A little confusing but I’m in loveJaidaFirst time ever doing a track curtain and it was a little confusing to understand how everything works (be aware everything is sold separately) but once u do it once it’s super easy to do again. The quality is great and I love how you can cut them to get the perfect custom size.5

Big window? No problem.!LeslieI was able to connect several of these together to cover my slider. I feel like I have so much more privacy now.5
LOVE this curtain rack!AdrianaI needed a curtain system for a long hallway door because standard sized doors won't fit the closet opening. I chose the VIDGA system and it's perfect! Also, since my house is a cape, I installed the rails on a slanted ceiling, and they work just as well! I'm happy I made this purchase. AND the rails were beyond easy to install.5
Not badDashaNot bad considering the price. Wish it came together with the hooks to hang the curtain.5
ScrewsZachEvery other curtain bracket I've bought in my life came with screws. What are we doing here.1
Curtain Ceiling fixtureGloriaEasy to assemble and to install.
The only thing is it's very hard to get since it's a popular item it should be more available at any location5
Easiest and cheapest optionAshleyI installed a more expensive version of this from another manufacturer and it was SUCH a pain to instal. This is easy breezy! I've used this system in my shower curtain and in window drapery and love it. To make it look more "finished" I caulked the joint between the track and the ceiling - because the mounting hardware leaves a gap - and it's seamless!
Note that you need a saw to custom-fit it to your size, and need your own screws. Make sure you get "pan head" screws that are flat at the neck of the screw.5
You need better instructions. The instructions provided are absolutely awful.DemetriosPlease consider providing a metal connector piece to join two rails together. A metal option would be much more durable and would prevent the plastic connectors from breaking, especially during installation or when the rails are under tension.3
No screws, easy other than thatAndrewI understand why screws aren’t included, but I feel that wasn’t clearly communicated. There also could be clearer instructions on which screws to purchase for your particular mounting and living situation. I also needed to use a youtube video to figure out installation, but the one by “mimzy & company” was plenty informative.
Now that it is installed, it looks good and the curtains slide easily.4
Perfect Curtain Track System!EvanI absolutely love the VIDGA Single Track! It was super easy to install, and the quality is fantastic. The track glides smoothly, feels sturdy, and gives my curtains a clean, modern look. I also love that it’s flexible—you can customize the length and set it up exactly how you want. If you’re looking for a simple, reliable, and great-looking curtain track system, the VIDGA Single Track is definitely worth it! Im Florida Fam Five! I made a YouTube video on how to install this!5
Overall nice systemCheriThis was the first time installing this system and there were moments of frustration more so on the user end. Make sure to put the hooks on the panels with the slider first then slide those into the track system. Don’t miss one otherwise you have to slide the panel out of the track just to fix the mistake. Overall I would still recommend. Opening and closing the drapes is a breeze5
Ugh - worst instructions everCandaceIf the instructions were clear I would have gave a 5. Trying to figure out the instructions is like looking at a foreign language. I thought I was going to have to just trash these because I had no clue what the instructions was saying to do and I’m GREAT with assembling things.
Go on YouTube and find Florida Fam Five…..Ikea Vidga Track: The Affordable Solution to Fancy Curtains video. He’s literal a life saver.
Ikea video instructions suck!!
Make sure to read the description. You may need to purchase some parts separately. Luckily, I did get everything I needed when ordering the first time. However, I still had to go to the hardware store for screws which is insane. I feel like most of the parts are cheap — mostly plastic besides the track itself. I’m hoping they last but we shall see. It’s been about a month and so far so good.3
Sags from curtain weight so rails don't line upAnonymous reviewerConnectors are too weak. Connection sags from (light) curtain weight so rails don't line up when trying to draw curtains. Makes it extremely difficult & time-consuming to draw curtains.3
Everyone Who’s Struggling Read ThisKateOk IKEA definitely got this wrong - this system is by no means simple or easy to install if you do not have a logic based brain and an understanding of intermediate assembly processes. HOWEVER!! I am here to report that this system IS in fact INGENIOUS once you figure it out. You want to connect multiple rods together? Easy - use the long pointy thing needed to connect the wall bracket to join the joints (including corner pieces). You will need to secure both rods, the joint, and their ends to the wall or ceiling to ensure it stays together. You want to cut it? Do not use a hack saw as recommended, go get yourself a multi tool and cut that thing in 30 seconds. Even if it’s not a clean cut, it’ll work. I have put these in two rooms, including one with corner systems and they are AWESOME! You got this, go slow, think like a Swedish tinkerer and I promise it will work out. 5
Easy to installKathleenInstalled and in operation in less than 30 minutes. 5
Selling a product that isn’t completeTaylorFound out the ceiling bracket isn’t sold with the set, so went to find one and I can’t find any on their site. What’s the point of buying this product if you don’t sell the needed parts to use it1
Great ceiling curtain trackCitlalliGreat quality and durable.

The rails do not properly connect, don’t buy. AnastasiaExpensive, time consuming, poorly designed. I tried hanging from ceiling, and used a laser level to ensure straight lines. The attachment to ceiling was cheap but worked well and was novel. However the tracks are so cheaply made/shipped that they don't really line up with eachother and the little bit of difference cause the “sliders” to get stuck when moving to next track. The curtain slides don’t really work, the connection track piece is especially terrible, you have to force the curtain across so the flimsy curtain “hook” comes unhooked, and therefore the curtains take some cajoling to get across the breaks of track (especially if they’re on the ceiling). The paper instructions are terrible, luckily I had asked someone in the store for pointers beforehand but I wish he had warned me away. I wasted so many hours trying to install this - it should not be advertised as possible for ceiling use.1
Missing Parts?Anonymous reviewerWe set this up, but discovered that there are no carrier pieces for the curtain hooks. WE tried to work around it, but you can't order the track hooks themselves separately. Seems like a cool product but missing essential pieces.2
