Globes Franklin World Globe, Antique Ocean, 12-Inch Diameter,Over 4,000 Place Names

Really lovely globe. Made an excellent Christmas gift.

This globe is beautiful, I will spend days studying it closely. I love the topographical raised mountain ranges. I love the time zone dial, and the 23.5° tilt, and the realistic size of Greenland, and the label Gulf of MEXICO. It was carefully packed and arrived in pristine condition. Now leave me be, I'm studying geography.

It was easy to assemble. I think it only had two parts, and It was packaged properly. It's not heavy, made of plastic, seems like you could easily fit it on any table or desk with no problems. I purchased the globe as a gift for my daughter who is currently in college. We have both used the globe numerous times since Christmas. It's eye catching but not in the way that you would use for decor only. This is more of a hands on globe to be used as it's function, a globe. We love the coloring and raised mountainous areas. The lettering is average or small. So if you have very poor eye sight you might not want this globe. That's the only negative description I have for it. If you're looking for a globe to use as a reference for geographical or other reasons it's perfect. It has a lot of information on it. Great for any age I would say. I highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful globe. I’m giving 4 stars because it’s extremely light. It’s nice and large, the states and countries are legible. The spin is functional. I may have liked a lighter globe better? This one is able to be used.

I am very pleased with the globe--have wanted one for years. The size is perfect, the color is right, I like the raised areas for mountains--and above all I am so happy that the international waters just south of the US southern border are properly entitled "Gulf of Mexico".

Very nice product and very quick on delivery.

Poor quality, not fixable

A fine globe for general use. Excellent overall appearance, good for general reference. The country boundaries are a bit hard to see, deliberately, since it uses a limited color palette for effect rather than multiple bright colors like a teaching model. Well-constructed; there is one area where the lines of longitude don't align perfectly, but it's in the middle of the pacific and doesn't affect overall appearance and utility. Well-made with metal stand and holder. A nice desktop model for display and reference. And an outstanding price.

It was meant to be a Christmas gift but the item got stolen... Amazon refunded me and I purchased another one... it arrived super fast and was a brilliant New Year gift. The color is super elegant the I love how detailed and accurate it is. There are minor issues with some lines not 100% aligned, but overall it totally met my expectations for this purchase.

I use it for reference when looking for a specific s'Pacific location/plaice

excelente producto

Love it! It is a little light in weight but other than that it is great! Bought it for my husband and he is very happy with it. Looks great in his library. I would suggest purchasing a magnifying glass with it as I did - there is so much detail that some can be difficult to read.

El globo tenía un aspecto muy barato, piezas de plástico feas. definitivamente no vale la pena el precio. Si desea un globo terráqueo que estaría orgulloso de exhibir en su hogar, no compre este producto.
