2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, March 1, 2005

By 

John P. (Vermont) - See all my reviews

The frame of this map is similar to those that you'd find on a cheap poster at the mall's novelty store. The metal was flimsy. Instead of nice, tight, mitered corners, they were separated by as much as 1/4". When it is hung, the frame, astonishingly, isn't sturdy enough to support the weight of the map without distorting. My first thought was, geeze, didn't they hang this thing before they went to market with it ? And as if that wasn't bad enough, some edges of the map were not tucked into the frame. Rather, they were crinkled up and outside the frame. For $130 including s\h I was expecting a *much* higher quality product.

The Amazon store from which I purchased it allowed me to return it without issue. But I think they should reconsider selling this product. It was exceptionally bad.
