Mainstays 1" White Adjustable Tension Window Curtain Rod, 48- 84"

Great item! I have 5 curtains hanging in this 1 rod; it holds the weight without falling. It’s easy to install, twist one end of the rod in one direction %26 the other end in the other direction. The rod even has arrows showing you what direction to turn it.

Easy to install and very sturdy. Have a good look to them. Was able to get a nice torgue on them, they will not fall. Had a fear of my cat swinging from the curtains and these falling. This wont happen because of the ability to get them really tight.

I’m very pleased. I ordered 5 for my new apartment. The shipping was fast and the rods were simple to install. The dark finish looks great with the new curtains.

It’s deceptively nice! It looked nice online but I thought it would be cheap looking in person but it wasn’t at all. It looked like a high dollar curtain rod. Very impressed!

Works perfectly to put over my kitchen window. Regular curtain rod would not work and this tension rod fixed my problem. Worked effortlessly and after several weeks my curtain rod is still exactly where we put it. No slips or slides.

I gave it five stars because it did look pretty. However, I ended up returning it. I also needed some shorter rods and this one was only available in the longer size so my windows wouldn't have matched. I found some other rods at the store and they had enough available short and long to fit all my windows so I went with that.

I need a tension rod. I ordered this one. I did not get a tension rod. There is no tension in this rod, or any of the rods for that matter. It's not that the rod was defective, they just didn't look up the meaning of the word tension. In order to call something or classify it with tension, it needs to have or be able to withstand a force that stretches or compresses it. This is an adjustable rod. There will be no tension anywhere in it. There are no springs. And to make matters worse when you expand this rod to the length that you need it, it doesn't stay there! This is a huge waste of money. Huge waste of money! If I had wanted a bar/pole, I would've gone to the garage and gotten a wooden pole/dowel and cut it to size. I needed to suspend the rod in the door frame for privacy curtains. Since there's no tension, the rod is on the floor. ROD DOES NOT USE TENSION!!!!!!

I used it outside and it constantly falls down due to slippage as it uses a twist instead of suspension method. It does not maintain the twisted position.

Won’t stay up for nothing in the world! After it fell for the third time I said forget it and will be buying one to nail down. Not worth the headache.

The rod will not extend at all. We looked at the instructions to he sure we were extending it correctly. I mean, please, it is an extension rod. It seems to locked or stuck at the shipping length. Should be able to unscrew the two rods to the desired length. Will not budge. Do not buy.
