4 Inch Acrylic Paperweight Reading Magnifying Glass/Dome Magnifier/Paperweight Optical Half Ball Lens (95mm)

This is aa great item. It looks nice, feels solid and magnifies well. I bought one and have given it as a gift.

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.

I rarely use it as a magnifier but it does work there as well. Not as well as a dedicated magnifying glass but enough to get me past the occasional tiny text.

A friend showed me this product. It is so much better than a magnifying glass! Great choice!!

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 bought two tabletop magnifiers at the same time: this acrylic one and the one by Satechi that lights up when you push down on it. I use this acrylic one and gave the other to my husband. They're both great, but you might prefer the lighted one (which uses a battery) in an area without good light. The acrylic one is heavier, so it can serve as a paperweight. It has to be flat down on the item you want to read, unlike with a hand magnifier which you can use to see non-flat items. In other words, it's good for reading only paper items.

Unable to have cataract surgery for over a year now because of health issues, I had reached the point that I could no longer enter our financial information on our computer because I couldn't read the receipts and the bills. - even with glasses. Now the pandemic has further delayed my surgery. Constantly switching glasses so that I could try to read the computer (on which I could enlarge the font) and reading glasses (which didn't seem to help much) made me nauseated. This little magnifier (well, not so little), has made it possible for me to work. No more trying to figure out if it's an 8 or a 5 or a 6 or a 3. I can see it! I didn't have room on my workspace for a hulking magnifier hovering over a page. I can move this guy around easily to see what I need to see. Someone said it was blurry, but I find it crystal clear and precise. It does help to have a good, bright desk lamp. I like that it comes in a protective pouch and I return it to its box after use to keep it pristine. No more frustration, mistakes, headaches and nausea. I'm so glad I got it. As an aside, I also got a keyboard with large white letters on black and it's been great, too!

This item is quite good both as a magnifier (for reading very small texts) and as a beautiful paperweight ... However my package arrived totally smashed (see the photo). Therefore be careful if you are ordering it as a gift to be directly sent to someone!

It was time .. it works like a charm . Curse the day we needed it but happy to have it for the fine print on packaging etc

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

Much better than expected.
