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.

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.

Just arrived in the mail and it is a great little telescope for the price. The people who are saying that it is blurry must have spent no time trying to figure it out. It works fine. Simply push the first tube (the smallest) in and out to focus in on an object. I got what I paid for and I am satisfied with this functioning, well constructed item.

I purchased 3 of these telescopes and am purchasing 2 additional ones today. My use is to give them as thank you gifts for certain people who are assisting me with a conference. The telescope is part of the logo we're using for the event. They're very attractive, built solid and cove in a beautiful wooden box. I don't consider this item as something I would use as a magnification telescope, but for my purposes it fit the bill perfectly.
