 Good globe, fair price July 6, 2010
Thomas C. Poulin
I bought this globe to teach my daughter geography and for my own reference. I'm pleased with it. The base seems durable. The instructions are worth a read and discuss things like time zones.
Exactly as promised April 15, 2010

Other reviewers have said the base was some sort of plastic, but that was not the case on mine, it is some kind of cheap metal as are the thingies that swivel the thing around.
I still don't understand why this globe costs so much, but all the others on which you can swivel it about to look at Antarctica from the side seem to be in the same price range, so I won't deduct stars for that.
Very useful for learning, and built properly January 26, 2010

My son uses this a lot for his Social Studies as well as to find places - if they happen to be mentioned in a book he is reading. It has been very helpful. He compares things shown on the globe to a spread out map he has - and yes he had found things which are shown on the globe and were missing in the map.
great for kids November 8, 2009

I wanted a globe that spins in more than one axis for the living room for kids to learn about the world. This was a good value and they can read it clearly.
Excellent quality! October 25, 2009

This globe is far superior in comparison to the $40 globes at office supply stores. The all-metal frame and base is solid. I am SO happy I chose this product. The price is VERY reasonable for the quality of this globe.
