Pros & Cons
Pros
The gskyer is easy to adjust and set up. My daughter loved looking at the moon with it. Other than that it still fulfilled my childhood dreams!
Cons
More magnification isn't always better and most things would be best in low magnification.
The optics of the telescope are subpar. It's frustrating to invest in a telescope only to be met with blurry and distorted views of the night sky. Not sure if this damage all occured in shipping or we got a used one.
This telescope is just plain unenjoyable and cheap. This is not for people looking to get into astronomy. Save your money and invest in a more reputable telescope brand.

Highlights
Quality
I was impressed by the durable aluminum tripod and quality optics.
The lightweight design and moderate material quality make it easy to handle, even for someone new to telescopes.
Consmaterials are moderate in quality but sufficient for beginners.
The adjustable tripod provides stability but might wobble slightly when extended to full height.
Price
I bought myself a great telescope at an affordable price.
Value for moneythis telescope strikes a great balance between affordability and functionality.
For the price, it is a good deal.
For this price you obviously don't expect observatory quality, but this is a great little telescope for the amateur astronomer.
Competitiveness
This telescope is probably one of the best telescopes that you can buy in this price range.
