Amazon Basics No Drill Adjustable Sturdy Spring Tension Curtain Rod, 54-90", Black, Classic Finial

I bought this adjustable tension rod for a totally non-traditional use — to hang holiday décor above my front door. It ended up working perfectly. The rod is sturdy, easy to adjust, and strong enough to hold a full garland without bowing or slipping. Installation took maybe a minute. Twist, press, and it locked in securely. I’ve opened and closed the door multiple times and the rod hasn’t budged at all. The matte black finish also blends in nicely and doesn’t look cheap up close. If you’re decorating, hanging curtains, or just need a reliable tension rod that won’t fall on your head at 2 a.m., this one does exactly what it should. Pros: • Very sturdy — holds heavier décor without slipping • Easy to adjust and install • Blends in nicely with most trim • Doesn’t damage the walls or door frame Cons: • None so far — does the job perfectly Highly recommend for both practical and decorative uses.

Great rod. Easy to install and strong.

Purchased for my daughter’s dorm room. We used it to create a private area under her lofted bed. Then it was repurposed to hide her closet in her apartment this year. Good value and easy to install.

PROs: + Lightweight, good for apartment showers + Easy to install + Does what it needs to CONs: - Cheap materials unsuitable for a home with upgraded fixtures - Instructions are incorrect Another review (by Robert Laughlin on July 17, 2023) reported that the instructions were incorrect for the curtain rod. To confirm what he reported, the instructions I received were not accurate with the product I received. This is not a "compress and tension" rod like it says, which is a bit misleading. This is a standard curtain rod that you rotate to extend into place. There was some give, but nowhere near enough compression to follow the instructions of extending 2" beyond the wall and then compressing into place. The rod I received extends by rotation, so you simply rotate the rods and it will telescope out slowly. Once in place, the rod seems to hold securely thanks to the rubber feet. It was easy enough to install once I figured the instructions were incorrect. The material is very lightweight, but the nickel finish is nice and suits the rest of my bathroom fixtures. The shower curtain glides easily along the bar which is a big improvement over the rod it replaced, which would annoyingly catch the curtain rings as they slid. For an apartment shower, this should be just fine. But if you have nicer furnishings or a house with superior build quality, you will want to look elsewhere. This is a very middle-of-the-line curtain rod.

I needed a quick solution for a small window and didn't want to drill into the trim. This rod is perfect! The bronze finish looks high-end and the classic finial adds a nice touch that makes it look like a permanent fixture. Most importantly, the tension is very strong—I have medium-weight curtains on it and it hasn't budged an inch. It took less than two minutes to install. Great value for the price!

Very sturdy. I used the wide-width for my small space outdoor lanai. Usually leave the screens open but sometimes it's nice to block rain, heavy summer sun, or just get a little privacy when in my night gown. These would be great anywhere, in a closet or you just want a pretty tapestry effect.

This curtain rod is perfect!!! I'm using it to hold up curtains to create a cozy bedroom area in my studio. Easy to assemble, quite thin, but very sturdy. Very important to read the instructions, otherwise it will fall down lol You can't really see from the picture but I'm using it to hold up four curtains (two pairs). It's been up for about two weeks so far and no issues. Very happy!

Great product for an easy to use curtain rod! We used it to hang a pair of heavy velvet 12 feet curtains, and so far, it's held up, even when adjusting the curtains for closing at night and opening in the day time.

received broken and dented

Strong!! Good quality

Ich muss ehrlich sein - ich hab die Anleitung zur Montage in der Beschreibung absolut nicht verstanden. (Irgendwad mit zusammendrücken? Ging bei mir nicht) Das einzige, was für mich Sinn mache, war das entgegengesetzte Drehen. So hab ich die sehr leichte Gardinenstange dann erst einmal eine Weile rausgedreht (ich brauchte 2,67m) und als ich der Länge näher kam, hab ich sie an die richtige Stelle zwischen den Wänden gehalten. Noch einen Dreh zur Befestigung und voila, sie hängt und ich hätte es mir nicht besser ausmalen können. Ich gebe zu, ich war bei der Lieferung etwas abgeschreckt, weil die Feder im Inneren der Stande noch in der Verpackung unglaublich laut schepperte, aber nach der Montage hört man davon nichts mehr. Ich habe einen sehr leichten Vorhang daran hängen. Dafür aber auf über 2,6m. Innerhalb von 3 Minuten hing die Stange auf Rauhfasertapete. Ich bin sehr glücklich, dass ich nicht bohren muss! Übrigens habe ich auch die Demontage probiert, da mir die Höhe zuerst doch nicht gefiel, und auch das ging sehr einfach. Also: einfach auf die benötigte Länge drehen und ihr könnt euch die Bohrmaschine sparen. Noch dazu sieht die Stange unglaublich hochwertig aus. Nachtrag: nach über 3 Jahren (November 2023 ist die Stange das erste Mal runtergefallen, weil meine Tochter daran gezogen hat. Ging super wieder zu befestigen. 1A Qualität.

I used this for a 24 inch wide closet opening. The room is really small so adding another door opening into the space limited things, so I decided to hang a boho curtain over the opening instead. Looks fabulous and the rod is super sturdy and has a nice finish.

Compré esta barra para cortinas y la he utilizo para un telón de hacer fotografías. Es muy versátil y adaptable cualquier espacio. Lo que más me gusta de esta barra es que no se dobla y muy rígida una vez puesta.
