This is a spiffy-looking globe, but it's not very tough at all. My first one lasted two months before my son dropped it. The arm snapped in two and couldn't be glued. So I ordered a second one. That one arrived with a broken arm. I sent it back and gave up. The plastic arm that holds this globe is just too fragile.

The globe itself is fine. The stand is so flimsy it arrived already broken. (I didn't damage it while removing it form the box; before I opened the box, I could see the globe lying at the bottom with the stand broken off through the side of the box.)

I also wish it showed a physical scale rather than just noting that the scale is 1:32,000,000.

It's a very nice ten-dollar lunar globe. It's very detailed but easy to read.

The construction does seem a little fragile, but it's a ten-dollar globe. I wasn't expecting cast iron. As mentioned in an earlier review, it will break if it's dropped. Big surprise. Most things will. Try not to drop it.

First off, I knew the globe was small, but it was still smaller than I expected. Just keep in mind that this is not close to a full size globe.

I read the other reviews on these style globes stating that the stand was poor quality and breaks easily, but I figured it didn't matter since the globe would just sit on my desk that wouldn't be an issue.

I even read one review that said the stand was broken when the product arrived, but I figured this was just bad luck.

unfortunately mine came broken also, and while the globe itself is nice it's useless with a broken stand. The arm of the stand is just too flimsy. I will be returning this, taking similar style globes off my wishlist, and finding something else. I would recommend against this product.
