Sloppy craftsmanship, poor quality, defective product
I’ve posted pictures of the sloppy craftsmanship, lack of quality control, & labels improperly affixed to product. In addition the plastic ring provided was too big and didn’t fit the product. The plastic was of such poor quality made it split in several places after one attempt of installing it. Sure, I could fixed their mistakes, drilled the holes, and made additional fixes to make it work, but this is such a simple device to have such poor quality tells me it won’t last. How difficult is it to put the “C” & “D” stickers on the correct end? He had a 50/50 chance of getting it right, and failed. Anyone with vision would have noticed the neither holes were clean, neither bore was complete more like a half attempt and “meh, good enough.” (see pictures), is it really such a sophisticated an item, so complexly engineered the person making, checking or packaging this item didn’t notice these issues? Or did they just not care? Or was it quitting time and he wanted to get out of there? Even the directions were backwards and didn’t match the item - were they old? Or from another item? With this level of quality, I’m guessing it isn’t rust proof and it would break sooner rather than later. Now I get to waste my time returning this item, fortunately I live in a large city and can fritter away a Saturday morning shipping it back. If Iived in a rural area, the headache of returning it would be greater. This shower rod is so simple the fact it was so improperly (half) assembled is telling of a 1 star company. I post this hoping I will spare you the disappointment and time. Not only did I waste my time counting their mistakes, write this review, returning the product but still need a shower curtain. This was a fail. After reading this and you still buy it, open it immediately to make sure all the parts are provided work and are, well...provided. You don’t want to miss your return window. If it isn’t worth returning because you paid so little for it and plan on tossing it in the trash? Please skip buying it, don’t fill our landfills with rubbish. I don’t even think the “ metal” can be recycled. And that is my honest review.
