I got this doorknob for the pantry in my 1955 house. The installation instructions were fine, though mostly just pictures, and I was just replacing an old doorknob so there wasn't much to do other than screwing it in. Two of the screws were a bit difficult to get to due to them being almost underneath the handle, but if you are persistent enough, you'll get it. It's a nice color, mostly the dark almost black color with a more bronzy look around the edges. It's a nice weight as well, doesn't feel cheap.
