This rod is perfect!  I needed a tension rod for a 73 in opening (doorway). This rod is nice and tight!  I am having lots of company and needed to give this room privacy as a sleep area. This rod blends with the doorway trim, unoticeably. I bought some lightweight drapes for it. I looked at room dividers and didn't go that route as I didn't know what I would do with them when my company leaves. This is an awesome alternative!
