Excellent product! I put this out on the kitchen table. My four boys(ages 5-14) have spent hours(not all at once) just surveying it as I challenge them to find continents, then countries, deserts, cities, etc. The colors are very pleasant for any wall or as I did covered with a plastic sheet on the kitchen table.

The map is very extensive and looks very nice. $25 may seem heavy for a world map but the lamination and labeling make it a worthy buy.

absolutely the best value out there! my 14 year old son wanted a large map for his bedroom and he wanted one with an antique look. we found this for an unbelievable price under $80, in fact, HALF of that, plus this one is laminated. We did our comparison shopping and this one was the best one we found online. Came in great condition in a tube and it was easy to hangup on the wall---we just used push pins and a leveler.

Now I can play geography games with my kids like---"name the 6 countries that end with "stan"". They love it too.
