Rusted within a month,

We purchased this product as one of the final touches to a master bath remodel. Within a month it began rusting but we left it be, thinking it to cumbersome of a task to uninstall and return. Serves us right, now 6 months later it is completely rusted. I'm guessing we no longer have the receipt and even if we did we're likely out of the warranty phase.
All of the literature with the rod stressed to NOT RETURN THE ITEM TO THE STORE and to CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE FIRST if you encounter ANY problems with the product, and they'll take care of you. I contacted Zenith customer service ... all they did was tell me to take it back to the store. Avoid this product at all costs.

better than a straight rod,

Out of the box this rod was quite easy to install, although you will need to look at the wall anchors to see what size drill bit to use. I liked the fact that it is adjustable because I don't have to be perfect. The downside to this is the adjusting flanges overlap so you get a little curtain catch. My advice is to think which way you open your curtain before putting the bar up for least resistance. I'm a man with rather broad shoulders and ever since I installed this shower bar, I no longer hit my shoulders or elbows on the curtain. This is so much better and cheaper than remodeling the entire bathroom.

Not easy to install,

The end result was okay, but it took two of us, one of whom is an experienced finish carpenter, to put it up. It took a surprisingly long time to put up.
This comes with drywall anchors, but the instructions don't tell you what size drill bit to use for them. In any case, the ones provided were cheap and cheesy - we used our own. The teensy eensy Allen wrenches were horrible to use. You're working up against the wall, so you can only get a half turn in at most. The wrenches are so small you can't get a decent grip. And that was really a problem because one of the screws (or the sleeve it went into) had a threading defect. It was fine for the first half of the tightening, then it became a Charles Atlas challenge to finish the tightening.
