This was fairly easy to install but I had to get my husband to help me. Normally I can understand the instructions and do it myself, but I had a bit of a hard time with these. I was able to extend the rod and hang the brackets, everything made sense to me except for the motor mount, which turned out to be easy but I think more photos might have helped.
The track works great, the one downside is that the top of the hooks are kind of weak, and when my dog walks through the curtains and steps on them, they bend and come loose. That's probably not a big deal for most people but we have a bay window and that's where her dog bed happens to be. Everything relies on the innermost hook on each track, and if that comes loose it will pull the curtains closed, but it won't push them open again.
Did I need curtains that I can operate with a remote? No. Does it feel really cool to be able to use a remote to open and close my curtains? Yes. And I can program them which is even better. It's great for days when we want to sleep in but the plants need light, and awesome for vacation to keep things looking normal.
