I purchased rods, finials, brackets, and elbows for a large window and a bay window. I was absolutely satisfied with the solid build and material quality and finish for all the pieces in this set -- in stark contrast to what I've come to expect in a world full of Made in China junk. I was also impressed that, every piece is individually packaged inside thick, heavy plastic and all well packed. It would be hard to imagine any shipping damage with the normal (rough) handling.

The finish and appearance of this set is excellent, and holds up in a room with some pricey curtains, wallpaper, and furniture, etc. Also, installation is about as easy as you could hope for. If you do it yourself, just remember to measure twice, and cut, drill, etc. once.

One comment on the finish: The antique finish on the rods is significantly lighter than on the other hardware. My wife was concerned when she first saw it, but it looked fine for us once installed. Just make sure to consciously appreciate the distinction in appearance between antique brass vs. antique bronze.

In short, it's a great line of hardware, with good solid materials, and to me at least, a very reasonable value for the price.
