Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is exactly what I needed in my newly renovated bathroom; however, the instructions are LAME on how to use this. I'm no dope and I've used tension mounted rods for over 30 years, but this one is different. You need to know the EXACT measurement of where this is being placed since there is ZERO room for error. The 3 sentence instruction sheet tells you to pull the rod out (not twist it like 99% of other rods out there) to the desired length, then add 1" extra for the tension. Well, heaven forbid you pull the rod out a bit too much because once it is out, you can't "twist" it back down to the correct size. Once you twist it, it locks into place and that's the size you are stuck with. And if you "push" it back to reduce the size, whatever locking mechanism is inside this rod breaks and now you have a "no-tension" rod! This should be explained in detail in the instructions but it is not. Fortunately, I can use the now non-tension rod for my bathroom window curtains, but if you don't have a secondary use for it, you're screwed and left with a useless rod. I'm going to order another one now that I know what the deal is with this thing since I still have a need for a tension rod this large in my bathroom. I just wanted to let others know about this "defect" in the product before the same thing happens to them.
