2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing globe, February 4, 2010

Upon receiving the globe with much anticipation, I was disappointed, for two reasons:

1. The seam along the equator is very wide and visible. When the globe is plugged in w/ light on, there is a visible shade around the seam/equator that looks simply ugly. This globe is certainly not suitable as decoration.

2. The raised-relief map is not precise. Upon casual examination, I found that Mount McKinley is in the ocean, and Switzerland is all flat, and so on and so forth (where on earth do those Swiss ski then?!) I'd rather have no relief than one that is off by 1/4 inch.

In short, don't buy it if you want to get a top quality globe.

It's a nice globe, it lights up and shows a lot of detail and information but for spending almost 100 bucks the base looks kind of cheesy and the globe has a cheap feel to it, the base is light and if you bumped into it, it could be very easy to knock it over and break it.

The product arrived quickly. This globe is very nicely finished and has plenty of detail. The pleasant surprise is the light inside. We look forward to many years of use with our kids.
