I read a lot of reviews on globes, and it appears that unless you shell out $500 for a globe, you're going to have a few lines not match up completely in the longitude. This is no different here. But it's really not noticeable unless you're looking for the imperfections because it's only 3 lines and they're only off by 1 to 2 millimeters from 60degreesE to 90degreesE (which is in the Indian Ocean and doesn't effect the countries). I'm very happy with this globe otherwise. The base is sturdy. No wobbling. Good wood and a heavy screw at the base. It spins nicely. Comes with a "how to read your globe" guide and I like the time difference dial at the top of the globe. The raised topography is nice and not intrusive. The antique look is better in person. The countries are more subtly colored than in the picture which I found to be a little too "candy like". It appears to be up to date. Contains lots of cities, river names, etc aside from the obvious country and ocean names. I think it's a great globe. It's probably really worth about $50 at most, but when the cheapest globe online is about $30 and those are absolutely horrible in construction, this is worth the money in comparison. Seems the globe manufacturers keep the price a little artificially high.

I purchased this as an ornamental piece for our reading room, and have not been dissapointed. It's made of quality material and is very detailed. My kids (seven and eight) also love to sit an analyze the globe. They've learned quite a bit about geography simply by having it around. It comes with a nice pamplet on how to read globes, which is a nice bonus.

Best Deals for Hastings English World Globe

I had been searching the internet and local stores for a decent globe for under $100 (I had no idea globes were so expensive). It seemed that all the globes were flimsy and cheaply made but still cost upwards of $150! I found this one and the reviews seemed promising. I must say that I am happy the globe feels so sturdy and has some weight to it! Though I am disappointed that not all the lines meet where they are suppose to.

For now, it will do.
