As others have mentioned, there were no instructions included at all.  Fortunately we've replaced several light fixtures so it was no issue for us.  The crystals came with the final large crystal assembly required, this was tedious but not too difficult.  The shade has a bit of silver look to it more than  pure white  when the light is off but again is not a big issue for me.  

There was an industrial odor with the fixture that took a few days dissipate.  Overall, it is a great value for a modern look and I would definitely purchase again. 

Pros: Great value, modern look, real glass crystals
Cons: no instructions, odd odor
