Umbra Ella Expandable Curtain Rod

Really looks sturdy and beautiful.I recommend

Smart looking, good installation hardware and excellent quality!

Looks beautiful! Be careful during installation - finials all scratched by placing on surfaces during installation, but they're high up and it's not horribly noticeable. Overall look is wonderful and the product is reasonably priced.

This is an attractive rod but in installing it I realized there are two flaws with it. I have a 10 ft window so I needed to use the centre rod. The centre rod has no notches to indicate equidistance and no indicator when you're reaching the end. I put up one side fine but when when I was putting up the other side, I pulled out the centre rod too far and the curtains feel to the floor and in the process twisted the bracket. I was surprised that that could even happened. I was able to twist it back through counterbalancing and I guess it's designed to flex but this could have been avoided if the bracket was a half circle and not a full circle. So I don't pull out the centre rod too far again, I applied Frog tape on both ends so I would know when I'm getting to the end.

This curtain rod is very sturdy. It is a simple design, but very attractive. Perfect for our bedroom!
