apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I like it. It is a nice change from the metal bar....a natural touch. It's a little pricey, though not outrageously so, and I would try it. Because of the wood texture, I can see a not so smooth movement of the rings, though.

Seems like a bamboo veneer is a bad idea in a damp place like a bathroom, especially with that much friction on it. I can see it splitting and peeling within a year, if not sooner.

The metal on metal sound of the curtain being pulled along the rod is like nails on a chalkboard for me. And I don't like the look of the plastic rods. I think you've rescued me!

Such a nice change. Really beautiful. I wish I had a light filled bathroom. I may put it in my windowless ones someday!

want. my shower rod is terrible, and falls down at very inconvienent times.

I really like that! I do wonder about durability.

Me likey! Nice balanced mix of wood, metal, water, earth (tile) elements.

sounds gross. there's a reason some things should be metal--they get wet.

Tension Rods always seem to be problematic - If you need a rod there, why not just bolt one in at the height required?

I've recently been replacing beat up, older stuff with bamboo products, so this post really made me smile.

Our kitchen is kind of stretched out with counter space, and so we have just replaced two vertical paper towel holders with bamboo ones that we got from BB&B, and an old beat-up cutting board with a bamboo, fish-shaped one from Marshalls.

Love all things wood & bamboo. This veneered shower rod is a stroke of genius.

Thanks for the heads up!
