I just have a side light curtain hanging on it. It seems to be a very sturdy rod though. I am pleased with it

John R. Carney, InventorDo not worry about the weight of your drapes. This rod will hold up.

No tension, when my 4 year old pulls on it, the whole roll comes off. 11 inches between the 2 hooks, and 3 1/4 inches from the plate to the rod.

In testing, I had more than 30# evenly distributed on the rod. The wall was painted drywall. The rod was installed according to instructions. So, if the "wet laundry" in total does not weigh more than 30# and it can be space evenly it should hold up without any problem.John R.

Sorry, I did not put any real strain on it other than as a strap for hanging a 60# kayak off the wall. Suggest you contact the manufacturer to get load limit/working load data. This stuff is strong, but since I don't have a clue what you are going to stress it to.....

I'm not sure but I have about 30lb in it now but without the wheels and I think it makes a big difference. I mean that person below must have over loaded it for it to break. Seriously!! these are not plastic rods it's some kind of metal. I call it BS.

Don't give up. Remember, wear some gloves and put a sticker or tape near the part that goes in so you know that you are twisting. Rather than twisting and pushing in. You have to build a lot of tension but it's all worth it because this was the only rod that didn't fall down on me.

I have no idea the weight limit. I like the rod and I hang plenty of clothes on it so it'e sturdy enough.

It is truly a tension rod yes. You are able to screw a pice to tighten it. We just had all marble put in and I didn't want screw anything in. Make sure the little pads are on the ends so wall is protected. It works great sturdy

There's just about an inch from the back of the hook part to the front of the hanger part - so yes, plenty of room to hold a rod. Not sure it's strong enough to deal with a tension rod though.

It is basically a clothing rod on a metal shelf unit that has a heavy cloth cover with magnets in the doers to keep the doors shut. I do not know exactly how much weight it holds, but we filled it with my Mom's clothing, minus her winter coat. We have it totally full and it is just fine.

No, it is not a tension rod. It does require drilling, so you will not want to purchase this particular rod.

I had a little problem pulling one end to extend, but I did it after a few tries! Lightweight rod.. I'd buy it again

it's a tension rod - you have to twist it to just about the right length, then compress to fit it into the space.

It is a twist tension, but it works for me. I have drapes hanging on this rod and it is very snug and has not slipped at all.

It's a tension rod system. I don't actually own it, but I bought for my daughter-in-law and that's what she tells me.

The unit itself is not heavy and probably won't pull down a tension placed shower rod. However when you place clothes on the unit then the weight of the clothes will probably pull the tension rod down.
