I have had this chandelier now for about a week and totally love it!  The instructions were lacking, but for someone who is even the slightest bit mechanically inclined can handle this because it has a picture of the construction, top to bottom. Clearly the instructions were written by foreigners, but we got through it.  This is a nice little classy piece that I looked at a few times before buying....then when the price went down, that was my cue!  Love it!
