This is a sort of functional telescope! It does come with a nice wood storage box that will hold the telescope in its provided soft case. The box is of soft wood and a natural light color. For the grins of it, I stained my box with a walnut shade of stain.As to the telescope function, I have an applied technical engineering background and am quite familiar with instrumentation. I found that the "telescope" had a natural focal distance of about 150 to 175 feet. I could not focus anything at any other distance, not matter how I adjusted the tube length. The field of view is quite narrow. At the 150 focus distance, the field of view was just wide enough to include the back of a pickup truck!One does need to be careful of how close the telescope is held to the eye. Your eye needs to be a centimeter or two from the eyepiece. Closer than that, things don't work so well.This is not a practical telescope, but for the price it makes a nice display item and overall, is built well.

This is a treasure! It's beautifully made and it comes in a gorgeous box. It has a luxurious feel. Looks wise, it's awesome! It looks legit and is surprisingly weighty. I can't see out of the lense well and it does not seem to be adjustable, so it's more for looks than functionality. My kids love using this to play pirates. It's definitely worth the price.

This telescope is a fascinating and fun tool for our cruise ship trip. It is also a great tool option for watching games, hiking, and hunting. Its lightweight and portable design make it easy to carry on all my adventures, and the high-powered zoom delivers impressive magnification. The brass construction not only adds a touch of vintage charm but also ensures durability and great material quality. The telescope is waterproof, enhancing its suitability for outdoor activities. However, one thing that needs to improve is adjusting the telescope to achieve a clear image can be challenging at first. I took a little while to figure out how to manage this telescope. It requires some practice and patience to get used to the focusing mechanism. Once mastered, it provides a rewarding viewing experience. Other than this, the overall performance and portability make it a valuable tool for us.
