Zenna Home Adjustable Shower Rod, 44" to 72", Permanent Wall-Mounted Shower Rod, Easy to Install, Rust Resistant, Chrome

Speaking from the voice of experience, I can highly recommend this Shower Rod as the one to get if you want the job done right, simply and once and for all! In my humble opinion, from bitter experience, all those "simple" "tension-mount" shower rods now featured and sold all over town are the lazy man's/woman's joke! I was one of those people. Yes, in a few minutes time, you can hold each of those tension-mount shower rods over your head with both hands, and try to balance it level, align it perfectly with left and right walls, and simultaneously push your arms out in opposite directions against each wall! How simple! If that sounds difficult for something supposed to be "simple", don't worry because you are going to get lots of practice, putting it up over and over again, every time a feather drops or a bird outside sneezes, or you carelessly touch the shower curtain with your elbow while trying to enjoy a hot shower! Figure about 3X a week minimum! This Zenith Decorative Screw Mount Shower Rod, Chrome, 72 Inches on the other hand is a dream to put up, one hand at a time! It has an ingenious mounting system, consisting of two hidden circular nylon wall mounts, each of which attaches to the wall with two anchored screws, both of which are completely hidden by the attractive flush mount end piece which snaps onto and completely hides the wall mount. Using a yardstick, a spirit level, a pencil, a drill and a screw driver, it was simple to do a perfect job of mounting the wall mounts on opposite walls. Then came the neatest part - each nylon wall mount has two small "fingers" or pillars in its center, over which fit two holes pre-punched into each end of the rod. Therefore, no balancing act or juggling act is required - you just drop the rod onto the pillars, through the end holes, one at a time, slide the rod-mounted fancy circular covers over to the end, snap them in place concealing the mounts, the screws, the punched holes in the rod and the tiny pillars, and you're done! Never to have to pick up a wet shower curtain and rod and mount it again! This is a high-quality, well-designed and attractive system. I hope my favorable review does not drive the price up, because this is, in addition, a bargain when compared to the tension-mount rods!

It is a very good product easy to install love it

It was easy to install. Just screw each nylon mount to the wall. I added a dab of RTV adhesive to the back for some added strength. The rod has very thin walls. Definitely light duty. The end caps are plastic. It does the job holding up a showerc urtain for a tub we never use.

Horrible cheap product. Arrived with broken plastic end installers. Hoped to be able to work around the issue. Not possible unless I used silicon as a temp fix. I bought this product because it looked okay on AMAZON and I'm in a hurry to get ths project done. Complete waste of time and money. I regret not having read the reviews before purchasing. I'm returning it but don't know if I will be refunded. Useless item sorry that it's going to take up space in a landfill. I already boxed it for return or I would have included a photo, sorry dear reader.

Product is simple, cheap, and effective and does what it is supposed to do. The rod is a little flimsy though so we will see how it holds up. I don't think I would trust it fully extended to 72" though. Luckily our shower is only 60" wide.

My shower rod does double duty, serving also as a place to drip dry laundry. Because tension rods cannot withstand the added weight, I went in search of a screw mount rod. The Zenith rod sounded like the perfect solution. As advertised, the rod is adjustable and the end cap covers neatly hide unsightly screws. But while the color is "chrome", the materials definitely are not! The rod is a lightweight metal with a dull finish. (I disguised some light scratches with polish.) The end cap covers are plastic; mine were nicked. Even the end caps which are mounted to the wall are vinyl. (Their durability remains to be seen.) The instructions were clear and the rod mounted easily. It is serviceable, but definitely not an attractive rod.

the shower rod was very easy to install and it looks really nice. so yes it met my expectations!

I've installed more shower rods and doors than I can remember, and this reasonably priced, no frills, easy to install and replace shower rod is a good buy. Now hopefully the chrome doesn't rust in a year lol.

Definitely doesn't feel as solid as the old style in your mom and dad's bathroom, but I didn't hear any swearing when hubby installed it so that's a good sign. Looks just fine.

Super cheaply made and I only received half the rod. It wasn’t worth returning.

Advertised as chrome -- it's colour may be chromem it is such light weight plastic it couldn't survive shipping. Terrible product.
