Revainrating 5 out of 5

Mine came disassembled - no instructions for lens order and orientation

Pros: It's a significant fraction of the price. I would call it well done. nice and hard Solid brass and glass. Not very good: mine broke into pieces. I had to spend a lot of time arranging the glass lenses in different orders, flipping and swapping them until I found one that looked the best. So I don't know if it's assembled correctly. It's clear that you can tell which part of the kit is inside the door and which is outside. But figuring out the order of the lenses in the housing coming in from the outside (the section WITHOUT the little swivel cap) took a lot of time and purely deductive guessing. This made it difficult to have a small washer, which also had to be taken into account with many placement options. It wouldn't hurt to have a simple diagram showing the order of the lenses and washers. So everything installed and working. I have no idea if the image I'm seeing is what should be seen. It's a wide-angle effect and a little blurry until I adjust my vision through the reading portion of my bifocals. Then the image is sharper, but the objects are removed a bit (which may be due to the wide-angle view). There is a slight effect when viewed through the tube. So it would probably be a great product if built right, but I have no way of knowing if that's the case for me.
