Would you spend $1300 for a shower curtain rod?

16 years ago

I'm on a quest for an antique pewter shower curtain rod and rings and look what I stumbled upon. I thought it was perfect until I saw the price! Are you kidding me!?!?!?

Here is a link that might be useful: At least you get the set!

curved shower curtain rod for small shower?
Q
Comments (3)
I bought an 'adjustable' curved shower rod, online. It's composed of 2 curved pieces, one slides inside the other. It's terrible - the diameters of the 2 pipes/rods are very different. There is enough room for the rod to move, and the rings don't slide over the junction. I'm guessing you can buy a solid piece, and cut it to fit. I doubt 43" will be a problem. Look for some curved shower rods online, and then research the manufacturers. Most will have details about installation, more than retailers' sites. Pick up the phone and call the manufacturer if you still have probs.

I put one in my kids shower tub combo. I hate shower curtains touching me too. When you install it consider what is next to the tub like the toilet try to have the curtain a bit more towards the tub and not on top of the toilet so much. We are using that bathroom now cause of a remodel and we could have moved the rod over just one more inch cause when I went to sit on the toilet the other day the shower curtain came with.. Yikes! well I just went and measured and I think were like 5" away but when you hang a curtain they poof and well you know the rest.

flseadog - I'm fine with the location as it is. When I came home and learned they had moved it in a bit, I was ready to be upset, but it is just fine. Since the master bath is under construction right now, four of us are showering in there daily, and we all are happy with the elbow room. Thanks for the compliment. An outer curtain made the space seem smaller, and it's minimal already. I'm not thrilled with the fancy hooks though...they fly off the rod when you take the curtain down - I've been hit a couple of times. My husband threw his towel over the hooks yesterday, and when my daughter pulled it off to shower, a hook flew in the toilet. She was not pleased. Oh the joys of togetherness! cassie 225, I don't think you would lose much width in 10-12" of height. It doesn't curve in to the tub until the very lower part. But that's why we did the temporary rod experiment first -- I didn't want to drill holes in the tile until we were sure where we wanted it. Well worth the $10.

How high would you hang your shower curtain?
Q
Comments (3)
Does it need to hide the shower head for looks purposes only, or because water could actually come out over the top of the curtain if it is not higher than the shower head? I was thinking the water would come straight down until it hits the head of the tallest person (74" high) and wouldn't spray sideways until it hits the top of a head. Do you think seeing the about 9" of the tub would look bad? My curtain will be white waffle weave, standard size of 72" long, and the tub is also white.

For $318.00!!!!

If I bought a toilet paper holder for $318.00, it had better come with a spa attendent who wears rubber gloves and doesn't mind doing a little clean-up for me!

LMAO! Here's another one from the same site:

A coat hook for $60.00! I can go to Home Depot and buy one of these for about $1.00, scratch it up with some sandpaper, drag in in the dirt, and I get the same look and save $59.00.

Are people really this stupid?

Hmmm...

There appears to be some sort of technical difficulty with that Website, as each price has the decimal point two spaces to the right of where it should be.

Maybe we should contact the Webmaster and alert him/her of this problem!

I just bought 114 bin pulls and 107 door pulls. I wonder what DH would have said if they had cost $45.00 a piece ????????

Well, I wouldn't, but companies like that do sell to folks who have more money than brains! There are people who like to brag about how much they spent LOL :)

I thought maybe it had been owned by Napolean or something for that price. It looks, well, somewhat ordinary. Does it do the laundry or something?

"I just bought 114 bin pulls and 107 door pulls. I wonder what DH would have said if they had cost $45.00 a piece ????????"

Mine would have said "You just blew $9,945.00 on door pulls. Hope you enjoy looking at them while you're sitting in the hole in the master bath floor that would have been your steam shower and spa tub."
