I'm don't really get why people are having eyelets catch on the bit where the two halves meet - this should be hidden under the central bracket as it's designed to be or it looks awful - not to mention downright lazy fitting. All you have to do is put the joint in the centre, chop off the excess with a bog standard hacksaw each end and shove the finials back on each end. Takes 5 minutes. We have entending ones all round our house as they don't sell single poles big enough and they all look solid as the joint is hidden under the bracket in the centre.

Because sometimes the pieces of pole are more than half the total length and therefore it's impossible to get the join in the middle. I found the telescopic ones to be rubbish- had them up for about a month before I chucked them all in the bin. I found it so much better buying an over-sized pole and trimming it down with hacksaw (think I actually used an angle grinder- possibly overkill)
