had a heck of a time finding a rod pocket curtain rod that would not show the bracket & allowed the curtain to cover such --- this rod does just that & has a nice curve to it that sits against the wall -- you cannot see the bracket at all -- a real gem -- 3/4 inch pole just big enough to allow movement of the curtain to open or shut --- I also put holdbacks on each side & just drape the curtain over the hold back --  makes a nice designer look for day & night time when I shut the curtain. 

Pros: nicely thought out design to th rod
Cons: none
