This is a fantastic product. Very easy setup
December 29, 2016
This is a fantastic product. Very easy setup. Very easy to use. My grandson loves this and seems to want to go out every evening and enjoy the universe. Highly recommend for educational purpose and family entertainment.
Love it!
October 14, 2016
Easy to assemble and use. Great for the kids and us older children!
Nice value, well designed
September 4, 2015
This was a gift for an 11 yr. old beginner astronomer. Notice the lenses are very clear with no smudges, unlike some other bargain telescopes. Easy to assemble. Includes full size tripod, two refractory lenses and two Barlow lenses, making this quite a complete and versatile scope.Ideal companion book, "50 Things To See With A Small Telescope". You'll get more use out of your new telescope and well worth the price!

Looks good so far

Looks good so far, we are going to test it out tonight. My 7 year old is very excited.
Christmas 2016 present - will follow-up with a full review after
November 4, 2016
I bought this telescope for my 7 year old granddaughter for Christmas 2016. Currently rated 4 stars because we have not set it up for use yet. Will follow-up with a review after Christmas. It was packed securely for shipment; after looking in the box I did not see any broken pieces, etc. From others' reviews I think it will be a good beginner telescope for her.

No assembly instructions included.
November 16, 2015
Looks nice, but no instructions on how to put it together included in package. Had to download them. They really weren't all that much, so do not understand why they could not have been included.

KIDS TELESCOPE? MAYBE FOR ALBERT EINSTEIN JR.
September 16, 2017
Don't expect a kid to use this. Way too many pieces and not very sturdy. If you expect a kid to use it, it should be much simpler. KEEP LOOKING.
A little disappointed. Seems good quality but
June 12, 2017
We have yet to use this. There are NO instructions on how to use it or what to do with each piece. Searched everywhere online and still never found anything..not even a youtube video on how to use it. A little disappointed. Seems good quality but, wouldn't know.

May 11, 2017
Real hard time tuning in to whatever they're looking at but they are young and impatient. It's hard for me too but I only have full,vision in one eye
The telescope came in good packaging but directions for assembly were online only
December 26, 2016
The telescope came in good packaging but directions for assembly were online only. I cannot find directions for use and for someone who hasn't used a telescope in years, I really need those directions!Until we can figure this thing out, there are two very frustrated adults and three disappointed kids.
This may be a wonderful telescope, but for the money
July 4, 2016
This may be a wonderful telescope, but for the money, can't we get printed instructions in the box? What about us folks with no internet at home? Cheap-os
