Replogle Treasury 12" Floor and Desktop Geographic Convertible Globe (Antique)

This product was easy to assemble, consisting of the globe, the stand (a shaped, wooden dowel), and a metal base. Everything screwed simply into each other.It seems well-made, but I’ve only had it a few days. It also comes with a guarantee that if the globe changes (countries, borders, etc.), Replogle will replace your globe at a 50% discount, which is a nice touch.It stands slightly shorter than I wanted (it states dimensions in the description so I did know how tall it would be), but for the price I’m still very pleased with this purchase. We have a number of geographic atlases to see more detailed information about an area, but a well-made globe at a reasonable price (which this product is) is worth the investment so children can place a site or area of study in relation to where they themselves live or have traveled.As an aside, the globe arrived in ingenious cardboard packaging that protected it well in transit - no styrofoam! That was an added bonus, as styrofoam is such a nuisance.

The media could not be loaded.  Ever since a week after I bought it, I've been regretting not spending about $250 for a well-built one instead of this one that's comically wobbly when you spin. You probably can get it and get some use out of it? But it's not solidly built.

As a decor item it's beautiful. I thought it would be a nice educational item for my kids, but since it's made mostly of cheap plastic it isn't very durable. The map is great though, still a great resource

This is a beautiful globe for a den or living room. Very classy.

I got this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend, and he loved it! It's a unique gift, so he's never really gotten anything like it. It's very pretty so it fits in well for a decoration, but is also very functional. Would recommend!

Bought for my 24 YO son who is a history teacher. I thought I was long past the Christmas morning WOW, but this gift got the WOWThe base was a little tight to screw on, but that wound up being a non issue because it did ultimately screw on tightly.He was so happy to bring this to his classroom.

This globe had inadequate assembly instructions with it. It was very difficult to put together. The screw to hold the globe on the stand was damaged in some way and had to be forced. We had to remove the globe from the frame to attach the frame to the post. At that it took a very short screwdriver to finish the job. We had to bring in an engineer friend to accomplish the job.

Very good quality. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because the font is very small on the globe.
