I'm not sure what's going on with the negative ratings because I've been using this tension rod for almost 3 years now and not only has it stayed up but I almost forgot that it was a tension rod!I needed this tension rod to hold up some blackout curtains for my sliding glass door-so you know that those curtains had to be heavy! I bought these back in September 2018, hung up these curtains right here ---> MIUCO Room Darkening Grommet Blackout Window Curtains Panels for Bedroom Set of 2 52x84 Inch and despite the fact that I've had to open those curtains every day, not one time has this tension rod fallen.So I highly suggest that if you're being influenced by the negative reviews, take some time and read what they have to say and then ask yourself whether or not they're being reasonable because I've noticed that some of them will complain that it doesn't stay up only to find out that they been using the tension rod for something else that it clearly wasn't made for. Others will hang up a curtain rod inside of a window pane that was painted with sheer paint as opposed to flat paint (which would definitely lead to the tension rod slipping) and then get mad because it slipped! So you kind of have to get a feel for the common sense of each person who's reviewing these products. As for myself, again, I've had these for 2+ years, they've been holding up heavy blackout curtains and not once have I had a problem with it. I would definitely buy it again if I needed another one.  Read Less
