i'm happy with this one. The stand is excellent, and mountains are depicted by elevations on the globe. As for accuracy, everything seems to be labeled, the labels are legible, and they aren't falling off. i'm not going to check see if Taiwan is depicted as a separate nation because i don't care. The globe is very attractive, and it gives me a good feeling for the real (not Mercator) sizes of the countries and continents in question.
(A note about my method of reading reviews: i zero in on the worst reviews and try to winnow the nut-cases and whiners and unfortunates from those who make sensible comments. A great many of positive reviews seem to come from interested parties, while occasional really bad reviews are paragons of speaking truth to bad products. An alternative method of parsing reviews is to sort by date added. if all the latest reviews say "this product sucks," that is a bad sign.)
It seems more sturdy than I expected.
Pros:
- raised relief! If you are a kid or a grown adult like me who cannot resist feeling mountains on a globe, this is an awesome feature.
- sturdy! After years of aggressive spinning with 3 little boys, a couple of falls, and other fun :) the globe has a few spots that look like maybe the coating is starting to rub off. But overall, it's in great shape. Still spins just like it did when we got it.
- beautiful! The colors are soothing, if slightly child-oriented. The two hemispheres came together just about perfectly on ours. Really nice to look at.
Cons:
- a few inaccuracies—see other reviews. For our purposes, this is totally fine. But geography majors may want a different product.
- doesn't glow. I could see adding an LED that illuminates from the bottom. In fact, a flashlight does the trick. But the globe doesn't glow. Not a big deal IMO, but one of the few cons I could think of.
All in all, I recommend this globe to those that can't help but "feel" the mountains or families with kids.
Pro-tip:
Follow the advice of another reviewer and switch the spring washers around… it really holds better that way.
The good stuff: it came in a super sturdy box that held the globe stable during transport. (The manufacturer ships it, not Amazon.) The stand seems strong and sturdy, and of course I’m grateful for the 720° rotation. The colors are attractive. I even like the raised texture where there are mountain ranges. I’m glad that the United States is divided into states. Finally, although I’m not 100% educated on geography, I can say this globe is up-to-date enough for my purposes; for example, Sudan is divided into Sudan and South Sudan.
The less-good stuff: I’m surprised to see that Canada’s provinces are named, but not outlined! Unless the lines are just so fine that I can’t see them, you have to guess their boundaries. Some cities are identified in the US states, but I was really surprised to see that state capitals are not identified! I suppose some state capitals are named, but Austin Texas (where we live), Tallahassee Florida, and other states I’m familiar with have various cities but not their capitals identified! I also think that city placement is close, but not 100% accurate. Nevertheless, this globe will get a lot of use in homeschooling, and will serve our purposes. I would buy the same globe again if I needed to for some reason.
I bought this globe for my 10 year old daughter who is interested in geography. When it came in the mail, the box had a tear in it so I was a little worried but it wasn’t damaged. I read a lot of reviews on this globe and several others.
I was impressed with the size and bright colors. I like the textured mountain ranges. I like that you can rotate it in all degrees. It shows the borders of all the US states.
