This is not a true tension rod. It requires holes to be drilled for hooks to support it. When extended to 90" without the hooks, it is flimsy and will not stay in place on its own, let alone with the weight of a curtain on it. The listing states "This no-hassle curtain tension rod is the perfect combination of form and function. The adjustable curtain rod extends and holds in place with a simple twist. No tools needed!" which is clearly not the case.
The product description says "Coretto tension rod hangs drapery panels without drilling into trim or walls", which is not true as the item comes with two stabilizing hooks which must be drilled into the wall or ceiling. Defeats the purpose of buying a tension rod.
This rod is so flimsy that it would not support the weight of the curtain I was trying to hang. It started to bow in the middle with only one panel on.
I also needed this item by a specific date... It was listed as available for Amazon PRIME shipping, and since I have PRIME, I thought no big deal. I ordered on Monday and needed the item by Saturday... it did not arrive until the following week in a gigantic box, much larger than necessary without enough packing to stabilize the item from sliding around within the box. Also, someone's car keys were also in the box... and now I have to figure out how to return those too.
I will be returning this item. It is sadly overpriced for the quality.

I needed a long curtain rod to hold sheers inside my windows that jut away from the house a little. These work well enough, but one of the middle hooks fell down. Now I need to use a drill and screwdriver, which I'm not very good at.

This product was so flimsy, that I had to go out and buy extra suction cup clips to hold it up.
It bends and does not stay up on it's own.
I only hung a shower curtain on it and they're much lighter than a drapery would be.
It came with it's own hooks, which would not stick to the marble surface I was installing it on, and the screws were unusable.
I was desperate to get my bathroom finish, and this rod was the last thing to make it complete.
I was so disappointed in this product, but kept it out of desperation.
Like I said before, I had to go out to Lowe's to get the proper hangers to make this work.
Keep looking for a tension rod that will work, this one does not.
If I could get my money back, I would have.:(

This tension rod is just long enough for our window our apartment. Since our windows are rather long, we needed a long tension rod to fit; however, this tension just has enough support to hold itself up. Luckily, the tension rod comes with two hooks to hold it up. It barely holds our curtains up. If you have heavy drapes/curtains, I'd search elsewhere.
