Buy InterDesign York Medium Shower Curtain Tension Rod, Polished Stainless Steel, 43 to 75-Inch Now
The InterDesign shower curtain rod is the best I have tried.It is easy to install and stays in place.The instructions are simple and clear.Extend the rod to 1" longer than the opening, twist the rod (several turns) to lock it to that length, then compress the spring-loaded rod and position it in place.It maintains tension with effective spring pressure and larger ribbed pads hidden in the ends.This rod has a quality finish and is nicely made.The tension rods sold by Lowes, Home Depot, and Target are junk and cost more.They are tricky to install and tend to fall down.They use a touchy twist lock (half turn) to set length, and you must screw out one of the end caps to apply tension.If you just slightly turn the rod while turning the end cap, the lock releases, the rod falls, and you try again -very aggravating!Since there's no continuous spring pressure, they eventually slip and fall anyway.None of these factors apply to the InterDesign tension rod.the adjustment procedure is tedius. I could not get the level of tension that I get with a standard twist tensionI was a bit disappointed in this product.The rod itself looks very nice and matches perfectly with other items I purchased for our newly remodeled bathroom.My complaint is with the spring inside the tension rod.After adjusting it only twice to get the right fit, the spring seemed to no longer want to hold the tension.We did manage to finally get it to hold into place, but my husband worried that if we had to fit it again, it wouldn't stay.Now I'm a bit worried it will come down without warning.Perhaps this is an operator error on our part, but it keeps me from giving it a higher rating.
