It took me a while to discover that my kids were not going to learn any geography in school. About the time my 10 year old asked me what the capital of London was, I started shopping for maps.

Because the world changes so rapidly now, I decided to order maps large enough for a 6 and 10 year old to look at and comprehend, but cheap enough to be replaced once the borders of various countries are re-done.

The positives - this map is correct, it's large (we tacked them up in the hallway to the kids' rooms) and it's very colorful, which is good for 6 year olds.

The negatives - it's not laminated, now if I was buying this for myself that would be fine, but the paper is also some strange form of paper that attracts and holds small sticky fingerprints. Being maps, little fingers are naturally attracted like magnets.

If you are making the purchase for an adult or a classroom, or if you intend to frame it, then I highly recommend this map. If you are buying for little ones, I'd spend the extra money to get a laminated version.

One last note - if you purchase from Amazon, they are not particularly well packed. They put them in a tube that is too large for the map so it bangs around and the ends get a bit bent up. Also they don't tape the ends of the tube so I had to have a second one sent after my first tube arrived empty and without ends on it.

Note: this is a "kids review...sort of"
I bought this map on a whim after almost deciding on a model that would have cost ten times as much...with the same dimensions. I received the map, unrolled it and found very clear labels, bold colors, and an over-all pleasing appearance.
I only wish it were laminated
This map will definitely serve my purposes.
THANK YOU

I've always wanted a World Map and now I finally have one. It's one of thoses things that you see all the time, but don't realize that you need at home. The price was great. The map arrived within two days and was in perfect condition. Thanks![[ASIN:0528847120 World Rolled Map (M Series World Wall Maps)]

This map is colorful and large. An excellent value for the price.

This is a very nice map for the price. Good clear text and all the major cities. However, my only complaint is that it came flat in the mail. So there are creases every inch or so that I cannot get out. I suggest this should be shipped in a hard tube. Take your chances.

I bought a number of these for classrooms in Haiti. They're good quality and excellent value. Delivery was timely, and well packaged.

I ordered this world map and shipping was very quick and arrived (rolled) in perfect condition, there was just one problem... I received a US map in the mail instead of the world map I ordered. Obviously I e-mailed about the return policy, and I was prepared for the headache of having to return a $4 map.
Then next day I got an e-mail back apologizing for the mix-up. My money was refunded and I did not have to send back the US map. The only thing I had to do was order the world map again (and the price had gone down on it).
So not only did I get the product I wanted (this one also arrived quickly, but had gotten slightly crunched in the mail), I got a free US map also, due to their mix-up.
I was very satisfied with the policy of not making customers return items that would cost more to send back than they are worth, and the prompt reply I received to my e-mail.
I would recommend this seller, and the maps (while not laminated) are HUGE, colorful, very detailed, and look great on my wall!

This is a great map and not just because of its price. I was looking for a map that was updated, large, and colorful. And that's exactly what I got.

I actually like the fact that the map is not the paper typically used for posters (it feels more like printer paper) because there isn't a glare effect from light; useful because I'd rather not have to shift, twist, and turn just to read it. Also, the quality doesn't strike me as being any lower. You can always laminate it as well- we have a similar map that is laminated and (if you don't mind the glare) it looks very, very nice.

I have to reiterate how colorful this map is! A good buy for anyone, especially those who will use it fairly often and beyond "decoration."

Excellent product!!! Received in a timely manner. Very professioally packaged. I would suggest this product for anyone wanting a world map.

I ordered this for my office because I have the same map that I purchased as a set (US, World, some other smaller map) in my office at home. The map is great but the set that I have at home is laminated.

This is a great value for the price though.
