Got this last month and the knob and assembly are true and work great! Have to replace various knobs around the 80 year old house I purchased so I have got everything from your box standard knobs to a bluetooth keypad combo. The Kwikset knobs aregreat to work with since they often come with everything you need plus a bit more incase you have an off standard door need. The color is a nice bronze, kinda "Worn" look that fits well with the other decor, espcially in this old place. There is no stick in the turning and the latch work flawlessly each time. Even after the 7 year old gets irrationally mad cause you run out of plastic spoons... for some reason. Good stuff.
