I'm disappointed.  The curtain rod is sturdy, has a nice finish and is just what I wanted, but even with no curtains on it it will not hang straight out.  I'll have to shim out the bottom of the bracket about 1/4" for it to hang straight empty, and with weight on it I'll have to put some sort of brace on the wall when it's open.  I don't know what it'll look like when it's closed across the door.  Too bad, because it's such a good idea.
