This review is from: Replogle Globes Franklin Globe, Antique Ocean, 12-Inch Diameter (Kitchen)

Disappointed in the construction of this globe. The lines of latitude do not flow smoothly from section to section on the map. There are bumps and grooves where there should be none. I posted an illustrative pic. The base is quite rudimentary. The globe does not spin freely. However, it is a step above the slightly cheaper globe I saw at a big box book store. In the item's defense, from a distance, the color and sheen of the globe are quite pleasing. It comes nicely packed. It will be functional and for the price I won't mind it being bumped around and spun by curious and occasionally grubby fingers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Quality and Detail, February 8, 2010

In the movie about Amelia Earhart there is a quote I believe that says that part of her motivation was based upon receipt of a globe as a young girl. I therefore gave my two grand daughters these globes for Christmas and they were delighted. Both are 7-8 years of age and are at the point where they can start to understand distances, places, and the scale of things. This globe brings the world to each of them yet in different ways.

The color of the globe, the sepia like tint, is pleasing and it appears quite durable even as a gift for a somewhat young child. It seems so far to withstand the twirling that is all too common with globes and the young and the grabbing and carrying it around to demonstrate a point.

Having a globe like this, one of moderately good quality and durability, will be a very useful tool in understanding the world.

I bought this globe for my 4-year-old niece for Christmas - she LOVES it! It is very sturdy, aesthetically pleasing, and well made. It shipped quickly and the entire transaction was very easy. I totally recommend this "world" (as my niece calls it).
