Spring Tension Curtain Rods 28-43 Inch Adjustable Spring Loaded Small Mini Extendable Heavy Duty Black Curtain Tension Rod For Kitchen, Bathroom, Window, Bookshelf,Closet

They worked really well in our garage windows and even the kitchen to hang curtains. The tension isn’t great, but as long as you don’t yank or pull they stay up. They’ve only fallen one time when I went to open the curtain in the kitchen above my sink and I may have pulled a little too hard. For the price you cannot complain. The tension isn’t great though. For the price again, cannot complain.

I saw a storage hack for my apartment, these rods make a great shelf for paper towels and or anything that’s not terribly heavy. I love it!

It’s keeping the curtains up so it must work!

Just what I wanted...made well, adjusts easily. Light weight but sturdy

Great product perfect

PROS: 1) Actually comes in three pieces (which is also a Con [see below]), allowing you to use for spaces between 15.4"-27.5" & 29"-41" CONS: 1) Item is not as described in multiple ways: 1.a) Used as intended, it lacks 3" of advertised usable range and is actually for 29"-41" 1.b) Uses a much weaker 3-piece design, but is pictured as a stronger 2-piece design. 2) The spring design means there is much less tension at the longest length, meaning this will not hold anything but very lightweight things at max length of 41" REVIEW BODY: My Cabinet is exactly 28.5" wide on the inside... So the rod could even be a little over 28" and still work... But THIS IS ≈ 29", NOT the advertised 28"! Now, you may be thinking – But, in the picture I provide, the rod is not being compressed (pushed against a wall), and it shows right there in the item pictures that it should compress about 1.2"-2" shorter, due to the tension spring inside, right?– ⬆ ⬆ Unfortunately, This is ONLY true when the rod is extended to greater lengths. Basically, when the rod is twisted to its shortest length, the spring inside is also essentially fully compressed. So, you may only get just 1/8" more spring compression (ie: from 29" down to 28.875") if you push hard. Additionally, while the pictures show it is the usual, ideal, and stronger 2-Piece rod setup... it IS NOT. It is a MUCH WEAKER 3-Piece rod setup, which includes: A small, usable-distance rod of 15.4" - 27.5" (you see these advertised as going to a maximum of 28", but they literally provide zero tension at 28"); And a small diameter 13.6" rod extension that goes onto the end of that. As you can see in the picture, a rubber end is pre-installed onto the extension pole, indicating the end. However, if desired, this can easily be moved to the end of the main 2-piece rod, giving you the ability to ditch the extension, and use this rod for a smaller space. While that means you actually get a much wider range of applications than you thought you would, literally no one buys this as advertised to use for a space under 28" lol. 😉 It also means: IF YOUR SPACE IS BETWEEN 27.5"-28.9" OR OVER 41", THIS WILL NOT WORK. CONCLUSION: Not at all what I was expecting from the quality of construction (with the weaker extension), or size. If I was needing this to be very sturdy, I would definitely have my concerns with this extension piece. However, I am only hanging a very short and very lightweight cabinet curtain. Therefore, while not everybody will be willing to try this (I happen to already have a small diameter metal pipe cutter, and a small hacksaw, as well as a full size hacksaw.), I will probably pop off the rubber end, cut the extension piece down far enough to make this usable, smooth down the cut, and put the rubber in back on for the distance I need. I'll try to remember to update. Thank you for your time and consideration for my opinion. 🙂 END of original Review.

This is a very thin rod. The photos are not as clear as needed. It is extremely thin for tension rod.

Good strong rod and it works for bathroom

I was trying to figure out how to hang a tapestry in my window and couldn't come up with anything. The room is too dark to have a curtain, but needed some kind of privacy. I bought this rod on a whim to see if it could work. It's perfect! I was easily able to adjust the height to just the perfect level. The tapestry is quite heavy but there is no sway in the bar at all. I'm very happy with this purchase. It's exactly what I wanted.

Serving it's purpose very well...

If you need to make it 30 inches, 8 find it very weak in the middle.
