World Globe with Stainless steel Stand Rotating Earth Spinning Globe for Kids Geography Classroom Education or Decorations (8 Inch Blue)

Great item, perfect color for my room, looks vintage. Spins nicely. Legible. My grandson says , "The moon," he's two.

This globe is lovely, sweet & functiona!l (I got the simplest version~ basic 'vintage' style w/ no light-up nor constellations.) It's sweet size for small home/office-space, while still being just big enough to function well (w/ help of accompanying magnifying glasses for the smaller countries & islands). It's also attractive/pleasant too look at, on shelf. [note: I'm going to put a li'l hole in the plastic magnifying glass handle & tie a cord to it & wooden base of globe, so they stay near each other. :) ]I purchased this b/c I wanted something to easily refer to, when reading news, books, etc, to have a better sense of where countries are located in relation to each other, on 3D sphere. My place is really small, so a regular-size globe was too big/cluttered. But then a super-small globe-ball (which I got elsewhere before this, from a toy store) was too small to actually read... So this one is perfect! I've already used it to locate where a family member was traveling to/from.A great bargain too~ affordable, functional, & of lovely appearance / quality. Thank you!

It arrived in perfect condition and it seems well-made. The base is some sort of composite material that is at least an interesting texture. The stubby column is a matching color of wood. The metal half-circle is nice and solid with a functional sort of schoolroom patina. I can read the text fine. Yes, Europe is messy but still decipherable. However, I notice that many (all?) of the capitals of Europe are labeled in the English transliteration, rather that the actual translation: Rome is labelled Roma, Athens is Athinai, Lisbon is Lisboa, etc. I could do without the ship clipart. The equator tape covers up some things but I can read through and around it pretty well. Not all US state capitals are labeled, and not all states. Kashmir and Palestine are strangely pale, probably to do with territorial dispute. It does also appear to show China's claim to most of the South China Sea. The information appears current (shows South Sudan). The globe has a good weight for its size. Overall I am very happy to have a globe that is functional and elegant, without any bright colors, plastic doodads, or fake brass.

It's cute and I love globes but guess I didn't pay attention to the measurements it's too small at 72 I can't look for the magnifier every time I want to look at something May return or may keep as a little decoration

I got this globe for my husband for his birthday and we both love it. The size is great for his desk and it seems to be very well made. Great job! Thank you for helping me give my husband a wonderful birthday!

This is a fun, interactive learning tool for my grandson. I use it to illustrate night and day, earth rotation and to show different countries. He's three and so curious. I love that he can use wipe off pens on it.

Great

The globe looks very good, and it’s worth the money, except that some of the information presented on the map is not accurate. The map shows Israel but nothing about the Palestinian presence. The dominant political view is that Israel is sharing the land and sovereignty with the West Bank and Gaza, so if writing Palestine in the map next to Israel is asking for too much, then write the West Bank or something. Not to get political because we are all humans at the end of the day, but this is how cultural and ethnic erasure takes place. Lastly, the placements of some cities, like Sanaa in Yemen, relative to the countries’ borders are not completely accurate. Nonetheless, the globes looks aesthetically pleasing.
