5 ft. Crescent Shower Rod - Brushed Nickel

This is a high quality looking and fitting product at a reasonble price.Why on earth didn't they only make curved shower rods from day one?It's a practical product.

I found the install easy AND listen to their suggestion of securing it 3 inches in from where your current straight shower rod centers.

I was able to put it up alone in about 1 hour unpacking, reading, getting the tools (screw driver, electric drill, 1/4" drill bit, shop vacuum (tile dust from drilling!), and a level.

You could do it with a measuring tape instead of a level no problem.

I have an old, shorter tub so I had to cut off about 1.25 inch of tube from each end.I used a pipe cutter for this, but a hack saw would also work with little problem.

This is a very good looking product when done (I got the nickel plated one).I recommend it to give us people a little more room in the shower.

This product does what it says--opens up your shower area to give you more space and make you feel less cramped in the shower.The brushed nickel is stylish and attractive, and lends a "designer" feel to your bathroom. I'm highly satisfied with mine.

OK, we purchased this item through Amazon in December 2007. Along with this rod, we also purchased "Shower Curtain Rings (Set of 12) Satin Nickel." For both of these, , LLC. was the seller and shipper.Now a little over a year later, the shower rod is rusting.

I called , LLC. customer service just to ask if they'd received any other calls on this rod rusting.The lady I spoke with (very nice and courteous) placed me on hold as she checked.After a few minutes, a gentleman named Kevin returned; Kevin identified himself as one of e, LLC. owners.He said he'd just spoke with the supplier (Shower Solutions) and confirmed the rod only has a 1 year warranty.He suggested I contact Shower Solutions.

I called Shower Solutions; Kevin had given me their number.The lady I spoke with said she wasn't aware of any rusting problems with this rod.I asked her if she knew the rod's base metal; she said it was just regular steel.I said I was just curious if the base metal was perhaps stainless steel, brass, or some other non-rusting metal alloy.She said the rod is steel with a nickel plating.She asked what curtain rings we were using.When I told her we were using metal rings we'd also purchased from , LLC. through Amazon, she said the metal to metal contact was likely causing the rust.However, I explained to her the rings we'd purchased were solid brass with a satin nickel finish (plating), and neither of these metals rust.Also, I told her the rings aren't showing any signs of rust!She had no answer and suggested I try polishing the rod to remove the rust.

So, what's up with this rust?First, I find it interesting how Shower Solutions points a finger at the metal shower rings as the problem.Second, if the rings are the problem (I'm confident they aren't), why wouldn't , LLC. place a caution on their listing for the shower rod to NOT use any metal rings with it?Finally, where's the quality?We paid $50.94 for this shower rod, and we believe it shouldn't rust!

I'm now looking for a replacement rod which is unquestionably stainless.My thoughts on this rusting rod are simple; it's likely very, very thin plating over improperly prepared base metal.I gave it 2 stars because its 2 mounting brackets are strong and easy to mount.
