coupon). I thought it would be a breeze since I've installed quite a few shower rods in my time. I mean, who reads the directions for a shower rod?!? There are all of four pieces to the thing: 2 expanding rods and two ends. Of course, there's usually only one piece.So as I'm trying to expand one of the rods to hold the ends against the tile, I can't get both of the ends to stay put as I'm expanding the rod. As I'm turning the rod to expand it, one of the ends would spin out of place. After I repositioned that one, the other one spun out of place. In order to reposition the end, I needed to shorten the rod slightly to take some pressure off of it. When I did that, the other end fell clean of the wall. And back and forth went the dance for about 20 minutes. But, after finessing the thing a bit, I finished. As I'm cleaning up, I look at the directions.
One of the sheets included says, "ATTENTION: Prior to installing your shower curtain rod & towel rack system, place a blanket or towel(s) on each end of your bathtub to protect the tub should you drop one of the DUO end caps while installing." And in the fine print at the bottom, "Polder (the manufacturer) is not responsible for any damage to bathtubs and/or bathroom
accessories due to individual person assembly mishaps, such as dropping an end cap(s). Polder clearly instructs a 2-person assembly for this product". To that I say "Thanks a lot! What do you do if you live by yourself? (Like yours truly)." That is such a shot to the handyman's ego: having to ask for help installing a SHOWER ROD! Fortunately, the ends never struck the tub when they fell of the wall, and it went in without too much frustration. All in all, I think it looks pretty good and adds some much needed hanging room to my Pink Bathroom.
