Measuring & Installation
A good rule of thumb is to count the number of pleats, add 1 ring for each pleat, add 2 additional rings for the ends of each panel; for flat panels using a ring every 5-7 inches is usually sufficient… for more specific information you will need to contact your drapery manufacturer.
Sorry, our customers are located all over the USA, so we don’t offer measure/installation service.
Billing, Refunds & Returns
For online and phone purchases, we accept VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.
If you decide to exchange or return an order or parts, for reasons other than our 100% Quality Guarantee, they must still be sealed in their original bag, in new condition & you will be responsible for the return shipping cost. We do not accept returns for the rod/slide tape, since they are custom cut to your dimensions, but you can receive a refund for all other parts. Color Samples and Slide Tape are Non-Refundable / Non-Returnable. All returns must be made within 30 days of the date of purchase.
You can cancel your custom rod order within the first 24 hours without incurring any charges. Once production has begun on your custom drapery rod order, cancellations will be treated as returns.

Product Information
There is no limit to overall drapery rod width; however, we do use rod splices and center brackets as needed for strength, support and to limit the size of individual rod segments for shipping purposes.
5/8 inch rods require a splice and center bracket every 60 inches.
1 inch rods require a spice and center bracket every 72 inches.
Projection means the distance from the wall to the center of the rod, bracket or return. Our standard projection is 3 inches to center and is the best choice in most situations.
If you have blinds or large moldings, it is critical that you measure how far they protrude from the wall. Our standard brackets and returns may not be long enough, that is why we also offer extended brackets and returns, which project 5 ½ inches to center.
Our standard brackets project 3 inches to center (Applies to both 5/8 inch & 1 inch diameter rods)
Our extended brackets project 5 1/2 inches to center (Applies to both 5/8 inch & 1 inch diameter rods)
All of our rods are hand painted and available in 4 color finishes.
(Wrought Iron, Black Satin, Gold Metallic & Silver Metallic)
Many factors can be involved in determining the correct length of a drapery rod, however here are some of our recommendations. The term stack back refers to the width of a drapery panel when in the open position. Typically the panels should not block your view out of the window, when in the stack back/open position.
For instance, a 31 inch wide window may require 3 to 6 inches past the window molding on each side to avoid blocking the view. A 96 inch wide window may require 8 to 12 inches past the window molding on each side to avoid blocking the view. It is all determined by the window width and how much additional space is needed to avoid blocking the view/window.

What People Are Saying
4.7/5 ratings from 280+ customer reviews.
I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. I ordered the French return rod set in matte black, and it completely elevated the look of my living room. The quality is far better than anything I found in local stores, heavy, sturdy, and clearly made to last. Shipping was fast, and the packaging was secure. Highly recommend!

The rods arrived exactly as described, and the craftsmanship is absolutely top-notch. You can tell these aren’t mass-produced. I needed a custom length for a tricky bay window, and their team got everything just right. Installation was straightforward with the hardware included. It’s rare to find companies like this anymore, I'm genuinely impressed.

I had a few questions before ordering and called the number on the site, someone actually picked up and walked me through the best option for my space! The rod I ordered fits perfectly and looks stunning above my linen drapes. It’s got that timeless, old-world feel. Definitely worth the investment.

These curtain rods are the real deal. I’ve bought decorative rods in the past that looked good but started bending or sagging over time. Not these. The iron is thick and durable, and the design is minimal but stylish. I love that they offer a lifetime warranty, it shows how much confidence they have in their work. Will definitely be back for more!
