What is included with the curtain pole?

Troubleshooting
Pole appears to sag in the middle.
Ensure adequate brackets are used, especially for longer poles or heavier curtains. Check that the pole is securely seated in all brackets and that brackets are firmly attached to the wall.
Curtain rings do not slide smoothly.
Verify that the pole's surface is smooth and free from any burrs. Ensure the curtain rings are compatible with the 28mm diameter and have no defects.
The join on longer poles is visible.
Try adjusting the position of the joiner further into the curtain's pleats or consider using fuller curtains to help conceal the connection point.
Brackets feel loose after installation.
Re-tighten the screws securing the brackets to the wall. If the wall material is soft, consider using larger or different types of wall anchors for a more secure fit.
