Replogle Globe With Antique Shading - Raised Relief Topographical Political Globe - 2018 Country Lines (12" Diameter)

Es un globo muy muy bonito. El detalle está en que, al menos la división política de México no está bien hecha. Considero que podría ser más barato, pero el material y demás están muy bien. Como decorativo, es muy bueno

This is probably the best globe I’ve ever seen. Most globes are applied by strips of paper put on one-by-one, leading to some countries’ borders being overlapped, but fortunately, this was not the case whatsoever for this globe. It was beautiful and shiny with aesthetic colors. It has no overlapping counties whatsoever, which was a relief. One thing that really stood out to me was how the countries were labeled. ALL OF THE LABELS WERE CORRECT! On all globes besides this one that I’ve bought or ordered had at least one not up-to-date country name. For example, the DRC as Zaire and North Macedonia as Macedonia. One globe claiming to be “up-to-date” that I ordered even had Yugoslavia still as a whole country! But this map had everything correct, updated, and actually readable, which was a relief because I got this globe for academics. It was the exact size said in the name, and isn’t too light or too heavy, just right in the middle. The details are beautiful, and it looks absolutely gorgeous. It doesn’t spin as fast and freely as other globes do, but I’m not going to be spinning this all day, so it’s not a problem. At first, I was skeptical about the price, but now that I have it I think it was worth every penny. This handsome globe screams quality. This was a huge win, and I’m so glad we got this.

La qualité est vraiment pas bonne ... l'assemblage du globe est très mal fait!

Quality was good

Looks like the photo in the description. Longitude lines line up (saw some reviews that mentioned that issue). The 12in size is just about right, big enough to see enough detail, not so big it would take up too much space. I like the old world colors -- the ones with bright blue oceans make the continents less dominate, imho. There is just the right amount of relief on 'mountain' ranges. I see nor feel any imperfections. Yes, the stand is 'light weight' - there are versions out there with 'better' stands. This one is stable and works just fine. This is a more than good enough globe - recommended.
