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

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.

I picked these out with my new curtains and I think they are very pretty and I'm glad I went with these. Now I myself didn't put them up but I put the curtains on there and my cousin who is much taller and didn't require anything to stand on actually put them up. They are very sturdy and made very solid. Watching my cousin it looked very easy and he said it was to hang them up. The only thing is I wish I had a way to hang the curtains and still see some of the rod because my thing now is you can't even really see how nice they look. That of course is my fault but they really are nice l.
