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.

    submitted byProduct Expert - 5 years ago

Q: Why don't the finish color of the brackets match the rod color!? Rod is a brown oil rubbed bronze, but brackets are a dark copperish brown. So frustrating.

submitted by J - 5 years ago

  • A: Hi J - Thanks for browsing our Room Essentials rods! We have a lot of guests who are very happy with their purchase and have been able to use it to add flare to their rooms. Check out the review section for pictures! I hope this helps! - Tony

    submitted byTony - 5 years ago
    Target staff support

  • 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!

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.

Poor Hardware

Screws do not fit the anchors provided. Anchors were weak and easily stripped. Had to start over with our own anchors and screws and now have giant holes in the wall we will have to repair.
