Thank goodness for PinterestLoriI wanted one curtain rod to span most of the width of my living room wall. I searched from the big box stores to online specialty shops and found nothing. Then I saw just what I was looking for on Pinterest which led me to IKEA. I bought two rod sets and used the large ends on both and the smaller inside tube to connect and strengthen both ends.
Buying both Hugad rods, brackets and end caps was cheaper than buying the fancy end caps at Lowe’s/Macys. I have found that I really like the clean look that doesn’t compete with my drapes.5
The best value and qualityAncaThe best value and quality hands down5
Bent and stuck in the middle.ShuangyanI ordered three online. Two of them bent in the middle. The package was fine, so the bent didn't seem to be caused by delivery. The inner rod got stuck by the bent. It won't extend to my desired length. Very disappointed. I live 30 mins away from IKEA at Katy, so I ordered online. Won't return because of the long drive. I have a previous rod on my window. There is a white sticker that won't easily come off, just as another customer reviewed. Won't order anymore. 1
Finials don’t fitWendyThe Raffig finials that your website says to complete with the Hugad don’t fit. The screw is larger than the hole on the rod3

Inept IkeaNathaniel1. Who puts a sticker that leaves permanent residue in the ONLY spot it will be visible once assembled?
2. The thick end of the rod does not fit if the rubber piece is used. If that piece is not used, there's 0 friction and it just slides around with the curtains.1
Thicker rods smoother on ring curtains etcRoseI replaced lg dia. Rod with ikea smaller rod as sturdy and drapes slide better 5

Nice large pole that’s a great replacement to expensive pottery barn rodsKevinUsed these and got a pottery barn look for half the price. Also used them with outdoor drapes in the covered porch and they are going on two years out there and looking great5

I have been using this rod system for yearsHarveyI love this rod & bracket system, and it's versatility. But - why does Ikea put labels / stickers on this product that do not peel right off?. They are very difficult to remove, it takes chemicals. And they are nearly always still visible after installation, since they are at the end of the rod next to the finial. A lot of unnecessary work to remove them.3
