I thought about buying one for home, but (like most folks) we have tile in the bathroom.

How did you all install it? Were you nervous about cracking the tiles?

Me also.

I see I'm in the minority but I hate them. I find it a bit disorienting to the edge of the tub. I mostly find in them mostly in Hampton Inns that are pretending they have normal sized bathtubs. A decent sized tub should not have the shower curtain hit normal sized adults.

I like them the new curved shower rods. I don't like to fight with a shower curtain in a tub area so small that the curtain is constantly touching me or blowing up against my body.

I like 'em too!:)

You can get tile drilling bits for under $10, use those to get through the tiles, then a regular bit to sink a hole for the ancors to hold the screws.

Wow...a three page thread on a Sunday. I guess the fact I'm in the minority proves the hotels did good market research before rolling these curved shower rods out.

A wonderful idea. The person how invented the nice-but-simple curved shower rod should be nominated for a Nobel Prize.

Love 'em, for the aforesaid reasons (mainly so the skanky curtain is not sticking to me as I shower).

It would appear that you are in the distinct minority.

Add another one to the "luv em but prefer glass"

it's the exhibitionist in me, I'm sure...

I love 'em too.

I think you can buy them though Hampton Inn as well.
