The telescope and three lenses are good quality. All in all, this seems incredibly good value for money. I am very happy with my purchase.

Its a great little starter but there are a few things which are fiddly.
My biggest hangup is the stand. Its really quite flimsy. We resorted to using a table to sit it on with the legs retracted all the way.
It does take a bit of tweaking to get things aligned, but after that its great as a starter.
We bought a barlow lens to increase the magnification, on the moon its looks great.

This telescope is for me not a child, I wanted a good quality product which was a good price easy to use. Which is what this is, I love my telescope I would recommend it to anyone. It's easy to set up and use, good clear instructions to follow.
The only thing is the stand is not very strong on its full length, but I can work around this. The other thing I like is it's very light, I can not wait to take it out in the fields once it gets a little warmer.

This was a fantastic gift for my nephew’s 5th birthday.
Experiencing the moon and stars with a toddler learning about all the possibilities of space also great bonding and imagination

Within ten minutes of unboxing, I had built the telescope, attached the tripod and lenses and had it ready to use. The instructions were very clear - even for an absolute novice like me. The tripod and mount seem very sturdy. The telescope and three lenses are good quality. All in all, this seems incredibly good value for money. I am very happy with my purchase.

This was a gift for a friend. We assembled it pretty easy. For a complete beginner, it took some time to adjust the lenses. Would be good to include a clearer instruction on what to look out for when adjusting lenses and what the difference is between them. My friend is looking forward on learning more about telescope and how to use it, she said will continue to try it on different objects :)

Good quality beginners telescope (birthday present from my wife). Decent instructions and very easy to put together. Rucksack is a useful addition, as is the height adjustable tripod. Came with mobile phone attachment which I haven’t used yet but was easy to set up. Looking forward to a full moon to put it to good use. In the meantime I’ll satisfy myself with spying on the neighbours ;)
