## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good product
*by S***A on 9 October 2019*

My son just loved it...he assembed by himself at the age of 11..although a little costly than expected..but worth a buy and u can view samples in the microscope..Hats off to the innovators

### ⭐ Waste of Time, Money and Efforts
*by R***  on 3 September 2022*

Takes more than an hour to assemble and finally huge disappointment. After all these assembling tiny papers realised that assembling was not required at all...tiny lens is all you need then why waste so much time? normal broken glass shows much better view than this product...I bought this from insta reel somebody advertised it..so be aware of fake reviews...this product doesn't deserve a single rating as well, don't waste your time and money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ WOW BUT FORBEARANCE
