LOOKS GREAT. I BOUGHT 2 FOR MY GRANDSONS. THANK GOD MY HUSBAND AND I TRIED THEM OUT BEFORE WE GAVE THEM TO THEM. WE COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING BUT A BLUR THROUGH EITHER ONE, IN THE HOUSE AND OUTSIDE. VERY DISSAPOINTED

Ordered this as a prop for my daughter's presentation at school. I agree with previous post, the clarity looking through it is a bit blurry. It looks great from the outside isn't as functional as it looks.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cool idea, but poorly made, breaks easily, September 6, 2011

I got this for my 4 year old son, and he loved it. No, it doesn't work very well as a spy glass, but it looks cool and comes in a cool leather case. BUT, within two days of using it, the various telescoping pieces came apart when my son went to extend it. Each piece screws into the next, and the threads are just not sturdy enough for repeated use. Would not recommend this as a toy for a child. They're just to hard on it, and it isn't made to hold up to that kind of use.
