Large 3.9” Magnifying Glass Dome - Genuine Crystal Glass Magnifier - Easy to Glide Paperweight - Professional Grade Reading Aid for Blueprints, Maps, Newspapers - in A Nice Gift Box (Large 3.9" Dia)

It has a great solid feel, slides across the sheets well (used on electrical prints and large flow diagrams with small print). Concentrates light in the viewing area and magnifies well. Very clear easy to view. It is heavy, so it works well on large prints and large sheets. Looks good just sitting on the table.

Being legally blind I need very large print to read anything. I'd bought quite a few magnifying glasses but none helped much. Looking at what Amazon had to offer I bought two of these, one for the living room, one for my office. I loved them so much I gave one to my son who admired it and I ordered myself a new one that's the new very large size. I like, too, but it's a bit heavier than the first, which is my favorite. I can read almost anything with them, so I'm a hug huge fan I may end up with one in every room. ;)Lee Marie Schnebly, Tucson, AZ

I loved Black Panther so much I purchased a $50 book on the making of the movie. It's a huge heavy book with loads of great pictures and pages of very tiny print. This wonderful classy magnifying glass was beautifully boxed and does a terrific job of clarifing a great story.

This is a great product, heavy (a good thing) and well made. It does a nice job of magnifying and it is very convenient and easy to use. I held back 1 star because the glass is so reflective that it sometimes glares in the light, which detracts from the readability of the magnified text.

Start off with the good. This magnifying dome is actually glass as indicated, unlike the one I returned where the ad claimed to be glass but was clearly acrylic. The dome also magnifies to an expected functional degree and the glass is mostly crystal clear.And now for the awful. As has been my normal experience with Amazon fulfilled products as of late, the item is packaged in a too large box with no filler material. Consequently the product and its manufacturer packaging is damaged. The manufacturers box was completely falling apart and was held together with clear packing tape. The magnifying dome itself has a tiny nick in its surface. It's small, however, it's purchased new and should be totally clean. Also, take a look at the image of the marketplace sellers packaging as advertised and then compare it to what I received. Their image presents an item and packaging that is giftable. Now compare that to the sad packaging as it arrived. Certainly not giftable, even if Amazon's packaging/shipping process hadn't completely destroyed it.I'm not returning the dome because it functional for personal use and actually glass this time, and I'm tired of dealing with Amazon's return process. I'm also growing tired of their don't give a damn packaging, shipping and lack of oversight of deceptive seller claims. It seems to me that Amazon is in crisis and their customers are burdened with the results.Amazon, please, please, please pull it together. Quality over speed any day.

This does the job, but it has it's drawbacks. It's heavy, so picking it up is difficult, especially from a flat surface. Mine scratched easily. I only used it on a a few documents and passed it over my desk at work and now it is scratched. The scratches don't prevent its usability, but it's just annoying the I only used it a few times and it's now imperfect, and so soon. It comes in a great box with its own velvet bag, but you can't keep putting it in and to of the bag or even on the bag when you use it regularly. I read small numbers at work and it is great for viewing a big chunk of information at once. It works for sliding over pages too, but that gets old. I might not buy it again, considering the weight and the scratch-ability.

Just arrived and it's an instant winner! Tested it on very smaller than newspaper print. I get my news online but I can see that it easily enlarges a single newspaper column and slides about easily even though it's quite heavy. It will be among my favorite things.. It sits at a corner of my mousepad to protect the bottom. Beautiful.!

This item was so nicely packaged that i almost kept it for myself. It was a gift to a friend with vision issues. He was so grateful. His first reaction after receiving it " I can Read The Comics again" The glass is very attractive and it's useful as well.
