    I love that these are renter friendly and drill free. They look good in spite of being plastic. They work great WHEN they work. Just make sure to check that all parts are functioning before your return date. Don't procrastinate like I did, I had to use 2 to one that functioned properly. Don't put off the project once you have the rods.

    I was so excited when I saw this twist tension rod—finally, a hardware-free solution to putting up curtains. Alas, my excitement faded after realizing that twisting the knob at the end did nothing, putting pressure on the left side didn't help the situation, and twisting to lock was a joke (especially when you have curtains ON the rod). Do yourself a favor and purchase the slightly more expensive traditional rod and hardware set, OR opt for the handy dandy command strip curtain rod hangers and a smaller rod. Final statement- the instructions state that two people are recommended for installation.

    I tried installing this but the right knob just keeps spinning and won’t tighten. And the only way to get into the packaging was to totally tear up the packaging, so now I can’t return. I think the packaging was made on purpose that way for this very reason.

    I've had it for a month and it isn't bad. A good yank on the curtains and it'll definitely come down, but that's true of all tension curtain rods. It has screw holes to more permanently fix it into the wall. Feels cheapish, but it isn't bad.

    Bree - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    This fell while my dog and I were sleeping. It almost hit him and my computer. He was terrified and wouldn’t go back to sleep. No one even touched it, the tension should have held it in place. Since it’s not reliable, it’s not safe to use around kids, animals or anything expensive or fragile. The only reason it didn’t hit my dog was because my desk broke the fall. My dogs are 16lb and 9lb so if it hit one of them they could be seriously hurt.

    So I decided to take a risk on this... despite what other reviews said of this one not working. I got the larger size, and I'm glad I did because my window would have been just too big for the smaller size. There are specific instructions and order of those instructions to make sure that the tension is held between the rods and the wall. My suggestion to make this successful, would be to screw the ball on the right side, the opposite direction of "tighten", until the ball and end piece attached to it are screwed on/ in as much as it allows. Then, follow the instructions on the item itself, twist to unlock/lock while maintaining pressure on the left side of the rod, lock it, and then use the ball on the right end of the rod to tighten it more, securing and adding tension. I found that it feels very sturdy, even if I were to add some different curtains than the ones that I purchased. I loved this so much and I'm glad I gave it a shot!
