Squared Away™ NeverRust™ Aluminum Tension Shower Rod in Brushed Nickel

This worked for about a year and a half but won’t stay up anymore. The locking mechanism is not very good (doesn’t seem to really expand the rod to be tight) and the end pieces should have a soft foam, or maybe silicone rubber to give a better grip on the shower walls. I need to replace it now and will not buy this again.

the rod is aluminum and is durable. However, the ends of the rod are plastic. You need to tighten the rod in order for it to stick to the wall. One of the ends quickly cracked as soon as I put it on.

Does not stay up. Rubber on ends does not come out far enough.

This shower rod has no spring to add tension. You can twist it super tight to the wall, but it falls when you slide the shower curtain. It may stay in place for a few days if not used, but falls on its own. Aggravating! I strongly recommend NOT buying it!

I wish I had had more choice of what to purchase but I desperately needed a curtain rod and this was the only one in stock. We can’t even get it installed because it cannot be tightened. Tried it on both a 5’ area and 6’ and couldn’t get it to tighten enough even to support a small nudge. Unusable!

I was all set to purchase this rod until I read the reviews. I thought surely it has improved in over ten years! Apparently not! I’ve always had a problem with this rod falling down. Now that I’m older with an arthritic shoulder, it’s no small chore to put it back up. How could BBB sell a known defective product for so long?!? No wonder this once fantastic store is in financial straights.

This was one of the only shower rods available at my local store, and worked for a week or so, but after falling once, refuses to retighten. I would like a replacement or refund. Given the number of dissatisfied reviews, the product should be discontinued or improved. It doesn’t seem likely that a replacement would be any more effective.

This rod does not hold. If you are putting in your shower and have any unevenness with your tile, the show rod will not stay up no matter what you try. Twisting to lock does not lock in place. Having to order another product. Cannot recommend this product under any circumstances.
