ehhhhhhh i'm not so sure about it. I think the details matter. Curtain rods are typically 1-4" from the wall. This product looks like it works best <0.5" [0] from the wall otherwise it's possible the hanger will move around or have a "sagging" look. Finding curtain rods that are that close is uncommon and limited in styles/options (I didn't see one on a quick amazon/aliexpress search). That's not to say you're wrong, but I don't think it's as simple as you believe it to be.

Are you misunderstanding something? Clothes Railings are "normally" fixed on the ends (to the wall of the cupboard) or from above and can thus, be positioned any distance from the rear wall. Do an Image Search for "Clothes Railing U Bracket" for example.

  Having two sidewalls available such that u brackets work is probably not a good use case for this hanger. Usually it means you're inside a closet? But I agree you could build/attach small sidewalls or simply blocks and use this u bracket. But we've entered DIY space since it's not a common package and "readily available" as a solved problem.

    From comments I read elsewhere, there are apparently apartments in places like New York that have non-standard depth closets that don't fit regular hangers that these could be useful for, and the van-life crowd has also been mentioned. In both instances, a regular rod mounted on either side would work fine.

      I think also the negative comments here are missing how commonly closets are built incorrectly without the correct depth for a coat hanger. Not every day, but there are enough people living in condos which had lazy architects/contractors and might appreciate the solution. I've lived in one and seen several others. I couldn't think of another solution besides kids hangers, which wasn't a satisfying compromise.
