Based on past experience, I ordered this with apprehension...tension rods have a knack for clattering down when you so much as slide the shower curtain across.Not this one.Whether it's the quality of design or my bathroom remodeler's skill in installation, this one has been up for 9 months and hasn't budged.I even hang as many as a half-dozen sweaters and t-shirts (on hangers) on the rod to dry, with no problem, though I suppose it'd be stupid to tempt fate by tossing a sopping-wet blanket over the rod.It looks nice and an occasional swipe with a Windex-covered paper towel keeps it that way.Very satisfied.

This rod is just ok.It stay up fine, and looks decent.However, I was disappointed because for the price, I thought parts of this (specifically the end caps) would be genuine chrome.They are not.Everything is a "chrome finish".Presumably real/solid chrome would be too heavy for a tension mount application, and I was fine with the pole itself being made of a lighter weight non-solid chrome, but again, I was hoping the end caps would be real chrome.Also, regarding the price, this item is actually made by Zenith and you can get the Zenith version for about half the price and it is identical.It you look online at the pictures for both, you will see the Speakman rod and Zenith rod are the same photo.Although I ordered the Speakman rod, the box I received said Zenith on it.So if you like the looks of this item and are ok with the chrome "finish", then save yourself some money and do a search on Google shopping for the best price you can find on the Zenith one.I would have given it four stars if it weren't for the fact that it's overpriced and you can get the same thing for less.(As for me, I'm returning mine and will be getting a real chrome rod, which I can only find in a screw mounted version, so out comes the drill...)
