It's quite impressive when put together (which is a breeze) although the counterweight is quite heavy, and the actual telescope quite large, so it's not that portable, without taking it off the tripod.
Once set up, following the simple instructions, you're ready to go, as long as you can get a clear night.
One thing to remember with this, or any optical telescope, is that the stars will always remain the same size, regardless of magnification. What you WILL see, however, is stars that were too faint to see with the naked eye.
Take Plaedes (The "Seven Sisters") for example. Just a faint collection of 7 stars. The finder scope will bring all 7 into view, but will show about 20 more that you didn't know were there. Even the lowest (20mm) magnification eyepiece will limit your field of view to one of the sisters (plus others in the background).
You may find you'll need a greater collection of eyepieces than the 2 supplied, or even a 2x or 3x Barlow lens (used in conjunction with the eye pieces) if you want to see Venus in any appreciable size...............
