Update: January 22nd. I use the product for several hours a day and in all that time it has helped a lot, so I'm updating my review. It still needs something at the base to keep it from tipping over other than I am very happy with this product. It does what it's supposed to do and its handles hold securely when placed where you want them. However, they creak like they're about to break when you put them in place, so not sure how long this product will last. The magnifying glass, as others have noted, is too heavy and will knock over the base if not positioned that way. The glass inside the ring is not fixed and moves, and the magnification is very small. LEDs could be brighter. In general, this is a normal product. All the others I've tried are also poorly designed, so I'll stick with them. I would feel better about this purchase if the price was half what they charge as the materials are pretty cheap and poorly constructed.
