the globe is beautiful, especially for being so relatively inexpensive. despite the fact that it's basically the same as a classroom globe, the antique colors and classic stand make this one a real treat to have. the writing is big enough to see country, capitol and city names, and boundaries are up to date. i get compliments on it all the time!

The product is light and has a VERY cheap feel to it. I guess I was expecting more from a $52 globe... I was expecting more "heft", and I guess I didn't read the description (it probably said "plastic" and "air" in there somewhere). I was focusing more on the fact that the description included the words "bronze" and "metallic". I fooled myself with wishful thinking.
That said, it is more than adequate for my needs: I bought it more for looks and decor than real function (my daughter has her own educational/classroom globe). The mountain ranges are slightly raised, which is a nice touch. I'll probably end up gluing it to the desk though, since it's so lightweight that it'll be easily knocked-over. Shouldn't the BASE at least be properly weighted, for stability? I mean, sheesh...
I guess if one wants a "real" globe, one must be prepared to shell out a few hundred bucks at least.

A beautiful globe for a good price. I bought this for my husband for Christmas and it was a hit. Plus, it looks very nice on the top of our bookcase!

It works fine and answers all my "globe needing" questions, but I wish it were better quality. Not everything lines up and it just feels cheap. If I had it to do over again I would hold out for something a little bigger and better made rather than worrying about aesthetics... but it does look pretty.

I looked all over for a more manly globe to give as a gift to a male, this one was perfect! The colors are rich and beautiful. The base was my only disappointment.. It's a laminated wood that scratches easily and can't be engraved on. I ended up just adding a gold plate with the engravement. This globe looks awesome in his office and made a great gift.
