Its a great little starter but there are a few things which are fiddly.
My biggest hangup is the stand. Its really quite flimsy. We resorted to using a table to sit it on with the legs retracted all the way.
It does take a bit of tweaking to get things aligned, but after that its great as a starter.
We bought a barlow lens to increase the magnification, on the moon its looks great.

This telescope is for me not a child, I wanted a good quality product which was a good price easy to use. Which is what this is, I love my telescope I would recommend it to anyone. It's easy to set up and use, good clear instructions to follow.
The only thing is the stand is not very strong on its full length, but I can work around this. The other thing I like is it's very light, I can not wait to take it out in the fields once it gets a little warmer.

Very happy with this telescope! Easy to set up and use. I attached my iPhone for nice close-ups of the moon recently. Have had a lot of fun with this telescope so far this summer!

This was a fantastic gift for my nephew’s 5th birthday.
Experiencing the moon and stars with a toddler learning about all the possibilities of space also great bonding and imagination

The telescope itself is great. We’ve been out most nights looking at Jupiter and Saturn and constellations.
The only negative thing I’d say is the tripod is very flimsy. It broke on our second use and we had to fix it. It’s very poor quality.

The price is good but maybe I expected more.As for viewing planets,I think you need more power and to spend more to get better.I live close to the airport so it's ok for that.
