elegant finial on oversize rod
February 27, 2013
The oversize finial with a beaded inset has a good pewter finish and color, looking antique, and justifying the vintage descriptor. It is a good match for the over-sized span of the draperies.

Hardware should be better quality
December 23, 2012
Rods and Finials are fine quality, but the hardware is lacking. Two of the anchors broke (tips came off when they hit a stud) and 1 screw head came off while installing. There were no extras so I had to go purchase replacements at the hardware store, pull out the broken pieces and reinstall the brackets. Complete pain. Probably wouldn't buy again as I was surprised by the flimsiness.

Beautiful and held together well
November 10, 2012
Because I did not install the middle bracket in a stud and without an anchor (my bad), the bracket came loose and I had to go back about 5 steps to re-install. The rods was very durable during this process (I will spare you the long boring details but part of it was the rod coming apart from the weight). And yes, the finials are also iversized and beeeeautiful!!!!! Very happy. I bought the double XL size.

Beautiful hardware
October 28, 2012
I gave it 4 stars instead of5 because there were some scratches on the rod but they will covered up by the curtains. Love the thickness and how large the finials are, much bigger than I expected.

Stunning Curtain Rod
September 11, 2012
I purchased the oversized curtain rod in oil-rubbed bronze and it is a perfect complement to my home decor. It is well made and easy to install.

I was pleasantly surprised at this rod I ordered. It is unique and antique looking. I ordered the one with the glass ball finials and I have gotten so many comments on it! The quality, craftsmanship of the rod is great. Love it!

Not PB Quality
March 23, 2012
I purchased this drape rod because the size of my windows required an oversized rod in the silver/brushed metal color. I have many of PB drape rods, but all are in the oil rubbed bronze color and they are fine quality. The brushed nickle, however, rubs off with the tiniest scrape (when threading the pole through the brackets) or when you move the drapery rings. Additionally, I don't know if the brackets aren't the proper size for the bar of this size/weight or the dry wall screws aren't substantial enough, but they pulled out of our drywall a number of times which caused patching and required drilling additional holes. PB was kind enough to send us another pole due to the extreme scraping of our first one which we were VERY CAREFUL hanging. The finials also look a little bent at the ends and aren't a perfect fit. Had I known all of this before starting this project, I never would have bought this rod, but after all the effort it took, we just left the darn thing up there.

Disappointed
March 9, 2012
The rods extensions seemed plastic looking, with rings that connected the rod and extension part were cheap looking. The finials didn't match the rods in color, the rods were a nice shiny color, the finials were a dark dirty color. This was in the vintage silver / pewter color.

Disappointed with Quality
April 18, 2011
I purchased the beaded rods and finials in oil rubbed bronze. While their design looks gorgeous, we are returning them. The finials didn't screw on straight to the rods, AND the rod finish got scratched off before we even finished installing them. I think they will continue to get scratched especially with grommet panels.

Heavy-duty drapery rod
October 21, 2010
I received 2 of these rods about 2 weeks ago and absolutely love them. Their vintage look is identical to the picture and fits my decor perfectly. I have never purchased curtain rods without a middle support and was a bit skeptical at first. I shouldn't have been! I have four heavy cotton drapes hung from one rod and it supports them beautifully. Typical Pottery Barn product.....well made and beautiful to look at.
