Maps International Giant World Map – Antique Style Mega-Map Of The World - Laminated - 46 x 80-2025 Updated

Great, enormous map. 1. It's definitely laminated. It's an appropriate thickness of lamination for this scale. Something really stiff couldn't be rolled and shipped (you don't want the cost of shipping a 4' by 6.5' item in the flat). But it's sturdy, glossy, and plenty thick. I stapled through it many times to adhere it to my boards, and no ripping. Be sure to attach at many points. Using a couple of push pins to secure it to the wall will not work. 2. I used .75" by 1.5" boards cut to 78", stapled them about 20 times each along the frame on top and bottom. I would recommend stapling the bottom end close to the top edge of the wood so it doesn't bow forward when hanging. I put 3 sawtooth hangers on the top board, made them as level as possible, and only had to reposition one nail on my wall once. I also put a few nails directly through the map into the wall around the edges to hold it back against the wall. I could have used velcro but didn't think of that till afterward; anyway this is very unobtrusive and elegant, so hey. It would have been more beautiful if I'd stained the boards, but I'm 7.5 months pregnant so I pick my battles. Maybe I'll do a wash on it eventually. 3. It's beautiful! Very sedate colors so it will look nice with your decor, and country lines are clearly visible. Has major cities. I kind of can't believe how nice it is for the price. I highly recommend. 4. It came rolled up nicely in good condition. Be careful when unrolling! Don't let it just pop out, you might crease it that way. Unroll on the floor.

I love this giant map. I'm giving it five stars because the product itself is exactly as described and very nice. I love that it includes some sea floor topography. It is not laminated in the sense we may think (harder plastic covering that extends beyond the edges), but it is coated nicely and seems protected. It's shiny, but not as shiny as it might be if fully laminated. If this map were to be reimagined, I would prefer a Pacific centric layout instead. I would also like Antarctica to be represented completely. (It's missing the US base McMurdo, where I spent some time.) Actually, it would be nice to see both North Pole and South Pole. I added moulding and created a frame and it looks beautiful in my breakfast nook, where I can stare at it all morning. ;)

I bought this map as a gift. Every few days he mentioned he wanted a huge world map in his office. It came quick, it was the perfect size for his office. It is on a gloss paper and is not really laminated but it’s good quality. I really liked that this map wasn’t rainbow, I loved the gray brown sepia colors. He bought 4 pieces of wood and a black stain with poly and cut the edges and glued together. He attached it to the map with staple gun. It looks great in his office. Would highly recommend!

Overall great quality. Really like the vintage style for a more subdued presentation. The lamination is good quality, will be trying some dry erase markers soon to see what the outcome will be. Only complaint: the borders are marked with a fuzzy line that too easily blends in. Would prefer a bolder color so I could more easily decipher the borders. Map comes rolled up lengthwise. I unrolled, left out for the night, then rolled it up widthwise. With the use of masking tape and ingenuity I was able to install it completely by myself. Happy with how it came out.

Good laminate, not too thick and not too thin. Came ontime and very well packed. Details on some countries are not quite correct. There is a mix of English and local pronounciation and sometimes written in phonetics. e.g. Dubai vs. Dubayy. Assam province in india is not mapped. Few other errors. I use it as pin up for places I have been in the world ( although some I have to guess where they are) and stuck a cork board behind it (tip: use a thicker cork board than the self adhesive rolls if u can. Pins fall out).

Super detailed, thick shiny high quality laminated paper. Awkward to hang due to size (unavoidable and to be expected) but durable through the process. Money well spent

Printed on Heavier stock than most posters. It's photo Glossy. It is not truly embossed, though its drawn so well it looks like it is. I'm using it over my desk in the man cave and it's nice. It's high enough resolution you can get right up close to it to see details and it still looks good. I'm surprised this thing isn't $65-$75. its really nice.

I was thrilled with our new map. I've been looking for a large map to fill a space in our laundry room and this product was perfect. It was very well packaged and arrived quickly... and cost so much less than other large world maps! Now, we just have to insert the maps pins. A wonderful way to remember our family travels!

There is nothing to dislike about it, material is good, foto quality, perfect for a kids room who wants to travel the world

Eccellente

Great size and good quality with a shiny finish. It would be wonderful if they could sell the frame...

A really good selection of colours, works like a gorgeous artwork rather than just a world map. Very good quality print, and laminated on both sides, so it doesn't crease. Easy to mount - I used Commander sticky strips that don't damage the wallpaper. Very happy with the purchase, speedy 2-day delivery. I absolutely love it!

Diría que fácilmente es el mejor por el tamaño (es enorme) y la calidad de la impresión (las líneas incluso las más delgadas son bien visibles). No es la versión más fiel en cuanto a proporciones pero es muy práctico para referencias y es la versión más popular, además. El plastificado es bueno y se ven adecuadamente todas las letras; sin duda lo volvería a comprar de requerirlo, es muy decorativo en mi opinión. El único detalle negativo es el espacio que ocupará en la pared (2.00 X 1.20 metros) y la dificultad para enmarcarlo y colgarlo, pero eso es de considerarlo antes de hacer la compra.
