Umbra Cappa Double Curtain Rod (120-180-Inch, Brass)

I really want to like this double rod but I don't appreciate receiving a defective product. As far as "you get what you pay for," No. I understand that the price is much lower than most, but I would still expect a product to be free of defect. Upon opening the box, the finials fell to the floor. Several of them were broken. The next thing I noticed, the rods appeared to be a brushed bronze color- I ordered black. The third thing I noticed, the rods were scratched and the color was chipped here and there. A disappointment.

This rod is advertised as stretching 144”-180”, but it only comes with 3 brackets, which is wholly inadequate. I have it set to about 160”, and even with no curtains on it the rods are already bowing between brackets. They are too thin and flimsy to stretch 80” unsupported. They bounce and spin with barely a touch, I can’t imagine trying to slide curtains across them. They need AT LEAST 4 brackets. I have contacted Umbria’s customer support about this deficiency, requesting more brackets be sent, and have received no response.Additionally, as others have said, the drywall anchors and screws that come with it are a joke. The screws spin freely in the anchors, and they’re too short to trigger the anchor to open in the wall and truly be secure.Overall, with the rod installed as is, I do not trust it at all to hold curtains of any weight.

The Pro: These rods are well made and well packaged.The Con: The brackets are not sturdy at all since the holders cups are pretty far out. It bounces when you slide curtains. Time will tell if it ever permanently deform. The worst part is the drywall anchor. The screw can free spins inside. I had to pull their trash drywall anchors out.Conclusion: If you want to get these rods, you will need to buy some sturdy brackets and good drywall anchors/screws.

These are really cute and everything in the pics is accurate, but the rods don't twist with threading to secure them, so they bow in the center. Perhaps sizing up would have works (they are just slightly longer than my windows, so they are extended almost all the way). So, that's the advice I'd give to someone looking to buy them. We ended up drilling holes in the rods and putting a screw through them to (somewhat) secure them.

you caN’t go wroNg with this purchase! well made & well packaged!

When I opened the package, I noticed that the end caps were missing and had broken off. After searching the shipping box I was able to locate the missing caps. The weld that holds them together had come undone completely and would not securely fasten onto the rod(smaller diameter inner rod). I tried to screw it on and hope that it would at least remain attached through balance, however it falls off and is very dangerous should it fall onto the eye or facial area. There is also no way to secure the extension rod inside the main rod housing once the desired length is reached. Normally you can rotate an inner rod until it tightens itself to hold the desired length. This model however just slides back and forth and you have to HOPE it won't move after hanging.

We purchased this for our nursery and love how it looks. It's very sturdy and easy to install (at least we think... continue reading). We love the matte black look, it's modern without looking cheap, and I like that the end caps aren't some super elaborate, feminine piece like a lot of curtain rods. The only reason I rated this 4 star is because there are absolutely no instructions, and with each rod there seems to be an extra insert. I'm guessing that's to use if you have an extra wide window, but it would be nice to have some sort of instructions included to make sure we're installing it correctly. My husband is an engineer so we figured it out, but were definitely confused for quite some time trying to figure out what we were looking at.

Very elegant. It suits a scandinavian or farm house themed house. Easy to install got 1 more extra long one of this

I absolutely love the colour of this double rod. The colour is very elegant however the 66 inch+ rod is made of 3 pieces so when the curtains are drawn open it shows. Both rods, the main rod and the smaller back rod are made of 3 pieces. Unfortunately that detail (which I consider it to be a major one) makes it look cheap - a little Frankenstein... Probably going to return it because of that.

I am glad I bought this curtain rod. It looks just as its pictured. I needed really long curtain rods for a decent price and this was the best one I could find, especially for a double rod. They were easy to install and there are no issues with the quality.

Umbra curtain rods seem to be my favorite! I have various style Umbra curtain rods in every room in my house! These ones are equally as impressive. Simple, sturdy and chic!

Nice simple double curtain rod for a great price. It was well packaged when arrived. The rods feel nice and sturdy. It was easy to put up and install.

I needed a curtain rod that was ideally more than 180”. I was able to extend this one to about 185”with the help of a couple dowels that I purchase from the local hardware store and it works well! The color is a bit more yellow than brass to me, but for the price, can’t complain.
