The telescopic rod can be unlocked with a simple twist and adjusted to the desired length of 110-250 cm. By screwing the end cap, the product can be securely clamped between any two surfaces (made of wood, glass, plastic, plaster or tiles). The curtain pole is ready for immediate use and can be loaded with up to 35 kg. This makes it suitable not only as a curtain rail, but also as a shower rail, clothes rail or clamping rail for cat nets. Thanks to the rust-free carbon steel , the product is suitable for damp rooms and can be used both indoors and outdoors. Cleaning is uncomplicated: A damp wipe is all that is required.

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.6 stars. One criticism was that the (white) bar had differences in color. On the other hand, the easy handling and installation, the robust workmanship and the reliable hold are positively emphasized. In our practical test, we could not detect any color differences (with the black bar).
Prices of over € 90 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €15 .
