Kenney Rogers 5/8" Twist & Fit No Tools Adjustable Tension Window Curtain Rod, 28-48 Inch, White

I was worried it would be difficult to use from the negative reviews, but I didn't have any trouble loosening/tightening it, and it installed easily. One of the reasons I bought this kind is that the end caps are very cute, and they have a nice matte finish in-person. One thing of note is to make sure your curtain header, however it attaches, has enough leeway to fit around the end caps (1.06" in diameter according to product images) since they don't seem to be removable.

Quick delivery, no tools assembly, sleek classy color/design, great value too. This rod will replace unnecessary doors in places where a rod and door-jam "curtains" are safer for one who must now wear a Rugby helmet (soft shell head/brain protection) due to falls as a result of MS. When I must be in a wheelchair, these rods, and fabric, purchased from Walmart are literally a life saver. It is how I keep things disability accessible. A thought for those who are trying to make a space safer for anyone prone to preventable injury as it pertains to unforgiving, heavy doors and hardware that is often jetting out waiting for its next victim (lol). Think of aging parents or a grandparent(s). The results are gorgeous and inviting v. a boring door.

I bought 4 tension rods. The first 2 that I tried to extend did not work and I thought I was going to have to return them. The 3rd one finally extended as needed and the 4th was easy. I went back at the first 2 and one required a pair of pliers to help me pull it out and the final one just required more effort. Now they are up and doing the job.

It's extremely hard to open/loosen initially, so I had to use pliers which ruined the paint finish. The spring loaded ones are a lot easier to use and adjust.

This took two people and two and a half hours to assemble. The instructions weren’t even remotely clear. It’s very wonky and cheaply made. If we didn’t figure it out I was absolutely going to return it. I will not be buying anything else from this brand or recommending it to anyone to purchase. Not to mention, I had 2 day delivery for this and it took 10 days instead. Walmart should take more pride in their third party sellers. Shameful but not out of character for Walmart.

The rod is attractive and well made however mine, at least, will not twist out to fit my window. It was very well priced for the appearance and quality just unusable which is disappointing.

Item, tension curtain rod did not extend or contract. It is stuck in place. Packaging didn't appear to be damaged., or that mishandling caused the problem.

Can't twist it and extend it. Done everything in my power to make it work. Going to be asking a friend to see if they can do it. Doesn't take a rocket scientist I know that I looked at the directions and follow them.

not spring tension... do not move the curtain or it will fall as the rod will not adjust well ... quality for its price just not there . l will have to buy additional curtain hangers to use with this.

I should have read other reviews before purchasing. Supposedly you simply pull the rods open then just twist to shorten to the appropriate size. However, it's impossible to pull the rods open. Consequently, impossible to use.
