3.0 out of 5 stars Natioanl Geographic Globe, April 30, 2007
By G. Pope (Alaska USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The place where the globe attaches does not seem to fit right, but the globe itself is awesome. Many places in great detail, fine colors and very readable place names make it a great investment for educational purposes.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice map. Cheap plastic, May 9, 2007
By danlozo (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I broke the base on assembly. The globe wouldn't fit into the base on its own so I tried to muscle it (last resort). It snapped and now I have a baseless globe. At least I can hold in my hands to look at.

The map itself is good.

3.0 out of 5 stars You get what you pay for, March 30, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I just received the globe but didn't start the Nat'l Geo subscription so I can't review the second part of this offer. Of the 3 stars reserved to for the globe, it earns 1.

The globe is indeed spherical and the continents can be easily identified from the oceans. The globe is somewhat smaller than I expected and the entire layout looks cheap - but what can you expect from something that's made cheaply and hastily in China sweatshop? Little wood pieces came off the base while unpacking it but that's not something a little glue can't fix. Setting the globe on the base was difficult as the globe's axis extension needs to be pushed really hard to fit inside some plastic orifice. After all is done, the entire setup looks quite fragile but it should not fall apart if no one touches it.

Looking forward for the magazines now. I hope they didn't outsource those to China too.
