Note: this globe is about 5 inches in diameter! I was expecting a normal sized globe but must've missed the size disclosure in the product description. Also the color of the oceans on the item I received were navy blue (not light blue as the picture in product description would have you think) which doesnt provide the best color contrast, i.e. it's difficult to read. This is a decent item to buy so long as you know what you're getting.

I knew what size this was when I ordered, but it when I opened it, the stem that holds it up was cracked so it looked like it had a broken neck. Also the colors were to dark making it harder to read. The ocean was a very dark blue, not light blue as pictured.

This review is from: Replogle Globes 12/1 Wonder Globe, Blue Ocean, 11cm Diameter (Kitchen)

I was specifically looking for a small globe for our classroom and loved the price. But when it was shipped to me the arm had completely snapped in two (thus separating the globe from it's base). Oddly, it had been done with little to no damage to the packaging - as if it had happened long before it was shipped (or perhaps even before it was packed?). I actually had no problem with the color of the globe. The ocean was a tad darker, but visibility was not an issue for me (nor for the children, I would imagine). Also I expect small writing on a very small globe (and, in fact, am using it with pre-reading children, so I don't expect them to read it anyway). This product would be fine if you were planning to use it without it's base. However it appears that the arm connecting it to the base is weak and cannot be counted on to remain intact.
