Cambria® Blockout Farmhouse Plate 36 to 72-Inch Adjustable Curtain Rod Set in White

The rod itself is nice (the finials, backing plate) but if you are using it in expanded mode it is not very sturdy, not really suited for blackout curtains unless you use extra brackets, however they only include ONE bracket regardless of the size of the rod. The most notable part though are the screws to mount the wall plates and brackets- they are VERY poor quality. Almost every screw stripped and I had a professional installing these. I bought nine rods all together (36-72" and the 72-120" sizes) and this was an issue with ALL of them. So, if you decide to purchase these rods, may be best for lighter weight curtains, but if you use blackouts (as I did) make sure you purchase better quality screws and a few extra brackets if you intend to expand the rods at all.

Needed to do a Bay window and needed different size rods, this size worked great on large area. Looks and fit great.

This is an expensive cheaply made curtain rod. The wall plates are plastic and the rod is cheap and feels like it is going to break with the curtains on it. Even with the center support on (also cheap plastic). It is at the smallest size too so I can't imagine if you had to extend it. I will be returning this but I am extremely annoyed that I have to fill holes now.

The rod is nice, kind of flimsy. But it gets the job done. The screws however! The WORST screws I have ever seen come with anything being mounted to a wall. What are they, grade 5?! They’re as soft as pudding and I nearly stripped every single screw head. I will have to replace them all.

Sags in the middle when extended to its full length, and even slightly before full extension.

This has already been said, but it was a couple of months ago, so worth noting again and hopefully the store and manufacture will do something about it. The box says to use a 5/16 drill bit. That will create a whole that is twice as large as the drywall anchors and will leave the homeowner with a serious problem to address. Likely should be using a 5/32 or something close to that, but be warned, the anchors are very flimsy, you need to be very careful putting them into the wall, dont just bang on them with a hammer, make sure the whole size is appropriate and gently hammer them in. This is a serious problem the manufacture needs to fix, many new homeowners will not recognize this problem before they have put 4 large holes in their wall that they will need to cover up, plus find a different mounting position for the rods. Its a real potential mess. Note also, the rods are flimsy as well, I wouldnt use them if you plan to have more than two curtains hanging. On the plus side, they work as advertised as far as helping to block more light.

so pretty but simple easy install

The rods work fine and are decent for the money, however, on the back it will tell you to drill a "5/16" diameter pilot hole in drywall." ABSOLUTELY DO NOT DO THIS. The drywall anchors are smaller than this (somewhere around 1/4"), will fall right through the wall, and you will be left with a useless, large hole in your wall. You have to either: a) drill a smaller pilot hole like the 1/16" recommended and just use the strangely-long screw with no anchor (but you risk the rod getting pulled out of the wall if it is not in a stud), b) drill a 3/16" or 1/4" hole and attempt to use the included anchors (I do not know which size is better, I did not try this), c) buy actual drywall anchors for $2-$3 at a hardware store. This is what I did. After buying and using real anchors, the rods are fine. They just ended up costing me a few more dollars, multiple trips to a hardware store, and a lot more time than expected. I recommend starting with real drywall anchors and not going through the struggles and panic of trying to use the included ones.
