On August 8, 2008:
I'm using these with sheers and drapes. The problem is the drapes are too heavy for the longer length and they don't come supplied with a center bracket to support the weight. I can't find any support brackets to match, so I think I may be resigned to purchasing the adjustable bracket for the decorative rods and hope they work. For smaller windows, they support the weight, but those come supplied with nails rather than screws for the wall-mounting and there's no plastic inserts to keep the drapes and sheers from catching where the rods adjust. Frankly, I am disappointed. The concept is good, but the delivery leaves much to be desired.
