If you have looked at the big box stores and want something better than they offer, this is not it. If you Google "Franklin Brass D190-5BS" you will get to the Liberty Hardware site, which describes this as "commercial bath hardware" and "stainless steel curved shower rod" with "bright stainless steel" finish. The thing that I received had no mention of Franklin Brass or Liberty Hardware on the packaging. It did not have "bright stainless finish", just thin steel tubing with chrome plating as you see in the home improvement places. The ends appear to be chrome plated zinc die cast, the hardware is not stainless steel. There are no installation instructions at all and no warranty, not a piece of paper of any kind, in fact.

The quality is about what you see at Lowes or Home Depot. Amazon offered to return this for free but I kept it as it has a one-piece rod where the others have a two-piece, adjustable rod. Even without instructions, installation is fairly simple.

Have two now for 8 years. So far I've forgotten totally about them except for the extra elbow room each time I shower!

I first experienced this type of shower rod in a Marriot Hotel.Ever since then I have wanted one.It makes your shower feel so much more roomy but it doesn't stick out funny into your bathroom to make the rest of the room feel smaller.My husband is a regular handy man and it took him a little while to install this.If you have to mount it to tile make sure that you have the glass/tile cutting drill bit that will allow you to do this.
