Rated 3 out of 5 stars
Suitable for a 16 year or older teen.
The package was very bulky. I did not find an instruction booklet for quick setup. It requires at least 12 hours of setup time. I have not had a chance to test this out yet for a viewing experience. More suited for college beginner than a 10 year old kid.
