Replogle Student - Educational Classic World globe, Blue Ocean, Raised Relief feature, including a bonus map, made in USA, 12"/30cm diameter

Excellent Quality, my homeschool student loves studying the globe. It is great with the textures to show mountain ranges. The colors, boarders, ocean streams, everything is clearly marked and engaging. Great purchase. Flat double sided map is great as well. **One point to make is it labels the Gulf of America as the Gulf of Mexico on the globe and map.**

It's a globe. If you're deciding between versions, I’d recommend the one that comes fully assembled, since the seam along the equator is less noticeable.

We have been so pleased with this globe. The light is so nice and it’s a great world map! I shopped a lot of different ones and am very pleased with this one.

First glance it seems like a high quality but affordable globe, it's topo graphed/etched to make the feeling of mountains. The product is made in USA, it's got a high quality stand, it can be spun easily, the map geography is all correct and named correctly. I'm taking one star off because of the fitting of the top piece not being aligned correctly i had to do a little work on it to make it fit, overall my nephew loves it and he's been having fun learning about geography and various of places. Definitely recommended

Great for homeschooling! It really helps to be able to point out locations during lessons to help form a sense of geography.

For $50 bucks I think it does the job. I would give it a 4.5 if possible. I lost the instructions, but figured it out. I didn't put the 2.26 inch metal disk on at the bottom. It would have covered the Ross and Rone ice shelfs in Antarctica. This is a general snapshot of the planet. It's hard to be specific. I would consider replacing the metal disk with acrylic or similar. Just a laymen's observation. Why I bought it. I bought the globe out of what might be called a Grandpa emergency. My nine year old granddaughter asked me where the ice wall was and how could people keep from walking off the edge. I tried to explain it, but I have cancer. I'm quite weakened mentally and physically at the moment. I could tell she wasn't understanding though. This triggered a Grandparent emergency within me, so I ordered the globe. I can't wait to see her again and take a second shot at explaining it, and then asking her to explain it to me. Wish me luck.

Very fast shipping

At 50 bucks, I would expect no or as thin as possible of a dividing line and for the radio stand to be made out of cheap metal rather than plastic

Nice looking, but light stopped working after 1 month. Would love a replacement

Solidly made. Attractive. Few quality control issues which I wouldn't expect at this price. If you are looking for a perfect cartographic piece to enjoy, maybe step up to a higher price point. I bought it as an education tool for my five yr olds who are children of a 2 continent family. Overall satisfied.
