Inside Mount Hidden Socket Brass Plated Brackets for 3/8" Rods - One Pair

This went up incredibly easy, and looks GREAT!

Real brass! No corrosion! As depicted and defined and from Maine!!! Those clever Mainiacs!!

You really do get what you pay for with these. Unfortunately, there aren't too many choices for inside-mount cafe curtain rod brackets on the market. I needed ten sets, so I decided to save money by going with these rather than getting expensive full rod sets from a high end specialty store.As you can see in my photos, the brackets look great for the price. However, the screws are the most garbagey screws I have ever encountered! The heads broke off while I was screwing them into the woodwork with a regular screw driver! I drilled appropriately sized pilot holes too, so this was not user error.When the first screw broke off in the woodwork, I thought it was just some weird fluke, which is why I tried the second screw. When that one broke too, I knew the issue was the screws themselves. Fortunately, I had some other appropriately sized screws, so I was able to install the brackets.The brackets look great and work well, but I can't give a four or five star review to a product that is made up of six tiny pieces, and two of them broke immediately. If you were thinking about buying these, I wouldn't discourage you, but be sure to get your own screws!

I ordered three different varieties of bases, on all three pairs the rod barrels easily screw off and back on, important for ease of removing the rod to clean tilt wash windows.
