I spray painted my set to a color i wanted and that helped a bit since it gave a glossy finish and sort if glazed over the roughness. It's very sturdy and looks awesome! The center bracket keeps everything sturdy even with heavy curtains.

Comes with screws and plastic anchors. The inner rod just snaps into place which makes it very easy to set the inner curtain up. It seems obvious to give matching screws, but a lot of sellers don’t do it.

This curtain rod is intentionally designed to be used with * curtains. There's plenty of clearance between the inside and outer rod to hang whatever kind of curtain you want. The only thing i'd advise is with sheer curtains as others have advised.

The look of these rods is very nice, they are real industrial, not shiny, not flimsy. The rod is sturdy and well made. My only complaint is that there is a bumpy coating applied on the rods.

Rough texture of rod makes it really hard to use any cloth curtain. They will not let you apply lace curtains on them without using curtains with large ring holes. The texture of the rod is like sandpaper.

Product is very poorly advertised. Package looks like it's been through a trash compactor. Only reason i'm not returning is it's too difficult to deal with during this pandemic.
