My grandson loves his new globe. It is a good size and has great detail. The light inside shows off all the detail and does not wash it out. It is good for him to explore our earth and use as a night light. I am glad I got it. Read more

The globe is brightly colored and shiny. In fact, I would describe the globe as having a “high gloss” finish as opposed to a “matte” or even a “gloss” picture. This makes it a strain to see in well lit rooms from the reflected glare. Additionally, this is not a relief globe so there are no mountain ranges of any kind depicted. Similarly, there is no latitudinal reference on the vertical support like many other globes meaning you need to find latitude somewhere in one of the oceans and follow around to where you are trying to determine the coordinates. Longitude is labeled at the equator which in my mind is probably the minimum, short of omitting them all together. On a more positive note, the text labeling is pretty clear and easy to read, even in label congested areas. Major cities and country capitals are included where they can reasonably be accommodated. The light works well and has a simple "on/off" button on the USB power cord. Overall, this globe was a poor choice for me at its current near $60 pricing on Amazon as there are several comparable globes, also on Amazon, that are much better values. I have already shared the globe with our grandkids so will need to hang on to this one until I can find a better valued globe with more features. That shouldn’t take too long I'm thinking. Read more

The globe is accurate. The names can be read and the land masses can be seen on the medium-sized globe. The base is sturdy. Its best feature is the illumination. It is very pretty when the light is on. The on/off switch is easy to reach. It spins on its axis without dragging. This globe is nice as both decoration and a learning aid. Read more
