Moen Curved Adjustable Spring Tension No Drill Shower Curtain Rod for Bathroom, Brushed Nickel Finish, CSR2172BN

easy to install, looks great, and is really sturdy

For yearsI have wanted a curved shower curtain rod for my tub/shower. I've experienced one in my son's guest bath and really enjoyed the extra space that it gives you in the shower. My 35 year old straight tension rod finally gave out so I started my Amazon search for a new one. Most rods that I found had to be permanently mounted (screwed in the tile) and I didn't want to do that for several reasons. Recently I found several available on Amazon that were tension mountable. The only downside was that the added extension depth was only about 6" and I thought that I wanted more than that, I decided to give one a try and I'm glad I did, I chose the Moen version based on their reputation in the plumbing hardware world. It was relatively easy to install. I did it myself but it would have been a little easier with help from one other person. It is sturdy and looks great. I would recommend this rod without reservation!

I LOVE this shower rod! Easy to install and use, and it has really good hold! Excellent buy for renters who don’t want to (or know how to) go through the drama of drilling through bathroom tile. So far, it’s lasted about 3 mos since I installed it, and hasn’t fallen down at all…even with shower curtain, exfoliating tool, and wet face towel hanging on it (don’t judge me!😂).

This shower curtain rod is great! I thought the instructions were clear and it was easy enough to hang in my bathroom by myself, about 30 mins from box to shower. Took a little fiddling to adjust the overall length and then the tension at the end, but for the extra space i get in my shower, the 30 min install was worth it! The worst part about this curtain rod is the lip between the 2 telescoping rods. My curtain hooks were stuck on it but a quick fix with a cut open straw and some masking tape made the hooks glide like butter up and down the entire length of the rod. Easy fix!

Worth the money. The tension mechanism is the best ice lve used and had no problem with the end caps. Setup was not hard

I really loved this shower rod when I first purchased it but I am so DISSAPOINTED on how badly it rusted!!!!! MOEN is supposed to be a top brand for bathroom fixtures and should NEVER rust. Please enlarge the pics to see better- this was AFTER I tried to scrub as much off as I could. I do have pics before cleaning it but for whatever Amazon keeps giving me an error when I try to attach them....

It helps to be a mechanically inclined person, but it is well built. It works perfectly. The curve makes my inside liner keep water inside. It looks good and likely won’t rust. The end cups will only snap in at the correct alignment with the inside plastic. Make sure to reverse the tightening knob all the way back first, before installing, to allow for maximum range to secure it. Curve out please. Not down. I ignored the negative video reviews because I saw a pattern, and I could see what they were doing wrong.

I'm very happy with this curtain rod. It is heavy duty, looks modern, and hasn't shifted or fallen down. A bit fussy to put up, and it's best to have a second pair of hands! Made a real difference in how much space I have in the tub/shower now, even though it only adds a few inches.

Really great quality and very easy to install. Very sturdy once installed. Would highly recommend !

Quite strong certainly much stronger than I thought it would be Glad I made the choice as I thought it might be flimsy but certainly isn't

As described in the ad. Looks good, works well, easy to install within a few minutes, quality seems good. Don’t forget to slide the little plastic piece into place where the 2 poles meet to allow your shower curtain to slide easily. This is my kids bathroom, so the tension is nice and tight to prevent them pulling down and breaking another one, and also gives them a few extra inches of elbow room.

Like some indicated, had some trouble snapping one of the covers. Instructions from Moen weren't the clearest but figured it out. The rubber Ring inside the covers needs to be properly aligned and the tension rod can't be at the Max otherwise it won't reach and won't snap. Got a great deal on it from Amazon warehouse probably because the person who purchased it before me gave up. Looks good, does what it is supposed to do. Holds firmly. The plastic gasket you need to place at the joint bridges the gap between the two rods perfectly so the shower curtain can slide smoothly. That little plastic ring is easy to overlook if you don't know what you are doing. Probably best to take your time, look at all the parts and be two to install it. Great deal, good product, provides the extra 6 inches inside the shower, adjustable, no need to drill the tiles, looks good, thumbs up! 👍

Nice curved adjustable tension shower curtain rod. Really simple to install without having to drill anything into the wall. The Rod uses tension to hang and is pretty sturdy once installed. The only two minor issues we had was: 1. The end covers are pretty large and bulky. Although they look nice and do a good job covering the part that attaches the rod to the wall (which is plastic and not very pretty) the shower curtain rings can’t really be pushed right up to the wall because it can’t fully get over the end cover. This leaves about a 2inch gap between curtain and wall on both ends when fully closed especially at the top (you can pull the curtain closer to the wall the further from the top you get. We didn’t really find this to be a major issue With water getting out but would feel better if the shower curtain could get slightly closer to the wall. 2. The rod is adjustable and the adjustment holes are in the middle of the rod so really visible when the curtain is open. Not sure if this is standard with all tension rods but would much prefer the adjustment to be off to either side. Either way still very happy with it and if those two things don’t bother you You will be happy with the purchase.
