I got this scope to replace a better, £450 instrument, and have been impressed with its performance. First of all, it uses 1.25" eyepieces, so you can upgrade from the included zoom eyepiece. In the second place, the lenses in the body create an image with a very nice sweet spot centrally, though quality at the edges is adequate to poor. The supplied zoom eyepiece is actually pretty good, functional and sharp at the 'long' end thought the pupil exit diameter and brightness are then much reduced. Focusing is good, and the scope's supplied cover is OK, though not brilliant. For the money, this scope is excellent value, and perfect as a first scope; there is none that comes close in bangs for buck, and I've tested dozens of budget scopes.
