BIJIA 4 Inch Acrylic Paperweight Reading Magnifying Glass/Dome Magnifier/paperweight Optical Half Ball Lens.

This is the fourth dome type magnifier I've purchased. The first two were just too small (width wise). The third one didn't have a flat part to pick it up with. The only way you could lift it was by sliding it off the side of the desk. this one works amazing. Nice and large. Bringing it to work and bringing home the small one I have there. While I wish it wasn't >$20.00 it's actually worth every penny I paid for it. I'd buy another if I had a need for another one.

It is heavy and solid, only good to read if the book is on a stable flat surface.I purchased this because the hand held minifying glass with light that I have I sometimes get tired of holding so than I switch to this one

This is a beautiful magnifying (half) globe - just as advertised. Thank goodness it had several layers of (manufacturer's) packaging because Amazon sent it in a flimsy bag - this is a heavy item and it clearly had been tossed around, destroying all the layers around it (but staying intact itself). It needs to be sent in a heavy cardboard box.

I have problems sometimes reading the really small print on contracts for example, which can be a real bad deal. I had been looking for something like this for a while now and stumbled on this when looking for a new desk lamp magnifier to utilize for other projects. Lets say this product is amazing, made very well and almost flawless, it arrived well packaged, but not over packaged, no blemishes or scratches, and I'm a really tough person to satisfy, believe me.So I'd recommend this product to anyone who needs a little extra help for tired eyes when reading, or just looking at different objects. Great Product for the price.

Ordered this as a gift - the gift box was "masticated" since they shipped it in a mere plastic envelope rather than a box that would have protected it. The interior packaging is cheap as others have stated.Magnification seemed okay, but questioned the clarity. Re-ordered another from Dandelion, which came in a box, and magnification and clarity seem better on first inspection. Happily back in my "wrap session". Merry Christmas!GT
