Electric Remote Controlled Drapery System W/16' Track CL-920A by Curtain Call (Center Open with Wall Brackets)

It was hard to find any useful reviews of these curtain rods, but I took a chance and bought one anyway after much research. I got one 16' long, center opening, with motor. It was relatively easy to install, but took me about 4 hours and I needed help lifting it into place after every thing was put together and checked. I have only had it a little over a week and it works great. Now some of my friends are buying them for their houses.Installation would have been easier and faster if my stud finder had been working. Stanley makes a studfinder and laser level combination tool that Lowes sells for about $40. If I had one, it probably would have saved me a few hours that I wasted trying to find studs and leveling the brackets.Assembly was easy, hooking up the motor was a 30 second operation and hooking it up to the brackets took about 15 - 20 minutes.When I ordered it from Amazon, I called the vender (the number was on the Amazon page). The guy that answered the phone took my measurements and made sure I got the size I needed. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. If you want to know more about these rods, just call them and they will answer all your questions,The way this is built, it should last for years. If the motor goes out, it can be replaced in a few minutes. We had an outlet installed in the wall at the level of the rod before we ordered it. This was not necessary. The cord is long enough to reach an outlet on the wall at normal level without an extension cord.I built a cornice box out of stained 16' long1X6" lumber. The brackets are strong enough to hold it too.You can buy 2 of these for the price of one of the more expensive models. This is a great value.
