Awesome map, HUGE and fancy looking. And my goodness can you find this thing for cheap! Highly satisfied with this map. Nail it in with some small gold colored nails and it looks absolutely stunning up on the wall.

I was so pleased with this product! It came in a nice tube and packaged very beautifully. I had no problem getting the map out of the tube and once it was on my wall, it layed flat and was breath taking! I got this as a birthday present for my husband and I was worried about how it would make our bedroom look but I am so glad I bought it because it truly is beautiful! I really suggest if you are going to buy a wall map that you pick this one! It was all in one piece so there wasn't any kind of positioning it together. We took some thumbtacks and just placed it on the wall! Great product! :)
