Zenna Home Curved Shower Curtain Rod, No Drill, 50-72 Inch Adjustable Tension Shower Rod for Bathroom, Rustproof, Non-Slip, Adds Room in Shower, Satin Nickel

This gives you lots more elbow room in the shower. It’s pretty sturdy and was easy to install.

Moved this up to 5 stars. Just ordered another one and Zenna Home has fixed al the installation problems. They must pay attention to these reviews. The trim no longer is stuck on and they have eliminated the need for the tiny screws. It is now a breeze to put up and they work great. Get the ball bearing shower rings to easy the telescoping bumps when you open and close the curtain. ********************************** This is a mixed bag. To have an option of a curved tension rod is fantastic. It's up, it works, and I have elbow room, so that is fantastic. The product is not all that well made and it was infuriating to get the trim off the mounting plates (not in the instructions). Two of trim holes were made off and couldn't be used for the tiny Allen wrench screws that are suppose to hold the trim on, so after dropping them at least a dozen times, I gave up and left them off. The trim seems to stay without them, but still shoddy workmanship. The assembly really pissed me off, but I had no trouble putting it up on the wall by myself and tightening it down. The rod looks decent from afar. It a satin nickel finish on light aluminum hardware and the end pieces are a large 4 inches to enable a large rubbery wall pad for grip. The double break for the tension piece, the inserted piece, and the longer outside piece makes for two places for the hooks to catch and looks a bit convoluted. I bought those satin nickel hooks with the rolling balls and they don't seem to have a problem gliding over them. Overall it looks better than plastic and who's all that fussy about a shower rod. In a day or two I'll forget what a pain those crappy little screws were and just enjoy the elbow room washing my hair in the shower. So instructions and installation, get 1 star. Quality control gets 2 stars. (update to 3 stars because I may have messed up the holes getting the trim off) Design and look, get 3 stars. Having a curved, tension, satin nickel finished shower rod for sale gets 5 stars. I'm averaging it to 3 overall. UPDATE: I had to come back and up this to 4 stars because I ordered a second one for another bathroom. Tip on taking trim off: Squeeze the round piece slightly on the sides without the screw holes and push through on the black plastic piece from the oval hole on the other side with your fingers or a non marring stick like the end of a brush. Pops right off. Perhaps I messed up those screw holes on the first one getting the trim off, because on my second one I was able to get the screws in much easier. Still frustrating, but they went in okay. Another thing good about a tension rod is you never have to hem shower curtains, you just raise or lower the shower rod where you need it. A few good twists and it's loose. Also no holes in my new tile shower walls.

We needed a new shower curtain rod for our guest room, since the spring in the cheap old tension rod left behind by the previous owner finally buckled. I wasn't excited about a screw-mounted solution, since the wall is tiled all the way up to the ceiling. Yes, you can drill through tile with the proper bit, but the lifetime of a shower curtain rod is a lot shorter than the lifetime of the tile. I didn't want to start putting holes in things that I might regret later. Tension rods typically aren't as sturdy over the long haul, of course, but that was a sacrifice that seemed worth it to me. I figured I may as well spring for a curved rod while I was at it: we used curved rods at our last house, and the extra elbow room was noticeable. (Also, classy AF.) I was a little nervous about this one, since some of the reviews mentioned difficult installation or poor quality, but I there weren't many alternatives in this price range. The better quality options are nearly twice as expensive, and since this was for our guest bathroom and wouldn't be our daily driver, I figured it was worth the risk. I needn't have worried. Packaging was great, instructions were great, product was great. I've ordered and used some really cheap Made-in-China hardware and home goods over the past few years, and I've seen what crummy products and lousy instructions look like. This thing is luxurious by comparison. The instructions were complete and easy to follow, and the pieces were all clearly labeled as expected. I had the new rod up in about 15 minutes, thanks to a quick assist from my wife to get it into the right position before the final tension-tightening. It's only been up for a few days at this point, but it seems really solid. I don't think it's going anywhere. It looks great and does the job. My only real complaint is that you don't get a ton of extra room from it. This was expected: some reviews mentioned it, and the product description says it'll add about six inches of extra space, while other rods I looked at claimed anywhere from eight to 12. It's definitely more space than you get from a straight rod, but not as much as you'd get from a screw-mounted rod. I suspect it's just difficult to engineer a curved tension-mounted rod at this price point that extends outward any further. I wish it was bigger, but I couldn't find anything in the tension-mount category that was any better at this price point. Overall, I'm really happy with it. I can't vouch for its performance in a shower that sees heavy daily use, but for light duty in our spare bathroom it's absolutely perfect.

For someone else, this curtain rod might be perfect but we were unable to get it to hang without falling. The ends went together easily and I was impressed at that. On the first attempt to hang it, the shower curtain hung too low. The ends of the rod were pressing against the shower insert walls. To move it higher, it needed to be moved to the actual walls. In order to do this, we needed to lengthen the rod adjustment. At this point, we could not get the rod to hang and we gave up. My recommendation is to get the spot for rod length right the first time. I hate to give this a low rating because I feel it was a user/installer issue.

This was a breeze to install and looks great. Pressure mounted and comes with little stickers on every part with letters on them, so that you can match the letters together when you’re putting it together. It is strong and doesn’t move from the tile once mounted. It did leave black marks on the tile as I was installing but they wiped off easily. THIS CANNOT BE SCREWED IN! It is a pressure mounted rod.

Estaba un poco más largo, lo ajuste.😁

Bought this for my camper and it works great. Adds extra space to the shower.

It was so easy to assemble and to put up in the shower. The best part was not needing any tools. There was absolutely NO damage to my new tiles. It's very sturdy, aesthetically it's beautiful. My curtain hooks glide along the pole beautifully, no sticks! It really does seem to give you more room to shower!! To shower without being touched by a cold, gross, shower curtain! I LOVE THIS! Would definitely recommend! Glad I made this purchase.

Absolutely perfect. Really gives that essential extra room. Installation is pretty straight forward after looking at the install guide. Looks great, works with standard shower curtains and rings. No drilling or cutting holes, and all the tools are included. Only gripe is that the aluminum end caps (which are purely for aesthetics) are a little loose and rattle if you touch them. Still, would highly recommend this, the little extra width makes a huge difference.
