- Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2016Color: WhiteSize: 48-84-InchVerified PurchaseI'm so happy that I purchased this product!
1. READ the instructions. They come with the tension rod. (I redid my decor, but forgot the advice of the manufacturer and held the curtains and rod for so long that I now have well-sculpted biceps.)
2. Some reviewers wrote that this tension rod won't hold their curtains, but they probably did not hang the correct end as per the instructions.
2a. This rod is not for the shower, but for the window.
3. I have heavy curtains, roughly 10 pounds total, and they are holding nicely after 8 months and numerous workouts--I mean, redecorations.
When it reads "Smart Window," know that it requires twisting the rod aloose, putting it in your window at an angle, tightening the rod by twisting it in the other direction, and then carefully pushing the lower end higher, until it matches the left side. I'm no Dr. Sheldon Cooper, but I think that this is what creates the "tension" that will hold your curtains. Enjoy!

- Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2016Color: Oil Rubbed BronzeSize: 48-84-InchVerified PurchaseHaving gone through several tension rods, and now needing a 5/8" one that could hold up a shower curtain, I am very pleased with this rod. The rod itself is steel and has a pleasant bronze finish that more or less matches the rest of our bronze fixtures.
I was concerned that the small diameter wouldn't be up to holding up a shower curtain and liner, but after a week or more it has shown no signs of slipping or moving, whereas our old larger diameter one would spontaneous fall down at least once a week. The smaller diameter actually looks better in the bathroom as well as its a bit more subtle.
I would highly recommend this rod.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2017Color: BlackSize: 18-28-InchVerified PurchaseIt looks nice and I appreciate the small size for what I needed, however it's really hard to lock without it making itself smaller. So we had to play with it a lot to get it to work. We made it longer than needed so that when we locked it it went a bit smaller. It fell several times until (I think) we finally got it tight enough.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2019Color: WhiteSize: 48-84-InchVerified PurchaseI didn't read the description carefully and found when they arrived these are not spring tension rods, they are "twist & lock". Though they are as sturdy as described and seem good quality and heavier than I expected. Once the length is locked in place they seem to hold. However ever I am satisfied with them.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2016Color: Oil Rubbed BronzeSize: 28-48-InchVerified PurchaseThis is the 3rd style I've tried and while it's much better than the flimsy spring rods that sell for about the same price, I can't get very excited about it. The finial's are small enough to slip through curtains and be covered at the wall, but these, unlike other rods made by Maytex that use the exact same description but with different finials, don't allow for a good snug up to the wall.
They'll hold with the twist if you get enough pressure and depending on your wall type, but the finial's are just slipped on to the ends, they have no adjust-ability. This one is being used for a valance so as long as it doesn't slip out and fall (which I'm expecting it may do with weather/temperature changes) it'll serve it's purpose. I would NOT use it for tiers or anything that will be opened or touched at all.
The one linked below is what I bought for the tiers which work great!! Based on the same description and manufacture I expected they'd operate the same. Nope. The one in the link, the finial screws in to the rod allowing you to set it with the "twist" then put an extra twist or 2 to snug it up much more solidly. The down side is the size of the finials are larger so with curtains that don't have a large 2"+ pocket, a finial needs to be unscrewed and taken off which isn't a big deal, but once up the curtains won't completely cover the finial at the wall. That may not be a big deal in some applications, but in ours it would be better it the finials could be completely hidden.
These have screw adjustable finials making securing it much better and easier. It would be nice if Maytex would include that in the description.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018Color: BlackSize: 18-28-InchVerified PurchaseMost of the tension rods I've seen look super cheap and flimsy. I was worried this one was going to be the same way, but it looks great and it fits our window and decor perfectly. It is so handy to not have to drill and install window hanging hardware! I wish all home decor was this easy!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2015Color: WhiteSize: 48-84-InchVerified PurchasePurchased: 48-84" in white
Feels tight and so far has had no issues holding the 72" sheer curtain in my living room. Says it holds up to 10 lbs and that seems about right. The 5/8" diameter gives it a chic look (I was imagining a big ugly shower curtain rod).
Comes with curtain rod brackets and associated screws in case you need it to extend from the wall.**
**Mine only came with one curtain rod bracket. Looking back at the product description, however, it doesn't mention that these are included at all. Nonetheless, I contacted Amazon and they were kind enough to offer to refund my order.

Color: BlackSize: 18-28-InchVerified PurchaseLo usé para una ventana estrecha, pero el cortinero no logró sostenerse, aún sin las cortinas puestas, al extenderlo hacia los extremos. Debí sujetarlo por debajo con un tornillo para que no se deslizara.
