Tools and Hardware Reviews of 5 ft. Curved Shower Rod - Brushed Nickel
Customer Review: Much better and stylish alternative to adjustable rods
Summary: 5 Stars
After visiting my local Lowes & Home Depot and being unimpressed with their selection of only adjustable rods, I ordered 2 of these for bathroom remodels. Shipping was quick, packaging was good and instructions were simple yet direct. If you follow the directions, installation will be simple. Word of caution though: if at all possible, don't use the giant screw-type drywall anchors that come with this unit. If your drywall is even slightly brittle or you apply too much pressure while screwing them in, you could wind up punching it straight through the wall. I did that with the first one (luckily it still grabbed the wall a bit), but then switched to the regular drill-first-then-hammer-in anchors but still used the supplied screws.
A few positive things to note:
- rod is made for 5' (wall-to-wall) but has about 3' of total play where it slides into the brackets before you have to start cutting. Mine fit perfectly.
- Brackets and rod are very sturdy and the wall anchors (like I said, use your own for drywall) will hold the whole setup rigid.
- Brushed nickel finish is good quality and seems like it will last a long time. It also matches other brushed nickel accessories exactly.
- Oval rod is a nice switch from regular round.
- Simple to install with a level, phillips screwdriver, drill, hammer and ruler.
Some negatives probably not even worth mentioning:
- Although you can hardly see them when everything is installed, the bracket screws are not brushed nickel.
- There will be a small gap where the rod goes into each bracket to allow for the set screw to clamp the rod. I only noticed this when installing. Not so much when installed.
Bottom line - you will really like this unit over the adjustable ones they sell at Lowes or Home Depot. The curtain hooks will not snag since it's a one-piece unit and it gives a very refined look to even the smallest bathroom. This is a great unit for the money. Also, take my negative comments how you will. Just know that I'm the guy that will buy everything possible for my bathroom remodel in quality brushed nickel, even the toilet valve. Yeah, I did that.
