Zenna Home Tension Shower Curtain Rod, White, 27 to 40 Inches – Premium Steel Adjustable Shower Curtain Rod for Bathroom, Easy No Drill Install – Rust Resistant Spring Tension Shower Curtain Bar

I ordered this & I'm using it as a curtain rod. High quality, easy installation, looks very nice, definitely rust resistant, & looks great on my window for my curtains. Highly recommend buying for a curtain rod or for use as a shower curtain rod.

Works as described. Like most of the rods now, you have to turn the one side until it’s tight enough to hold tension. Nice established, it’s never moved

This tension rod appears to be unique in simplicity. Most use a spring which needs to be correctly set to the right tension to hold the rod in place, and in my experience, the spring eventually rusts or fails. This rod uses a strong plastic "bolt" (for lack of a better word) that is friction fit at the user-adjusted length, with a simple twist of the rod. If you remove the inner rod from the outer one, you'll be able to examine this plastic bolt and get a better idea of how it works. Works great for me! I was so impressed after installation, I ordered a second one.

A very nice looking rod that is holding up well as far as holding onto the curtain and maintaining a nice look. I ended up having to put a permanent rod holder (made for closet rods) in place on the shower walls to hold it, though. It came down during use - let's say my husband was less than pleased to be in the shower and have the rod and curtain fall down. However, it is made as well as any I saw in the stores, for a better price, and now that it is secured from falling, it's a nice replacement. The gasket that is supplied to hold the rod at the desired length does not stay in place well, which is why the rod fell. Our shower is fiberglass, so there is some give to the area of placement - if your walls are solid, I doubt this would be a problem - you would likely be able to tighten the spring enough without risking a crack in the fiberglass and eliminate the concern.

I purchased one of these spring tension rods 13 years ago. It’s still working despite moving house tree times since then. Back to buy another and hoping the construction hasn’t changed! **PLEASE NOTE: This review is for the chrome bar with an ACTUAL SPRING in it. The white bar has NO SPRING and it’s some ridiculous model that you have to extend and twist. They NEVER STAY PUT. IMO it’s deceptive and irresponsible of this company to list these under the same name/ description and have the same set of reviews apply to both because they are NOT the same. I wasn’t even able to leave a separate review for the white one. The white one isn’t worth your time.**

This product is flimsy and falls down frequently. After only a few months, the rod is now not functional at all. The Zenna company will not stand behind their shower curtain rod and are now trying to blame me for their flimsy product failing. I have owned and used tension shower curtain rods for a long time and this is the only one that has ever failed. It is not operator error. I would strongly recommend purchasing a sturdier shower curtain rod with a manufacturer that stands behind their product.

Perfect!

A bit hard to figure out how to get it to adjust when you assemble it. It was not as easy as we thought it would be. The item ended up not fitting as well as expected it slid down easily.
