Q: What kind of screwdriver is needed?

submitted byAnomani - 8 years agoA: Incorrect information. A screwdriver is required.
submitted bynot quite - 5 years agoA: This curtain rod DOES require a tool - a Phillips screwdriver.
submitted byJW - 8 years agoA: it REQUIRES a tool!!! Picture is ROUND but rod is flat. I wish it was round & no tool needed!!!
submitted bybuffy - 7 years agoA: The rod has one piece inside the other piece. You slide the pieces to the length needed. There is a small metal piece with a screw that stabilizes and locks the length of the rod. The screw is tightened with a phillips or flat blade screwdriver. I,ve also used a kitchen table knife and think a small coin such as a dime might work.

Q: Looking for a rod for a 36" space. Should I buy the 22-36" or 36-60"?
A: Hi Cg - Thanks for asking! Either size will accommodate your 36" space. Happy shopping! - Shelly
submitted byShelly H - 8 years agoTarget staff supportA: I have found that when you are at the end of the size range, it's better to go up a size. If you don't, the rod will sag in the middle since there isn't enough metal overlap to support the curtain weight. I would buy the larger size based on my experience.
