Q: What kind of screwdriver is needed?
submitted by rachelle - 7 years ago
A: it REQUIRES a tool!!! Picture is ROUND but rod is flat. I wish it was round & no tool needed!!!
submitted bybuffy - 6 years agoA: This curtain rod DOES require a tool - a Phillips screwdriver.
submitted byJW - 7 years agoA: The rod has one piece inside the other piece. You slide the pieces to the length needed. There is a small metal piece with a screw that stabilizes and locks the length of the rod. The screw is tightened with a phillips or flat blade screwdriver. I,ve also used a kitchen table knife and think a small coin such as a dime might work.
submitted byisay - 4 years agoA: Incorrect information. A screwdriver is required.
submitted bynot quite - 3 years agoA: Hi rachelle - Thanks for viewing our rod assortment! This tension rod doesn’t require any tools. Slide your favorite curtain or sheer onto this drapery rod, and pop it into place. You’ve instantly got that great look you were after, without any tools or tricky installation. Most importantly, you won’t have to put any holes in the wall. Thanks for hanging out. - Anita
submitted byAnita - 7 years agoTarget staff supportA: You do need a screwdriver but since I didn't have one, scissors worked too.

Q: Looking for a rod for a 36" space. Should I buy the 22-36" or 36-60"?
submitted by Cg - 7 years ago
A: Hi Cg - Thanks for asking! Either size will accommodate your 36" space. Happy shopping! - Shelly
submitted byShelly H - 7 years agoTarget staff supportA: I have found that when you are at the end of the size range, it's better to go up a size. If you don't, the rod will sag in the middle since there isn't enough metal overlap to support the curtain weight. I would buy the larger size based on my experience.

Jamie - 28 days ago, Verified purchaser
Bought two of these, as I thought the price was great. It was my fault for not realizing it was not a tension style rod, instead you have to screw the spring to the desired length then push in, one of the rods screw was stripped and we couldn't tighten it. Decided to return both, as it was a hassle to have to adjust by screwing it down and then it was hard to get even.

Of course, the twist tension rods are more convenient. I like oval shaped tension rods because they're slimmer and cheap curtains seem to hang better. I have a whole set of oval shaped ten rod set look identical that were purchased about fifteen years ago at a reputable hardware chain. Yes, these are inferior, but they are also about half the price that I paid fifteen years ago. Much of the negativity seems to revolve around the nature of these rods, which is tedious. The screw to tighten the spring is temperamental on these rods, which renders their installation even more of a chore. Yes, you might have to adjust several times! That's the nature of the beast. Now, for the rubber tips. I've had twist tension rods at a much higher price point rip the paint off. That being said, please examine the tips of the rods that you're purchasing because some of them clearly had a manufacturing defect. These are certainly not the best oval tension rods that I've purchased in my life, but I was fairly satisfied considering the price point and their immediate availability at the store.

Scratched up my wall in multiple places while trying to keep the rod up. It kept sliding and scratching paint off until it stayed. Looking for a replacement as we speak since it’s bending at the middle with less than 5 pound curtains.

I did not like these curtain tension rods as they were very difficult to install since you had to use 🪛 screwdriver to open and lock in rod. I almost fell off stepladder trying to install, I do not recommend them at all .

Lily - 8 months ago, Verified purchaser
For how cheap it is it works perfectly. I would make sure to measure the space and then have the rod be that length plus 1 inch to be able to fit and be put in correctly. It holds up my curtains perfectly, and I’m using it in front of my closet because it doesn’t have doors. There is a spring and a screw on the back that is able to move, you will need a screwdriver to move it and have it be kept in the desired spot. But can’t beat a 6 foot rod for $7 that requires one tool.
