Over time does the finish become worn/discolored from pushing curtain across on the rod? Thx.

Don't know, only had it for a week. Its construction is superior to anything I've seen to date.

It has held up well for us after 10 months. the shower curtain holders rusted all over it but the bar still looks fine.

I haven't seen any discoloration....but this bathroom is not used frequently, so probably not a true indicator. Seems to be good quality however.

I've had this rod for over six months and this has not happened. I was concerned about this too. I have used both metal and plastic shower curtain rings on this rod. Hope this helps!

I use it as the outside curtain for my shower and have an added liner for the inside, but so far no mildew on mine! My only problem is the rings are already rusted after 6 months

Thought the same thing but took a chance. It is not streaky. It has a typical oil rubbed bronze finish.

The rod is stationary. It never moves again once it it up there, but it does add more room in your shower because it keeps the curtain pushed away.

Have used mine for two months and see no problem. Sometimes salt water or areas near salt water can effect metal finishes.

I've had the closet for about a year and a half, no problems at all. The rods look good as new. I try to use plastic, or the non-slip hangers, but dry-cleaners hangers sneak in once in a while. Still no problem.

The rod is a "tension style" rod (very similar to a shower curtain tension rod), nothing permanently attaches to the wall surfaces; daily removal possible.

I used a liner with mine, it just keeps the curtain in better shape. I'd recommend a mildew resistant inner liner

I don't know if it's been treated. It's not advertised as having been. The material feels heavy enough to use without a liner but I am using one. Sorry that I can't be of more help!Okay, I am now using it without a liner. I would say no, there is definitely no need for one. Am very pleased with the curtain!

I have mine in the shower and it has permanently stained the floor of my shower, I have been unable to scrub out the stain where it sits. But it has not scratched it, even when it occasionally shifts.

Ours also suffered erosion of the finish after just a couple of years. I'm pretty sure it went through the dishwasher a few times, but not any more. No way to know if that was the cause. We are considering replacing it and I would not DW it again.

This shower rod is showing signs of rust for me after 5 months. Its not stainless steel, I have other stainless steel things in my shower that has lasted 5+ years and this one didn't last at all.

if you mean is it easy to remove/replace curtain or liner, yes it is. If you mean to remove them from the rod, I've never removed them, but they should come off as easy as they went on, so probably yes.

Mine gets heavy use (a couple of loads of laundry every 2-3 days) and it has not fallen apart for me. I have had it for about 3-4 months as well and it has not lost shape or deteriorated in any way. I am careful, however, when I collapse it to push in all of the corners equally until the rods move smoothly. I don't try to force it.

Not advisable...if you look carefully at the area where the rod slide out of the outer rod, it can get rusty. All 3 of the 1 that I own have some rust there which means it can go rusty.

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

Mine hasn't and I've had it for a few months. It's plastic so it's not likely to fade for a while.
