Dynasty Hardware DYN-SR72-ORB 1-Inch Diameter Shower Curtain Rod And Mounting Brackets, 72-Inch, Oil Rubbed Bronze

Shower curtain is nice and sturdy, just wish the knobs at the end were a little smaller so the curtain could go right to the wall

It came nicely packaged. The instructions were...what instructions? They didn't seem to be there actually, but installation was quite intuitive. My pipe cutter had a heck of a time cutting the rod to length. I cut our rod 1/4" short, but wish I had made it 1/8". The two piece rod is a bit wobbly and needs the extra tension of a tight fit. I'd give this rod 5 stars if the actual installed rod weren't a bit floppy. The remaining fit and finish are first rate with the finish a nice match to Amerock's Clarendon series in oil rubbed bronze.

Just received the shower curtain rod and am in the process of making the install. A couple of observations at this point: First, the rod and hardware seem to be of good quality. Overall, pretty stout. Secondly, the installation instruction are totally worthless. They do not even give the size drill bits needed for drilling the holes for the brackets. Lamo. If drilling through tile you will need a small punch to start the pilot hole. Then use a 1/8" masonary/rotary bit in order to drill the pilot hole. After that, you will use a 5/16" masonary/rotary bit to drill the final hole. Make sure to work slowly and do not let the bits get hot. Cool them with water often. After getting the holes drilled the install is pretty straightforward. If you are not drilling through tile the drill, bit size is still the same. I'm not a big fan of the little plastic wall inserts used to hold the brackets in place. I plan to add a few drops of Gorilla glue to them in order to give them a better bond to the tile. I have not cut the rod to size yet. It appears a hack saw or pipe cutter will work. I will use the latter. One tip would be to wrap the place where you make your cut with some type of tape. This will prevent you from accidentally scratching the rod when making the cut. Masking tape will work fine. I'm taking two stars off for a lack on install instructions.

Incredible design! I looked for, bought, and returned sooooo many other rods and they were all junk! These are great!!! Sturdy, solid, engineered smartly, and best of all the curtain doesn’t get snagged!!! ATTN: the metal pipe has to be cut to fit, so you’ll need the correct tool to saw it to the right size.

I'm very pleased with this curtain rod. It mounts firmly with screws, not a tension rod. The rod is not a single piece, but because each side of the rod are the same size, that slip over in inner sleeve there is not bumpy intersection point. The curtain hooks easily slide back and forth over the intersection point. Bronze color is very standard so it will match all bronze fixtures. Definitely would buy it again.
