The appearance of this rod is very nice - a deep oil rubbed bronze color with an attractive finial.  All of the hardware is included, and the installation went exactly as it should have.  I was looking for a short (27") rod in this color, and the selection was limited, but even with that, the rod looks very nice on the all/with the drape.  It is a very lightweight rod - not high-end quality - but I still gave 5 stars because it is as described and a good value for the price.   As an additional note, due to space restrictions, one end of my rod butts up against the wall, so the finial can't be used.  This rod offers a capped 'finished' end (the finial that screws on is optional) which is a very nice feature, especially for me.
