You can DIY
The greatest part about starting the project to install this pair of curtain rods was that they were specific for blackout curtains. As usual, I went to YouTube to watch a couple of "How to videos", to get my own pitch for installation. It's all part of the preparation process for getting it right with as much information as possible. I'm not good with less than perfect. And if you have a good track record with following directions, YouTube is a great way to start any project. Especially after a job is done,you step back and see you have done very acceptable work. Knowing I am my own best critic, all information was received and I was ready to proceed. The best approach was to make sure the window frame was level and plumb. Horizontal and vertical were level to work from. Then I measured down from the interior ceiling. Measurements were doable. I decided to measure down from the ceiling, but had to figure the most efficient place to mark center for both sides of curtain rod. Knowing the window frame was level going vertical, I measured 2 and one half inches right of the frame, put one pencil dot. Did the same for the left side. Now you have two dots,reference points for the center of each curtain rod end. If you have a straight edge, metal yard stick, or definite straight edge, put your level right up against your straight edge and measure down from the ceiling centering the height for the top of your curtain according to centering curtain over window frame. The dot you put on both sides of the window frame earlier need to be included with the agreed measurement from the top of each side of the ceiling and making sure you are including the dot you penciled in, and making sure your level is plumb, straight up and down, including the dot and agreed measurement from ceiling. When you know you have it set up right, put one dot for the agreed height and exactly 1 and one half inches below that dot, put another dot. You should be looking at 3 dots ONLY on one side. You can erase the lowest dot. The 2 remaining dots are exactly where your curtain rod end will be set in the wall. To test out seeing if you got it right place the curtain rod end over the 2 remaining dots. Did it line up? If not you need to read again. If the end did line up, you can use the same directions for the other side. There is video which is included with this product but I suggest going to YouTube and get other opinions for installation. When I put my curtains on the shape of the rod ends did not hold the curtains in place to my satisfaction. So I had a 3" piece of 3/8" plastic tubing. Cut that in half then up the center on both pieces. Then put a piece on each end of the rod to keep the curtain firmly in place. Put each piece of plastic on the inside of the curtain and the outside of the rod so you can't see it. 😉

I recently purchased these blackout blinds (https://amzn.to/3PIG5Fr) and chose this curtain rod because it allows the curtains to wrap around the ends. At first I was a little skeptical because the rod is very lightweight, but it's supporting the curtains no problem and looks fantastic. Installation was very easy (I did it myself in about 20 mins) and had I known it was this simple, I'd have done this project ages ago. Definitely recommend this curtain rod if you're looking for a clean, modern look, but I think it could work well with many different interior design aesthetics.
Note: Make sure that you hang the rod high enough so that the center hook can be drilled in its two holes ABOVE the top of your window. Mine barely made it and if I could do the process over, I'd probably go for an inch higher. Still though, the hook is secure and the rod is plenty sturdy.

Right out of the box this rod appears very slender and perhaps not very strong. I did some double checking to see how much weight it could bear and the weight of my curtain. It was not difficult to hang and comes with all the needed hardware. The curtain has been hanging for several days and hasn't fallen yet, so I think it's going to work just fine. I really like the fact that the curtain can wrap around the edges to block out additional light. I did not use the center support because I am hanging one curtain across the entire rod. It feels very sturdy even opening and closing the curtains each day. If this is the type of rod you are looking for, give it a try.
