Magnifier Large Full Page Size Up to 3x Magnification Magnifier on a Stand Adjustable and Hands Free Desktop Magnifying Lens

I like the size of the magnifier but it's made of plastic and very soft. It had a scratch on it when it arrived and I've since put a small scratch in it with my finger nail trying to remove a piece of lint. You have to be very careful moving the arm. If you get it too low, the springs pop off.I needed a hands free magnifier and quick deliever for a small cross stitch pattern than I'm working on that has a deadline, which is why I ordered this particular item. I'd really like to something similar with a more substantial lens and a higher magnification for such small handwork.

Unfortunately for the price of this magnifier I expected a much better item. While the frame and structure are very well made, the screen is really terrible. Concentric circles are part of the screen and I guess because I'm not a scientist I don't know what they are there for but it sure made things difficult to see. I have had cataract surgery and need magnification to be able to do small detail work and really hoped this magnifier would help me, but it was totally unworth the price I paid for it.

After figuring out how to turn on the light, I have to say we are quite pleased with this product, and I have upgraded my review from a two star to a four star. The seller responded to my question on the light immediately, which was appreciated. The base is heavy and the arm is strong. I like the big magnifier, but I have to hold the newspaper/book just right in order to keep from having a blurred image. Overall, it is a very well-made product.

I got this for my father so that he could read more easily. He thought it would be very effective, however, he did not like using it to read lying down, and it is too heavy for him to move by himself, so he can only read in one place. For the price, I had hoped it would be made of lighter materials.

Use not so good,magnify some is big some is small,

The plastic lens is not clear enough.

Impossible to assemble, instructions pitiful. Have emailed manufacturer and have had no response. Obviously other purchasers had trouble because instructions have handwritten additional notes in ink - which by the way do not help at all. Disgusting. Do not recommend this. Now, how do I get a refund?

No reviews on Amazon.....should not have purchased. In description, this supposedly lights up.....ya right. It's a cheap clip on that DOESN'T WORK. Purchased for my 85 year old father who is going blind. He was able to see well enough to tell me to return it. Junk.
