I love this rod! I ordered the Satin Nickel finish as Im using it with a Wayfair white curtain to separate spaces in my basement and help to lighten up the area. The curtain rod is very strong and easy to assemble and hang. Note, you cannot remove the curtains from the rod without detaching the rod from the wall. At the elbow of where the ends screw into the wall is where the rod comes apart to remove the curtains. For my purposes, no issues (my living room curtain rod that Ive had well over 10 years has a similar design, so its not a thing for me), but if you want to remove your curtains often, this may be a cumbersome rod for you.
