Customer Reviews for Rod Desyne 110 in. - 156 in. Telescoping Traverse Curtain Rod Kit in Black with Imperial Finial

LOVE THESE traversing and telescoping curtain rods. We purchased multiple rods in all sizes for our living room and bedroom. The clips zip along MUCH better than our old traverse rods (which are hot garbage and I am so glad to be rid of them!). The curtain panels slide with such easy and do not get stuck in the track like our old ones. The design is very sleek, with a bit of fanciness with the screw-on finials. The installation was a breeze. The only negative to these is that I did have to purchase additional roller clips. We have very heavy drapery (thick satin with insulated black-out panels) with pinch pleats. To ensure they wouldn't fall from the clips, plus to fit in between each pinch pleat (our OCD is real!), we needed more of them for the longer rod locations. They're a little spendy, but we're spending up for these rods anyway, so another $30 wasn't a big deal. HIGHLY recommend these rods!

As many things are today, marketing departments just make things up as they go along, and they're deceptive enough you can't sort it out until you have your hands on it. This is a nice design and well executed, but the so called traverse function is very misleading. There is no side control for opening and closing the curtains. You have to grab the curtains and manually open/close them. There is no rod or cord to do it from the side. Now, we have to lean over the desk to access the curtains, plus we have to actually touch the fabric to move it. There's no way to avoid eventual fingerprints or stains on the fabric. So, this is another fail.

Solid quality. Love the traverse function.
