Mainstays 1" Black Adjustable Tension Window Curtain Rod, 48- 84"

I really like this curtain rod. I needed one to use for a shower curtain (on the back wall, curtain doesn't move) for a 6' tub. This is a heavier duty, brushed nickel, tension curtain rod that looks and works very nicely. We had a small diameter silver one that I've replaced probably 3 times in a year due to it bending when I took the curtain down to wash it. This one works great and the price right!

This color is gorgeous. I didn't expect it to look so nice! The only con is the sub-par quality reveals itself when you place the curtain rings on the bar. The bar gets scratched very easily at the slightest touch by those things. To avoid that you have to overstretch the rings, warping them out of shape a bit. If you need shorter term affordability, this is the way to go.
