8'' World Globe with Gold Stand 720° Rotating, Kids Adults Student Geography Educational, Desk Globe Decorative Office Classroom, Unique Birthday Christmas Gifts (Elegant Turquoise)

i can remember when I was a kid, I was always fascinated by the Globe sitting on the bookcase in the Geography classroom. I loved looking at each continent, all the countries, and how they related to each other on a global scale.Ever since those days, decades ago, I've longed to have a globe of my own. I know I could never afford a 'scientific' globe like we had in school. Those cost hundreds of dollars, IF you can still find them!I found this 8" globe from JOHWOL quite by mistake. I don't remember what I was shopping for, when I spotted this. (Amazon is good for leading you to other ideas for purchases.) But, after I read a little about it and saw the price, I couldn't resist it.I will admit, I was a little skeptical about it being only 8" in diameter. The globes I saw, back in the day, seemed huge to me. But I was very pleasantly surprised as to how good this one looks and how detailed it is for it's size. 8" is a lot larger than you think, when it comes to something like this.Not only is it detailed enough to see many of the countries on each continent, most of the borders are up to date with the current political boundaries. All of the wording is easy to read. The globe itself is very well made. The stand is very sturdy. All of the colors are bright and clear.My wife and I are planning many intercontinental voyages. It's nice to look at this globe, as we plan, to get a visual on the distances. In one of the pics, I point out where we live. How fun is that?We're very happy with this new addition to our display case and object of learning.

THERE ARE A LOT OF MARKINGS ON THE GLOBE. IT SHOWS VIRTUALLY EVERYTHING IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. NATIONS, STATES. INTERNATIONAL DATE LINE, ETC. AND THE GLOBE IS SMALL SO YOU'LL PROBABLY NEED A MAGNIFYING GLASS

Very nice globe. It is well made and labeled correctly. The small size is perfect for my bookshelf but still large enough to read easily. I highly recommend this globe.

After receiving the package, my 13-year-old son measured the diameter of the globe, which was indeed 8 inches. The data on the page given by the store was very accurate, and the information on the globe was very detailed, accurate to the city. The scale is very accurate and the legend is comprehensive. My son said it was very helpful for him to understand the distribution and formation principles of the world's ocean currents. The quality is very good, the metal base is very stable, and it is easy to rotate. When looking at the South Pole, you don't have to look down, you can rotate it directly. You can also decorate your study room. Highly recommended as a birthday present! This is a useful, beautiful and high quality educational globe! you will love it.

I bought this for my 5-year-old grandson as a birthday gift. He was preparing to move across the country and I think it helped him visualize where he was and where he was moving to. Also gave him something to help him visualize the world on which we live. I think it looks classy, old-world rustic, and is an attractive piece in his bedroom. For the price paid, it was a good investment.

Arrived exactly as described

this globe is SO beautiful! i am a bit older so i need a magnifying glass, but the print is clear so it works very well!also, the mechanics are smoooooth. it is firm in the base with absolutely no wobbling and it goes any which way so all parts of the globe can be visible.the vintage look is so beautiful... thank you for the top notch quality and appearance!

I'm really pleased with this purchase. As you can see in the pictures, it really livens up the room with wooden or rustic furniture. I am thinking about buying a 2nd one for my home office, as it really adds a nice touch of elegance.Much cheaper than the options I saw in stores, most of which were over $100+.
