Purchased as Christmas gift. Arrived with the impressive carrying case crushed at front panel. The microscope has fragile and delicate parts I expect will not survive the use of a beginner scientist very long. The slides are great. The telescope is lightweight and well suited for a child's use.

I'm fairly certain that this set is from the Family Dollar. It came to us wired backwards, so right out of the package my husband needed to rewire the microscope and tape it back just to keep it in place. The kids are happy to have it for now because it's something scientific and fun, but do yourselves a favor and please do not skimp and purchase this set. We found a much nicer set (at a much steeper price, but for educational purposes we jumped), on Amazon. It also links up to tablets and computers so you can see things better. All in all, this is a plastic play thing that didn't make it through the manufacturing process correctly.

This product is horrible. 99 cent store quality. I wish it could be returned. But I threw out the box it came in because it was a big crack in the glass.

This is a very nice product. It is not very expensive so it is perfect for my child to explore space.

Sorry I can not explain 50 characters. Wasn't worth 65.00 dollars. Very poor quality, tri pod to short. If my little didn't like it so much, I would return it ,but it's her first. For the price I expected much better. I did like the case. So it would be hard to recommend others to purchase did product. My opinion 30.00 dollars top.

My 13 year old daughter loves it. Hasn't been clear out to be able to use the telescope outside, but she can't wait to use it.

I ordered this for my Grandson as a Christmas gift, but it wasn't what was received. We received something totally different and it doesn't work. Quite disappointed on Christmas day. I'll be taken it back and hopefully be able to get what I actually ordered. If so, I'll rewrite an updated review.
