screws threaded into them. Of the 4 set screws, 3 of them were angled as though they would be cross threaded in a metal bracket. The covers look thin in the packaging, but are big and chunky. They also have a huge gap facing outward. Also, they are aluminum can thin. I dropped one into the tub and it dented. The more I installed, the less happy I was. My wife has declared it hideous, and it is going back. I pulled on the shower curtain a little, and based on the flex in the mounting brackets I don't believe it would survive kids, anyhow.

      We had a regular curtain rod, then I decided to swap it with the curved shower rod. I think it looks pretty good and the price wasn’t to bad.

      cheap. ugly. poor quailty.
      The brushed nickel finish matches nothing in the isle once i went back and checked. Definetly didnt match the moen products installed. Moen rod not sold in store at home depot. Can see through the cheap end caps, and for a hard mount rod, the thin tube still feels cheap. Its coming down and going back. Just mad that i drilled through my new tile before i realized how bad this product was. Not a good photo on the outside of the box for reference either.

      Hi Wesley. Thank you for positing your comments online! We're sorry you're not happy with your purchase. Under our color standards, this rod does have a brushed nickel finish; unfortunately, not all finishes from different companies look the same. To ensure you are getting the exact same finish, it is best to buy all the fixtures and accessories from the same company. Again, thank you for your feedback and we hope you will give us another chance in the future!

        Very easy to install. Directions provided are great and help make the installation process a breeze. The wall covers hold well and the curve in the bar adds a lot of space to the shower to make it feel larger.

          End cap gap
          Overall the rod and installation were overall simple. The very last step install the endcaps is horrible. The could have made a solid on piece that gets installed while the rod is on two pieces and waited till the end to slide over and not have a huge hole in it. Need to revisit that design for sure.

            This shower curtain rod rusts like crazy. I would suggest buying a brass rod. Not Aluminum.

            This product is made of aluminum material which doesn't contain iron or steel; therefore is not subject to rust. There could be a possibility you may have purchased a different model. If you wouldn't mind contacting the manufacturer's Customer Service Team at 1-800-892-3986 to address this issue, I'm sure they would love the opportunity to offer a resolution.

              I’ve used these before and this particular one was much more cheaply made & less stable than previous installed shower Rods. Home Depot needs several items to chose from quality is still a bargain!

              Its fine. Its hole is just too big for the rod. It would have been better if the hole is just enough for the size of the rod so that it will not show as if its upside down when you put it in your shower.

              Good Product, Terrible Instructions! The geniuses who wrote the instruction manual said to install the end brackets even with the outer edge of the tub. When I did that, the rod, being curved, stuck way out, and I couldn't even close the bathroom door. I think they were confused, and put in instructions for a straight rod. So I measured 8-1/2" further back, and it's perfect. Very sturdy, been up a few weeks, very happy with it. Taking a star off for the ridiculous instruction error.

                This is your basic curved shower rod. It is very lightweight, which has its pros and cons. It was very easy to install; however, if you have children that potentially like to hang on the shower curtain, I can see it coming right down. It's perfect for our needs.

                This curved curtain rod was easy to install and is sturdy. Exceeds our expectations. Great for smaller shower/tubs by adding more usable area in the shower giving the felling of a larger space.

                  I thought it was a little tricky to install, and I'm pretty handy. This particular model is made from aluminum so it's rustproof. We've had it installed for about two years now, and there's no rust. Because it's aluminum, it's incredibly light-weight. That had me worried at first, because I thought it was way too flimsy to hold up! We certainly don't hang any additional weight on it, like wet towels or clothes, because I really don't think it could handle any additional weight other than the shower curtain. But we are careful with it, and it's holding up so far. Like many other reviews here, I think the end caps are rather ugly. The end caps are really big, and they also leave a big gap. Because of that, and the difficulty to install, I gave it three stars only.

                  Shower rod has a nice finish and not hard to install at all. Only wish is that the opening of the bracket faced inward and not out. Looks a little unfinished.

                  The rod seemed pretty cheap quality, but my biggest problem was the installation instructions said to align the end anchors and even with the edge of bathtub, which would mean you are drilling and anchoring into tile because the tile extends about 2 inches past the edge of tub. I went ahead and anchored mine on the drywall where the tile ended which is about 2 1/2 inches further out than the edge of tub. It worked pretty good actually, just lower it about an inch so the inside liner is not to short to reach inside of tub.

This rod is made from strong and lightweight aluminum that is guaranteed for life against rust. We create installation instructions so that we can guarantee proper installation. Of course, every bathroom space is different. Some may have tile, drywall, etc. so we cannot guarantee that each individual will be able to permanently mount this shower rod on a drywall portion of their bathroom.
