Moen Curved Adjustable Spring Tension No Drill Shower Curtain Rod for Bathroom, Brushed Nickel Finish, CSR2172BN

For yearsI have wanted a curved shower curtain rod for my tub/shower. I've experienced one in my son's guest bath and really enjoyed the extra space that it gives you in the shower. My 35 year old straight tension rod finally gave out so I started my Amazon search for a new one. Most rods that I found had to be permanently mounted (screwed in the tile) and I didn't want to do that for several reasons.Recently I found several available on Amazon that were tension mountable. The only downside was that the added extension depth was only about 6" and I thought that I wanted more than that, I decided to give one a try and I'm glad I did,I chose the Moen version based on their reputation in the plumbing hardware world. It was relatively easy to install. I did it myself but it would have been a little easier with help from one other person.It is sturdy and looks great. I would recommend this rod without reservation!

Easy to install. Very pretty brushed nickel shower curtain rod! Very sturdy and holds the curtain perfect but allows for extra space with the curved feature.

Installed easily and has been holding well after a month. Was impressed with the initial quality

I love the look of this curtain rod OTHER than the fact you can see the tacky looking adjustment buttons. There is no way to hide them, and we always keep our shower curtain open because it’s a small bathroom and make its it seem larger if it’s not closed. So with that being said you always see those dang buttons!But the practicality of it is awesome! It’s sturdy and chic and I’m not worried about it falling down or slipping.I would recommend but keep in mind if the buttons

Being attacked by the shower curtain mid shower is incredibly annoying. This solves it, gives you much more breathing room and no sticking curtain liner. YAY. I love not having to leave drill holes as I'm a renter. Super easy to install, just remember 2 important things. 1. add the end pieces on before you start, and 2. make sure the portion of the bar with the buttons and holes (for getting the correct width) is face down so it will not interfere with your curtain rings. As noted by another reviewer, yes there is some space between the bar and the edge pieces, but there has to be in order to compensate for different angles. Different length showers will result in a different angle coming from the wall. that space is necessary to allow for this. Highly recommend, more space, easy to hang!

You need two people to install it, and even then, it’s a hassle. The black ends have to be lined up perfectly on the wall for the end caps to fit correctly—if they’re even slightly off, they won’t go on. Also, the black ends messed up both my walls. See photos. Then you have to hold the pole steady while also adjusting the tension by either pushing a button into a different hole or twisting a knob at the end. It sounds easy, but it's not. It’s way more complicated than it should be. After all that effort, it still didn’t stay up. I tried three times and then gave up. I returned it. I cut my thumb and damaged both of my walls just trying to install a shower curtain rod. If I could give this product a negative rating, I absolutely would. It’s HORRIBLE. Save your time, money, energy, and sanity—Do NOT buy this rod!

Good quality and easy to install. Price was reasonable for the brand name. Sturdy

It helps to be a mechanically inclined person, but it is well built. It works perfectly. The curve makes my inside liner keep water inside. It looks good and likely won’t rust. The end cups will only snap in at the correct alignment with the inside plastic. Make sure to reverse the tightening knob all the way back first, before installing, to allow for maximum range to secure it. Curve out please. Not down. I ignored the negative video reviews because I saw a pattern, and I could see what they were doing wrong.
