I was hunting for a globe for a christmas present for my girlfriend when I came across this one. The reviews looked good so i decided to take a chance and boy, Im glad i did! The globe looks amazing and the size is perfect for ones desk or bookself. It does'nt look cheap and it was well packed for shipping (another consern of mine). All and all im super pleased with it. I just hope my girlfriend will like it too. If not im keeping it for myself ;-)

I bought this at a huge discount off the usual Amazon price, from their 'Warehouse,' and at that much lower price I feel like I got my money's worth. Pay attention to the 'specs' for this item -even though the product description says "large," you are *not* buying a full size globe! I knew what to expect there, so no unpleasant surprises in that regard; this makes a nice little side-table decorative/conversation item for an office. The base feels good and solid, has nice weight to it, and does not wobble while sitting on a table. The craftsmanship is not top-shelf, however; the globe itself is lightweight, with the mapping appearing to consist of paper glued to a thicker paper/cardboard ball. One thing, for example, that I noticed was that where one seam ran down the globe, the letters in "North" and "America," with some of each word on each side of the seam, did not line up correctly to the extent that the last few letters in each word looked like subscript. In addition, the globe will not spin very smoothly on its axis, perhaps due to the materials used in the sphere itself. Nonetheless, for the purpose I intend, mostly decorative as opposed to close examination and/or any kind of regular use, this product is quite appropriate and satisfactory -at the price I paid.
