First, I loved the idea of this small globe that can be easily displayed. However, there are many issues. First, I noticed when taking it from the box, that the two hemispheres did not line up. There was a slight gap between the longitude lines at the center. Next, when I tried to push in the pin, it was extremely difficult. I was using smaller pins so I could mark more areas, but had to use the large push pin to make a hole. Lastly, when pushing a hole near a seam, the cork pushed in and the seam opened. I was able to pull it back into shape, but not able to make any more holes on that seam. It would have been better to mark with a Sharpie. So, overall, great idea, but poor quality.

Poor quality

We thought maybe the other reviews were exaggerating and that the globe couldn’t possibly be that bad in every respect and yet it was.- missing the second knob you screw at the top for the glove to rotate perfectly on its rod.- the cork slices making up the globe were all misaligned and not by a little.- there was a massive dent in the globe because it’s not package to be delivered without accidents.Over all it’s a really, really, really (reaaally) bad product that you will be disappointed with for one reason or another, pick yours from above.

I actually ordered this for my son-in-law to give my daughter for Christmas. She is a nurse who works for a travel clinic and is inspired to travel all over the world. This globe will track her adventures! LOVE it!

We used this for my mom's birthday party. We marked out all the places she'd been. So many people commented on how cool it was. I'd recommend it. You definitely need more pins than what it comes with.

Excellent product. Despite purchasing the larger sized globe, I still switched to smaller bead-headed map pins to save space in areas we traveled extensively. Colors look terribly dark in the box but are very nice when seen in actual light. Pins take a bit of patience to insert through the cardboard which backs up the cork exterior, but slow, steady pressure does the trick. Yes, there seems to be a plastic ring inside the equator which poses a problem sticking a pin in places like Singapore (as another rater mentioned) but i managed. Nice size, nice quality, and a great idea for those who cherish their travels.

Much more visually aesthetic than a wall chart. Doesn't have the clutter of country and city names, just a picture of the natural earth.

This is a great gift idea for travellers. The item arrived as expected, though in hindsight this is a pretty high price for what the item is. That said, it's a Christmas gift for the people who 'have everything' and I know they will be really pleased. This item arrived quickly.

This is a cute little globe. It's small, but still decently sized. Do yourself a favor and buy pins with the smallest heads you can find- the giant tacks provided are much too big for this little globe. (I purchased the Yongshida 0.16" Diameter Small Head Map Tacks Mixed Color Pack of 300 available on Amazon, they are perfect.)My complaints: (1) You have to push REALLY, REALLY HARD to get the tacks to go in; (2) as others have mentioned, the plastic strip around the equator is cheap looking; (3) should be priced about $20 lower. Still, I like it and I'm happy with the purchase.I've included a picture with a few tacks and a delicious beverage for scale.
