The NoNo Bracket CompanyXL - Inside Mounted Faux Wood Blinds Curtain Rod Attachment (Nickel)

Although the concept is good, the brackets do not stay in place and slip off easily. This means you have to hold onto the bracket as you try to open the curtains. Not a great option overall for permanent window coverings.

These are so much better than drilling holes in the wall. I did make some slight adjustments. Since the blinds were 2” wide I took the plastic washer out and replaced it with 2 each 3/8 beveled washers, a longer screw and a nut. Once I did this my curtain rod fit perfectly.

I detest drilling all those holes in the wall to hang curtains when moving into a new home, so I decided to give these a try. I have very ordinary wood blinds (pictured) with a standard 2 inch headrail. These brackets seem to be made for something just a hair smaller than that. When I loosened the screw to allow the bottom “lip” to open enough to go over the headrail, the whole bottom part went “floppy” and would not stay flush with the bottom of the headrail. So it doesn’t grip, it just hangs open. Maybe it’s correctable with a few more rubber washers, but I don’t pay for new, innovative products only to have to do my own innovating. I placed both of them tentatively, just to see if maybe it would suffice once everything was up, but because it has to sit so far inside the window area (because of the mechanics of the blinds), I was left with either 6 inches of window uncovered on either side, or an obvious lump in my curtain where the rod sits inside the bracker. So even if it fit my headrail, the look would still have been unappealing. I’m using rod pocket curtains - so I guess it’s safe to say these aren’t suitable for any curtains other than grommet-top ones. Returning it.

these were perfect for my needs- reading all the reviews & info prior to buying helped me make sure they would work for where I needed and they do, work perfectly- have 2 sets of the inside blinds brackets in use now, and another set of the outside blinds (for vertical blinds over sliding glass doors). One thing to note if you are using inside brackets for black out curtains- if you put the brackets on ends of blinds rod, you can only close the curtains to that point -which may be an inch from edge of wall. I decided not to worry about it, but if true complete blackout important to you, something to consider. You may be able to solve by putting 2 spaced brackets in the middle of rod but then would need a third panel in between the brackets so you wouldn’t have curtains completely opened during day if you can visualize that. And rod would need to be sturdy enough that it doesn’t droop at ends with curtains. So basically if you put brackets at each end of rod, the curtains can only hang as wide as the space between the brackets & because the inside blinds are already inside the edges of window frame, the curtains are going to be slightly further inside of that. Only an issue if complete coverage/blackout important.

These are too heavy for the purpose intended. The part that holds the curtain rod is so thick and heavy that a heavy rod combined with the weight of the bracket is not the best fit. One must take care when opening the curtains not to dislodge it. I could see making them such heavy metal if they were being affixed to metal but they aren't. For the most part, they are being affixed to a plastic header which is fairly flimsy indeed. But, overall, they are are great for not having to drill into the wall, especially in tight places or into thin walls. Lastly, I would like some that are half as heavy and perhaps made of sturdy plastic which would ensure they don't weight down the plastic header and...perhaps lower the cost.
