Zenna Home Rustproof Curved Shower Curtain Rod, No Drill Adjustable Curved Tension Shower Curtain Rod for Bathroom, Easy Install, Rounded for Extra Room and Comfort, 50 to 72 Inches, Bronze

Excellent. Sturdy. Easy to install. Down the load app with it to help install. My tile was all the way to the ceiling and didn’t want to drill holes. This thing feels strong and tight.

Fabulous curved shower pole gives the much needed extra couple of inches in the teensy tiny city apartment shower! Feels utterly luxurious and is very nice looking, really upgraded the look of the tiny bathroom. Highly recommend! One comment I have is to attack the assembly instructions with a clear, calm mind. It was a bit brain draining to assemble but well worth it. Extremely easy to hang up in place, just suction, no drilling. The metal finish is very appealing

We needed a new shower curtain rod for our guest room, since the spring in the cheap old tension rod left behind by the previous owner finally buckled. I wasn't excited about a screw-mounted solution, since the wall is tiled all the way up to the ceiling. Yes, you can drill through tile with the proper bit, but the lifetime of a shower curtain rod is a lot shorter than the lifetime of the tile. I didn't want to start putting holes in things that I might regret later. Tension rods typically aren't as sturdy over the long haul, of course, but that was a sacrifice that seemed worth it to me. I figured I may as well spring for a curved rod while I was at it: we used curved rods at our last house, and the extra elbow room was noticeable. (Also, classy AF.)I was a little nervous about this one, since some of the reviews mentioned difficult installation or poor quality, but I there weren't many alternatives in this price range. The better quality options are nearly twice as expensive, and since this was for our guest bathroom and wouldn't be our daily driver, I figured it was worth the risk. I needn't have worried. Packaging was great, instructions were great, product was great. I've ordered and used some really cheap Made-in-China hardware and home goods over the past few years, and I've seen what crummy products and lousy instructions look like. This thing is luxurious by comparison. The instructions were complete and easy to follow, and the pieces were all clearly labeled as expected. I had the new rod up in about 15 minutes, thanks to a quick assist from my wife to get it into the right position before the final tension-tightening. It's only been up for a few days at this point, but it seems really solid. I don't think it's going anywhere. It looks great and does the job.My only real complaint is that you don't get a ton of extra room from it. This was expected: some reviews mentioned it, and the product description says it'll add about six inches of extra space, while other rods I looked at claimed anywhere from eight to 12. It's definitely more space than you get from a straight rod, but not as much as you'd get from a screw-mounted rod. I suspect it's just difficult to engineer a curved tension-mounted rod at this price point that extends outward any further. I wish it was bigger, but I couldn't find anything in the tension-mount category that was any better at this price point.Overall, I'm really happy with it. I can't vouch for its performance in a shower that sees heavy daily use, but for light duty in our spare bathroom it's absolutely perfect.

I expected a difficult assembly/installation based upon product reviews but I didn't find it hard. The instructions were pretty clear and there weren't a lot of parts. I had no problem tightening the five small screws with the included hex keys. I'm 5'4", generally handy, and it took maybe 25 minutes.My shower is small (56" wide) but the curved rod still adds a noticeable amount of room inside.I wasn't sure whether I should place the rod further back into the shower to offset the outward curve. I found it wasn't necessary and put it where my old straight rod was. Some websites recommend placing it 3" further back from straight rods but my guess is that this matters more with larger showers where rod will extend further out; you'll have to try it out to find the best placement. The outer lip of my toilet bowl is 8.5" away from my tub. It was enough room to have the end caps 1" back from the tile edge and still maintain good room between it and the curtain.I just installed it tonight so I don't know how it'll hold up in terms of rust. If it does last then it definitely deserves a five-star rating for its price. I understand that some people had issues with faulty parts but I wouldn't be overly concerned about that. Amazon has a stellar replacement/reimbursement policy. Just contact them (not necessarily the seller) if something goes wrong.Oh, I got it in "Heritage Bronze" and was pleased that it is indeed a shade of brown - not black like so many other products claiming to be "oil rubbed bronze"!Tips:-The instructions don't specify this but the mounting brackets (parts A & B) ship inside the end caps (part E). The first step is that you simply pop them out. I used a flat head screwdriver.-Slide curtain rings onto the bar before you connect the two rod pieces. Hang the curtain afterward.-Tighten the rod so it's temporarily secure, use a level to confirm it's level, then do the final tightening.The other products you see in the picture are Two-Layered Embroidered Fabric Shower Curtain with Attached Valance (Off-White and Gold) in Chocolate Brown and Heavy Duty Roller Shower Curtain Rings, Oil Rubbed Bronze Clipperton RollerRings®, Set of 12.
