Q: Is this a set of 2 rods?

submitted by Pat - 5 years ago

  • A: Hi Pat - This curtain rod would hang your curtains in style! This rod is described to come as one rod with brackets and mounting hardware. Happy decorating! - Julie

    submitted byJulie - 5 years ago
    Target staff support

  • A: Hi Pat, just to be clear, this extension or telescopic rod is made with two rods; put together they make only one adjustable single curtain rod. It is not a double curtain rod set for hanging two curtains. For your reference.

  • A: Hi J, Thank you for your valuable feedback. We always welcome such constructive criticism as we work hard to continually improve the quality of our products as much as possible. Regarding your comments on the wide color variations between the rods and brackets; we try to coordinate these and color match them the best we can. But please note there will always be some color variation between finished decorative finials, iron rods and mounting brackets due to different electroplating and paint coating processes. But we can definitely try to improve. Thanks!

Guests are saying

The product has received mixed feedback primarily due to its misleading description as a tension rod, which many guests found to be inaccurate. While some guests appreciated its affordability and ease of installation, others faced challenges with the provided hardware and overall sturdiness. The rod is suitable for lightweight curtains and offers a simple design that can complement various home decors. However, guests recommend using better anchors for installation to avoid issues.

    Don't Believe the Title Description

    The description says “tension rod” yet it is a drapery rod that requires brackets. The AI chat assistant even verified this fact. Very disappointed in the lack of accuracy give to the description provided in the title.

    almost a correct description - max 48"

    there is this tension rod in bronze but it does not go to 84”. i located one at aliso viejo even though website said there were three. it was mixed in with classic curtain rods so tough to locate. i believe it only maximized to 48” if i remember correctly, not to the 84” listed here.

    Not a Tension Rod

    The title says it’s an “Adjustable Metal Tension Rod.” As others have noted in their reviews, it’s not. I scanned the barcode to see if my order had the wrong product added, but no…the online listing is labeled incorrectly.

    Set screws are 1/2 useless.

    The outer section of the rod gets pushed out of the bracket, if the set screw is tightened at all.

    Garbage hardware

    Inaccurate information on instructions for hanging brackets.. drywall anchors were garbage that didn’t go into the drilled hole and cracked when screwed into. Had to use purchase other hardware to install properly and without leaving a giant hole in the wall.

    FYI Installation tips

    Many have complained about the installation hardware. See photo of the provided hardware (black screw, white anchor) and what I used (yellow anchor, brass screw). The drill bit is 1/4" for the yellow anchor. I suspect that the white anchor is self-drilling; thus only the tip goes in the pilot hole. I do not know this for sure because I used my own hardware since the provided screws were too long for my use. If the rods move apart when you draw the curtains, tighten the rod set screws: no need for screwdriver, just finger tight. There is nothing to bridge the join between the inner and outer rods. I have grommet curtains so it's easy to jerk the curtain over the join, but some other styles will catch on the join. For the price I think these are ok but the instructions should be more clear regarding the anchors.
