This review is from: GeoVision Telescope and Microscope Set (Toy)

First I have to say my grandson was only semi interested in telescopes and microscopes. He did use it a few times, but his interest was lost because of having to set up the microscope and adjust the light angle and whatever. He is age 11, so I probably should have waited until he was a little older. The product itself seems sturdy enough and the telescope worked fine.
