Pro: The rod is very high quality and looks nice. I imagine that it will also do the job of adding more space. At this time, I can only imagine. Here's the Con: I struggled, and I do mean struggled with it for several hours to put it up. The video shows one woman putting it up very quickly. Not so easy and still not done. The rod is hard to tighten. It was still not tight enough to stay in place. I tried putting it on the next tightest notch. It was just a fraction from going in the notch, even pulling as hard as I could. Then I tried the tightening wheel, it did not go far enough. It is also difficult to work on tension and hold in it's proper placement. The rod constantly wants to turn to it's center of gravity, which is not the proper placement.
