The place where the globe attaches does not seem to fit right, but the globe itself is awesome. Many places in great detail, fine colors and very readable place names make it a great investment for educational purposes.

I broke the base on assembly. The globe wouldn't fit into the base on its own so I tried to muscle it (last resort). It snapped and now I have a baseless globe. At least I can hold in my hands to look at.

The map itself is good.
