I used to be an optician, and I am appalled by the poor quality of this item. At most it must've cost about ten cents to make. With shipping this will run you about $20.00......it isn't worth it. Take my word for it.
But there doesn't seem to be much of a choice in this sort of reader that's of decent quality.

I have low vision problems and hoped that this lighted stand magnifier would make it easier for me to read standard text. The magnifying plastic sheet is of such poor quality that it was almost useless for my particular needs.

As other reviewers have written, this is very cheaply made and very flimsy. The magnifying *plastic* is muddy and when you turn on the lights in the magnifier, they create a weird prism effect that distracts from what you're reading or crafting. I also tried hanging it around my neck like the manufacturers recommend & it gave me a neckache.

In short, please don't waste your money.

This is an other example of cheap Chinese plastic junk passed as a useful item. It is particularly sad that such rip off is perpetrated on those who can not see well.

Not happy with item or price paid. Emailed company for refund. Never heard a word. I'll not deal with them again.

I ordered this for my 82 year old mother that enjoys reading her Bible and local newspaper. The concept was nice, but the lights did not work. A good idea for a product but overpriced and not useable.

All positive reviews on this item are fake. See how they all seem to have "real names" but have only one review on Amazon. And see how the positive reviews contrast with the negative reviews.

the item is nice but its hard to see at different angles . It works nice for small items to read

For goodness sake stay away from this product. It is a piece of junk. Mine arrived broken which is not surprising because the magnifier part of the product is just cheap, thin plastic film with wavy lines in it to produce the magnification. One could easily punch a finger through it using very light pressure. The frame is extremely light weight plastic and the legs would not open completely. When I opened the package, a very strong odor of what smelled like mold hit my nose. I am allergic to molds and my fingers and face started itching immediately. I admit to a certain amount of accountability here since I should have been smart enough to stay away from a "As Seen on TV" product but the glowing description roped me in since it looked as though the product would fill the bill for my close in craft work. Wrong. This product has an even poorer quality then I would have expected. Don't order it.

This magnifier I bought for my mother who has limited sight due to macular degeneration. The quality of this product was very cheap. The magnified image was still not large enough and also was not clear enough. It was unusable and we threw it away.
