I needed a tension rod to hang regular curtains and I didn't want it to look like a shower curtain rod even though that's usually what tension rods are used for.  It's hard to find more modern looking tension rods but this one fit the aesthetic I was looking for.  It's a little lighter and a bit smaller in the diameter than I thought it would be given the price.  But so far it's holding up 4 panels of curtains without a problem and looks good.  

Pros: Looks good, seems durable
Cons: Slightly smaller diameter than expected
