Blue Ocean World Globe By Globemaster, Desktop, English (12"/30 Centimeter Diameter)

Now retired, I finally have time to read ; but now that I can delve into depths of current issues, I had no idea where many of the involved countries were located. This inexpensive globe sits next to my desk; its size is perfect ; I enjoy consulting it often,amazed at how much geography I am unaware of. Globes aren’t just for kids!!!!

The globe itself is great with good clear detail and my students love it. I switched out the base as it is plastic and wouldn't last long in my classroom with a metal base I had from an outdated globe for kid friendly perfection.

Plastic support seems a bit weak. But it's a lovely globe for the price.

Purchased this to donate to my kid's middle school. After being handled daily by the teacher to showcase the cities and continents they were studying and sometimes being handled by multiple kids, this 12 inch Globe is still attached and going strong!I researched all over the internet before deciding on this purchase. The graphics feature full raised relief giving it a more interesting texture than a flat print and keeps kids engaged to want to run their fingers over it. The globe is lightweight but still durable and sits firmly on the scratch resistant base. Everyone in the class appreciated the detailed legend and easy to distinguish political boundaries as they try to understand the world's current events. The teacher especially complimented at the accuracy of this globe versus other ones in the market. This globe is sold only through Toys'R'Us, so it arrived in their packaging and receipt.

This globe works for us. It's not a heavy duty one, so be careful when picking it up. It feels like if you hold it flimsily, you can break the base very easily. I love the raised landforms, and the accuracy of the continent sizes in proportion to one another.

My nephew loves it .Well he just spins it around and laughs . I guess when he gets older he will learn the various location but for now it’s his toy .I bought this to help him learnI must say it is well made and it can take a beating.

Well printed, clear and crisp. Perfect size and price.Stand is a little wobbly.

noticed that the paper glued to the globe was not flush with other parts, and the base is extremely cheap plastic, making the globe bounce up and down if you give it a spin. .
