Accessories
Accessories are small parts with a large job. Finials, rings, brackets, connectors, holdbacks and bay components decide whether a pole or track works properly, and whether it reads as one considered system.
Compatibility is the thing to get right. Rings and gliders have to match the profile they run on, brackets have to match the diameter, and corner parts belong to the system they were designed for.
Finials change the character of a pole more than anything else at this level, from a plain end cap to a decorative turned design.
