Source Global Universal Add a Rod, 28-Inch to 70-Inch, Metallic Gold

updating my review: They are still holding after several years. I found this review because i now have a need for adding a blockout curtain as the most inside layer...visiting grand babies need dark for naps. I have to find a solution.First review: The first one I ordered I returned. I couldn't get the pieces apart. totally jammed in. The second 2 (turned out I needed 2) were easier to separate but I am skeptical they will hold up. I love the idea, and already had 2 source global poles. 1 up high for a very long valance and another at 84" for a panel. When we got new (Casement) windows the verticals didn't fit so I had a situation...privacy in a bedroom. After lots of thought I decided to put in sheers and solid gullible panels over. That meant 3 layers, or adding another. This worked to add the sheer layer BUT I am glad it isn't holding a heavier drape! The little hooks that push into the end of the rods just aren't stable, even with a screw. I won't be surprised if they come loose if tugged on but it is the best/only option I found. OTOH, I love the heavier rods. yes, I used the center from the main pole and had to buy 2 sets. If I hadn't had the 2 poles already (several years) another rod would have been cheaper.

Excellent product! So happy that someone designed and marketed this. Turn just about any curtain rod into a double so you can put a sheer behind it or layer curtains for a great designer look. Very well made and sturdy. Purchased the gold which is a very nice satin color, not a cheap, shiny yellow looking gold like I was concerned it would be. The black has a bit of shine to it but still very well made and high-end looking. These are just wonderful!Addition to this review: Watch the prices! I placed 3 in my cart and came back later to buy them and the price went up over 8 dollars each. So I moved them to the "save for later" section and I searched for a better price and found them elsewhere for 7 dollars less than the price they were before they went up. Then went back in today to delete them out of my "save for later" section and they had gone back down to the original price again. Hum tricky business going on here, oh well they lost they sale and I saved over 21.00 going elsewhere. yay for me though:)

Great product and an easy fix for my issue. I had tried to use a tension curtain rod behind my curtains but the tension rod just fell down and wasn't sturdy enough.****It was very very hard to this item on Amazon- I repeatedly searched for things such as "add a rod curtain rod" on Amazon and this did not come up. I was stumped as to why Amazon would not sell this style of rod since they are sold elsewhere and sold out everywhere I looked. I was searching elsewhere off the Amazon site and found a link that brought me to this on Amazon.

Like it does the job however it doesn’t extend to 72” like it says it should for the one I ordered. I get to about 48”.

Was having trouble finding room darkening curtains for my son's nursery that sufficiently darkened the room but were also cute. I ended up finding an awesome darkening thermal liner, and purchased this universal add-a-rod in an attempt to hang the liner behind his existing nursery curtains. This was exactly what I needed. It was super easy to install - I had everything up in minutes. The rod did seem a little bit flimsy - but since I'm not expecting anyone to hang off the curtains, I think they'll be just fine for what I need (esp. considering the price)!

Just so useful! I used to have these, was coming back to buy new ones for my new home. I used a tension rod for sheers and these for blackout curtains behind my regular curtains, they were great! They could sit much more snug to the wall than any double rod solution, so they're ideal for blackouts

I loved the concept but I returned as the further I expanded the rods the harder it was for them to carry the west of my drapes.

Arrived super fast, packaged well (although the things shipped together came in a unnecessarily huge box), and in perfect condition. It's not particularly made for my rod brackets but I knew it. I needed to add on to what I already had. It works beautifully! It seems it can expand greatly but I'm only needing about 34" length. I read other reviews prior to purchasing this. Based on the extenders and my experience I would strongly suggest adding at least one holding bracket in the middle if you are needing to use it for a broader length. But in reality, any long rod usually requires the help of at least one additional holding bracket.

Not bad for price and quality is good too. Easy to install, but make sure the existing rods have room, in my case I didn't have much room and it was right at top, so hard to move curtains. However we weren't moving curtains everyday, so fine for us, did what we wanted it for.

This worked perfectly for what I needed. I had to add a valance to an existing curtain rod and this worked amazing!
