The description read Cherry "finish" hardwood so I did not expect Cherry wood and the stain color did match the Cherry tables and wood chest of drawers in the room. The problem I had was with sheen of the finish. The picture showed the wood finish to be full gloss or semi-gloss which would have matched the other furniture in the room however when it arrived the finish was "dead flat"and this looked awful and out of place. The solution for me was to lightly sand all of the wood and apply two coats of semi-gloss varnish. With this done the entire globe came to life and looked great.

This globe is easy to assemble and has a nice solid wood foundation. I felt that Replogle is asking a bit much for the price, but was fairly happy. My globe has a few small areas where the latitude and longitude lines do not line up perfectly (which is why the four stars) but the defects are fairly small and hard to notice. Enjoy using it with my young son to teach him geography.
