Setup took less than a minute, and that included mom (me) doing that thing where you don't read the instructions - I put the telescope on the tripod backwards and my son quickly corrected me and dad turned it the right way

Not in a clear-enough-to-satisfy-a-child way, but in a twenty-beers-in-an-hour way

Purchased as a Christmas gift and the telescope itself has been assembled incorrect from the factory so the telescope does not work the correct way.

My children enjoyed it either way.

It is the perfect way to introduce astronomy to little kids!

It is a child's toy and a great way to spark interest in using a telescope, but it is only about 10x magnification
