Amazon Basics Extendable Indoor Curtain Rod with Curved Pole - 122 to 224cm, Black

Wish I had of bought this curtain pole years ago! easiest pole to assemble & put up, looks fantastic. Back pole has voile curtains and front pole has blackout curtains so weight is there to judge sturdiness of pole and it's holding up perfectly. So good I'm buying another!. Highly recommend this product.

Look lovely and professional.I have the double rail and the inside pole is smaller to allow for thinner net curtains.To install I started with the middle bracket, be careful that the secure screw is all the way retrated when rotating the pole in place.The room is so much darker and means I cannot see through the gap from the bed as there is none.Good value for money, fixings are sturdy as well. I would usually use my own but no need.

The rails is easy to install and works like a charm. The bend towards the wall at either end helps a lot keeping the room dark with the proper curtains. The rail itself seems solid enough. Only the included drywall anchors were a bit flimsy. Broke 2 of them while trying to put them into their pilot holes. Had to use 2 of my own anchors instead. Other than that no problems.

Looks great on my room, even I still have to set up everything. Is nice and sturdy. My windows are 2 m long so this pool is going up to 230 cm to cover over the window. With double rails is perfect to put even the tinny white curtains

This curtain rod curves round so that curtains sit close to the wall - perfect for restricting draughts in colder weather. I found it straightforward to fit and appreciated the simple instructions. This was good value for money and is sturdy and stylish when installed.

This is the second one of these we've bought, they're very simple with just two screws at each end.The reason we chose these is the curve at the end which allows the curtain to close all the way against the wall.They're not too heavy, but feel high quality. They do come with a central support but for the weight of the curtains, I don't feel the need to use it. The rod does sag a little when the curtains are closed, but we've been using one in this way for three years now without issue.Very happy.

Good design for bay window, easy to use

Wouldn't like to hang curtains with it fully extended

I ended up using these rods over every window in my house. They are super easy to install and as sturdy as they need to be.I had 12 windows that needed curtains, so even a $5 price saving over a competitor without loss of durability adds up a lot, and I think this was more like $10-$20 cheaper than equivalent products.If I can offer one design improvement suggestion, it would be to elongate the part that has hols for the screws and put those holes lower so that it is easier to get a drill bit in there.

Instillation took less than 10 minutes: four holes & four screws and that was it. Simple, streamlined, and invisible once drapes/curtains are on the rods. I liked the looks so much that I purchased a "double" rod in the same style. I think I have found the perfect rod.

The greatest part about starting the project to install this pair of curtain rods was that they were specific for blackout curtains. As usual, I went to YouTube to watch a couple of "How to videos", to get my own pitch for installation. It's all part of the preparation process for getting it right with as much information as possible. I'm not good with less than perfect. And if you have a good track record with following directions, YouTube is a great way to start any project. Especially after a job is done,you step back and see you have done very acceptable work. Knowing I am my own best critic, all information was received and I was ready to proceed. The best approach was to make sure the window frame was level and plumb. Horizontal and vertical were level to work from. Then I measured down from the interior ceiling. Measurements were doable. I decided to measure down from the ceiling, but had to figure the most efficient place to mark center for both sides of curtain rod. Knowing the window frame was level going vertical, I measured 2 and one half inches right of the frame, put one pencil dot. Did the same for the left side. Now you have two dots,reference points for the center of each curtain rod end. If you have a straight edge, metal yard stick, or definite straight edge, put your level right up against your straight edge and measure down from the ceiling centering the height for the top of your curtain according to centering curtain over window frame. The dot you put on both sides of the window frame earlier need to be included with the agreed measurement from the top of each side of the ceiling and making sure you are including the dot you penciled in, and making sure your level is plumb, straight up and down, including the dot and agreed measurement from ceiling. When you know you have it set up right, put one dot for the agreed height and exactly 1 and one half inches below that dot, put another dot. You should be looking at 3 dots ONLY on one side. You can erase the lowest dot. The 2 remaining dots are exactly where your curtain rod end will be set in the wall. To test out seeing if you got it right place the curtain rod end over the 2 remaining dots. Did it line up? If not you need to read again. If the end did line up, you can use the same directions for the other side. There is video which is included with this product but I suggest going to YouTube and get other opinions for installation. When I put my curtains on the shape of the rod ends did not hold the curtains in place to my satisfaction. So I had a 3" piece of 3/8" plastic tubing. Cut that in half then up the center on both pieces. Then put a piece on each end of the rod to keep the curtain firmly in place. Put each piece of plastic on the inside of the curtain and the outside of the rod so you can't see it. 😉

I like that they are designed for the curtain to wrap around the ends of the rod, thus getting the vertical hem closer to the wall. Helps with room darkening and temperature control.These included plastic wall anchors but generally, windows are installed with two 2 x 4's on either side so it's easy to install using wood screws without the anchors. Be sure to drill pilot holes, first.

These curtain rods are terrific! I use them on my porch as I got tired of the less expensive sagging thin metal ones. I am 73, female and these were the easiest ones to install ever! I had no problem by myself. The rods are very sturdy, holding both sets of curtains up beautifully. highly recommend them.
