iDesign 78470 Rail, Extra Short Stainless Steel Tension Rod with no Drilling, Modern Telescopic Curtain Pole for Bathroom and Shower, Matte Silver, 66-107 cm

BOUGHT THIS TO HANG A SINGLE CURTAIN INBETWEEN THE UTILITY ROOM AND THE KITCHEN TO STOP A LOT OF COLD COMING THROUGH AS IT IS ALL OPEN PLAN.EASY TO PUT UP.AND IS WORKING PERFECTLY!WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

Arrived this afternoon, less than1 day after ordering. Followed installation instructions. Ideal for the job. Good strong sturdy rod which easily supports a very heavy two layer antifungal shower curtain. Very pleased with my purchase.

Great quality, nice and strong if the rod is level and adjusted correctly. For such a compact and discrete fixture, it is highly functional, offering a rather generous drying capacity when used with suitable hangers. Thanks to the slim profile, it can be easily stored away when not in use.I have successfully used this rod to dry machine washed laundry as well as to drip dry hand wash items and wet coats. As you can see from the photo, the rod is mounted across an 86cm aperture and can handle 6 thick towels and 2 tea towels, all are damp and just removed from the washing machine.Unlike those typical foldable laundry racks that are footprint hungry when unfolded and too bulky for storage, this tension rod doesn't congest any floor space and demands hardly any storage space.The adjustment is pretty easy but the instructions could be made more clearly for less DIY savvy users. This may sound silly to some people, but it is important to note that if you want to adjust the length after the rod has been locked, you must twist it the opposite direction to UNLOCK before sliding the rod to the desired length. Twisting of the rod to lock & unlock must be made only to the section with the sticker, this is the MALE rod.The rod can sometimes be tricky to unlock. If you encounter this issue, you need to create grip by wrapping each rod end with a rubber band and then twist.Although the rod comes with anti slip caps, they are sometimes not grippy enough and the rod can still slide slowly when it is not installed 100% level and also loaded with excess weight. To increase the grip, I have glued the ends with rubbery material for lining kitchen cupboard.UPDATE: Having experimented with this rod for a bit, I realise there is a weight limitation. For my aperture of 86cm, I believe the maximum weight this rod can handle before collapsing is one more damp towel. ( About 7 thick towels is max). I have tried to add a few more but the rod slid down slowly and collapsed after about 15 minutes.

no drilling no fuss works brilliantly

It works welll but def do not put too much weight on it.

Easy to install no drilling required quite a sturdy curtain rod.

This is my second pole, I have had the first one for a few years and it still works perfectly. So much better than thin flimsy ones I have had in the past. The satin finish is beautiful. Once set to the correct width it will not move, even when the pole is being removed frequently. The adjustment mechanism is a bit strange, you have to unscrew the pole from the lock, adjust the width by sliding the two parts of the pole in or out, set it about 3 cm wider than you need because, as you screw the end of the pole into the lock, you tend to lose a bit of width. Keep screwing it in, you think it is never going to lock but it does. Be aware that this is quite a wide heavy weight pole, more like a proper curtain pole.

Easy to use shower pole no drilling stone
