Most of the instructions are written with no visual aids except to refer to the parts list. I've managed to get the tripod mount and base together, but of yet, I can't get the main "barrel" of the telescope to slide into it's plastic holder, where it is to be secured by two screws. It appears that it would be easy, but there's an element that snaps into place that simply won't, and I don't want to risk breaking it by pushing too hard.As of yet, I can't review the features beyond that it comes with a great carrying bag and really doesn't have that many pieces to put together. Would love to actually see with it...I will revise the review once I get it up and "running". ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Poor Construction *by M***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2012* I selected the Meade 20225 TerrStar telescope as my youngest son is often asking me where to find certain constellations in the sky and has always been interested in celestial events. I thought this telescope might be a good entry level scope with which to foster his interest. While it does work, I would hesitate to recommend it, mainly on the basis of its build quality but also for its usability.My son decided to assemble it himself and it was done by the time I got home from work. He had no issues putting it together and he managed to get it assembled correctly without any assistance. In short, it's easy to put together. However, his very first comment to me was that it was very cheaply made, and it did not take long to determine what he meant. The whole assembled unit is slightly wobbly and a little unstable though it does not feel like it will tip over without a little help - I would be more concerned about it breaking outright. There is much more lightweight plastic than metal and there are numerous opportunities to break components which all feel cheaply made.One of the packing decisions made was to put the lenses in the carry bag which is folded up in the box. So, until we realized this we thought the lenses were not included in the package. While this is not a major problem - all the parts are there - it does show a lack of understanding of the consumer who is likely to call the support line first before searching the carry bag.We took the telescope outside and started looking for objects in the sky, and we discovered a serious issue. Once we find something to view, the scope's positional setting is so loose that even the very slightest bump either knocks the object from view or causes the scope to shake which makes viewing impossible. At a minimum the scope itself should be mounted tightly and should move only with deliberate effort. I have found no way to tighten this up which is very unfortunate.I have trouble recommending this telescope. It's very cheaply made and this shows all through the product from assembly to use. Research other options before selecting this telescope. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/203127713-meade-20225-terrastar-60-millimeter-altazimuth-refractor-telescope-with-carry](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/203127713-meade-20225-terrastar-60-millimeter-altazimuth-refractor-telescope-with-carry) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-16*
