Perfect fit
Got this so avoid drilling into my rental, and it works great. Does the job, i measured my window area and it fits perfectly, has not started to fall, i have textured walls and its holding up. It is a little bigger on the ends and i struggled to fit the curtain hole around the ends but got them on.

Color: NickelSize: 78-108"Style: IndoorVerified Purchase
The Amazon Basics Tension Curtain Rod is a versatile and practical solution for hanging curtains in any room of your home. As someone who values both style and functionality in home decor, I've found this curtain rod to be a reliable and affordable option that exceeds expectations in both categories.

First and foremost, let's talk about versatility. This tension curtain rod is adjustable from 78 to 108 inches in width, making it suitable for a wide range of window sizes and configurations. Whether you're dressing up a small bedroom window or spanning a large picture window in your living room, this curtain rod provides a customizable fit that ensures a polished and professional look every time.

One of the standout features of the Amazon Basics Tension Curtain Rod is its ease of installation. Unlike traditional curtain rods that require drilling holes and mounting hardware, this tension rod installs quickly and easily with no tools or hardware required. Simply extend the rod to the desired width, twist to secure in place, and hang your curtains for instant privacy and style.

In terms of design, this curtain rod strikes the perfect balance between classic elegance and modern simplicity. The nickel finish adds a touch of sophistication to any decor style, while the classic finial design lends a timeless aesthetic that complements a variety of curtain styles and patterns. Whether you prefer sleek and minimalist curtains or bold and vibrant prints, this curtain rod provides a versatile backdrop that enhances your window treatments without overpowering them.

Durability is another area where the Amazon Basics Tension Curtain Rod excels. Constructed from high-quality materials, including sturdy steel and durable plastic components, this curtain rod is built to withstand the weight of even heavy curtains without bending or sagging over time. Additionally, the tension mechanism provides a secure and stable hold, ensuring that your curtains stay in place and look great for years to come.

Overall, I highly recommend the Amazon Basics Tension Curtain Rod to anyone in need of a stylish and practical solution for hanging curtains in their home. With its adjustable width, easy installation, classic design, and durable construction, this curtain rod offers everything you need to enhance the look and functionality of your windows with ease. Say goodbye to complicated installations and hello to effortless style with the Amazon Basics Tension Curtain Rod.

PROs:
+ Lightweight, good for apartment showers
+ Easy to install
+ Does what it needs to

CONs:
- Cheap materials unsuitable for a home with upgraded fixtures
- Instructions are incorrect

Another review (by Robert Laughlin on July 17, 2023) reported that the instructions were incorrect for the curtain rod.

To confirm what he reported, the instructions I received were not accurate with the product I received. This is not a "compress and tension" rod like it says, which is a bit misleading. This is a standard curtain rod that you rotate to extend into place. There was some give, but nowhere near enough compression to follow the instructions of extending 2" beyond the wall and then compressing into place.

The rod I received extends by rotation, so you simply rotate the rods and it will telescope out slowly. Once in place, the rod seems to hold securely thanks to the rubber feet. It was easy enough to install once I figured the instructions were incorrect.

The material is very lightweight, but the nickel finish is nice and suits the rest of my bathroom fixtures. The shower curtain glides easily along the bar which is a big improvement over the rod it replaced, which would annoyingly catch the curtain rings as they slid. For an apartment shower, this should be just fine. But if you have nicer furnishings or a house with superior build quality, you will want to look elsewhere. This is a very middle-of-the-line curtain rod.

This is a very nice tension rod. I used it to hang a valance over a window that is between two cabinets. The rods fits nicely and the grippers on each end ensure that it it stable. I know that the rod is listed as a shower curtain rod but I would be hesitant to use it for that as it is quite lightweight. If you have curtains or a valance to hang this should do the trick!

Feels solid. I am using it outside to hang a curtain for a balcony divider that has a frosted glass divider so I can have more privacy. It is installed between two concrete walls on my balcony and despite lots of wind and the curtain blowing around it has held up strong and hasn't fallen. Would recommend.

Purchased a few of these to replace some rods around the house. Super easy to install- just level it across and twist to tighten. They've held up with some heavier curtains on them for some time so are working great. Only issue is- I want a couple more and each time I check, they're out of stock.
