When mounting ceiling brackets/fittings ensure a distance from the wall to allow opening/closing your curtain without obstacles like a protruding window sill, radiator or window handle getting in the way.

Reviews

Flimsy attachment - appalling designAnonymous reviewerFlimsy locking mechanism made from cheap plastic breaks the the whole rail is totally unusable- complete waste of time and money!!!!1
Easy to installAnonymous reviewerThey are very easy to install, just make sure you measure the distance from the wall exactly right - then they will line up perfectly! My only gripe - they are noisy.5
Love this lookAnonymous reviewerHave them in my bedroom and living room giving both a beautiful finish. Gives hotel vibes and everyone has commented on them 5
Better than expectedAnonymous reviewerI'd give these (the whole system) 4.5. Short version - went together well, looks decent, only real negative the joining bits don't really work that well. We bought these to set up a double track. 4.8M on one wall and 2.2M on another wall (meeting in the corner). Ceiling mounted for floor to ceiling nets and curtains. I put the ceiling mounts together (2 per length on track) and then had a play to work out the best way to go about the job and how it all fits together. Lots of measuring and double checking and giving the wife options I put them up checking how well they worked as I went. Because the (any) ceiling isn't bang flat some of the joins are maybe 1mm out so the gliders sometimes stick a little going in one direction. The plastic parts that bridge the joints don't really help negate this. I've packed the 2 bad joints with small plastic window shims and it's sorted. 8 hours of ironning, hemming and fitting RIKTIG hooks to 17 curtains/nets and we're sorted and HAPPY.5
FantasticAnonymous reviewerIt was a bit tricky to join two together, however it is fantastic, I had to play the instructions in YouTube several times5
No choice as it’s the only option Anonymous reviewerAs the double track is now not available we’re stuck with this (probably because it’s more profitable for them). However, it’s a slim and functional system that is rigid and reasonably versatile. 5
As expected Anonymous reviewerGood quality and value, 4
Second time parts missingAnonymous reviewerHave had two deliveries each time parts missing, and it’s so hard to even do anything on line to say these parts are missing. So now I have two useless items!1
Noisy and doesn’t join wellAnonymous reviewerLooks good and would work for smaller windows on one track width but if you run several together the runners don’t move across smoothly. Also it’s noisy. Assembly and install otherwise ok, and it looks good - but won’t be keeping these.2
Does the Job ... WellAnonymous reviewerExcellent value, easy to fit.5
A good price for a well designed/ made productAnonymous reviewerA good price for a well-designed/ made product, with exceptions!! The joints need to be made more positive. There is too much flex at this point allowing the rails to move out of alignment, Even on the flattest/truest of surfaces. Great when there are no curtains on the track, but with curtains it starts to flex and jam. we have purchased several pairs of lightweight blackout curtains from Ikea, so it’s not as if they are heavyweights. to help cure the problem I have aligned the track as accurately as I can then bonded a thin piece (2mm) of aluminium Alloy flat bar to the outer face of the rear side of the rail, this has been a success. downside of this is if it has to be removed, I can't see me having to do this for a long time, so, good so far. I was thinking of making a clip, made out of spring steel to wrap around the track without interfering with the workings, but instead, I chose the easier method. Come on Ikea designers, you can do it!! Kind Regards, Jim H. 5
Good strong trackAnonymous reviewerEasy to fit. We used it on the ceiling and it looks good. Curved part finishes the rail nicely5
Confusing to setupAnonymous reviewerAll the little bits are confusing to get right and setup properly. Does the job once installation is finished though3
Connectors and bracket fixingsAnonymous reviewerBe warned: IKEA supplies only two each of the connectors 146957 & 146956 with the curtain track. If you want to use more than two wall fixing brackets, to use corner tracks, and or to connect two or more lengths of track, be aware that you will probably need to order extra connectors 146957 and 146956 to complete your project. This is simple enough to do on the web site: simply calculate how many you will need and fill in the on-line order form; the required parts will be delivered free of charge. However it would have been great if these parts had been available in-store, I would have been happy to pay for them as now my project is held up awaiting delivery.3
Ceiling fixing does not work with M5 screwAnonymous reviewerFor ceiling fixing, due to the width of the topside is only 8mm, it won't work with a M5 or bigger screw - the head of the screw is usually 1cm and is too big. So don't use M5 or bigger ceiling fixing.3
it was what I needed,Anonymous reviewerit was what I needed, and it works well5
Perfect for a wide curtainAnonymous reviewerPerfect for a wide curtain area5

Designer thoughts

Designer thoughts

"When mounting curtain rails myself, I’ve often thought about how it could be made simpler. So when I got the chance to create VIDGA curtain rail system, I knew what I wanted to do. The new system needed to look good, and be as easy to understand as to mount with just a few tools. And I am very pleased with the outcome! I’m sure you’ll like the end result, when all your curtains or panel curtains are in place."
