A: Hi Stephanie - Great question! These curtain rods have a shiny finish. We hope you find what you're looking for! - Alli

A: They have 4 colors... the "chrome" is very shiny (like chrome). Their "nickel" color is a brushed matte color (but it has a peach-gold tint to it... NOT silver-grey like many "nickel" faucets).

A: Hi Stephanie, Our 72" Dual Mount Curved Steel Shower Rod with Tiered End Cap has a matte finish. Thank you.

A: The highlights on the product page states: "Has an extension range of 50in–72in to accommodate your space"

A: Hello Remodeler, Our 72" Dual Mount Curved Steel Shower Curtain Rod with Tiered End Cap, give an additional 8" arm room. Thank you.

A: This rod fits 50-72" wide showers & wider pulls the rod out so it has less curve (you'd only get 8" extra space if your shower is smaller). Our shower is 58" wide & we get about 5-6" extra space.

A: Hello KE, its nickel finish..

A: Saw these in-store & the "nickel" color has a light gold (with a hint of peach) color to it like in the photos. The"nickel" faucets in our bathroom look silver, these rods are NOT the same color.

A: Please explain how we can pull away the support cover Part E (there is no E in instructions)! Instructions for complete removal would be appreciated!

A: Hello Strong5. Please pull away the support cover Part E and loosen the screws using the hex wrench from there you can pull the pole out of Part B. Thank you.
