GeoKraft Educational 13 Inches Height,10 Inch Diameter Metal Base Globe with Magnifying Glass/Home Decor/World Globe/Office Decor Gift ItemShow Piece (Blue)

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Very good gift to children 😊

We bought the 10" diameter globe, and it is quite appropriate size for home - neither too small nor too big. The sphere itself is well made, and has a colorful map. To my limited knowledge, with no special expertise in geography, the map seems accurate. We bought the combo of globe + magnified glass.I was a bit worried about how the colors on the globe might look since there seemed to be varying colors in different pictures of the product. But the colors in the product we got are good/attractive, not dull. I was also concerned about the issue that I read somewhere of some countries or their names getting misaligned due to overlapping of the pieces of the map, but there is no such issue in the globe we received.Having said that, the chrome/metal part that supports the sphere needs improvement. The finishing does not look quite good, and the base is somewhat sharp - probably not too sharp to cut some skin, but definitely not comfortable to hold, though we likely need to hold the base only occasionally. Moreover, when put on a bare floor and moved around, the base makes a screeching sound that's quite irritating. The manufacturer could have put some thin rubber cover at the base to avoid that noise and also to make the base more stable. Another issue is that, while we rotate the globe as we use, after some rotations, the screw at the bottom gets loosened, so the base becomes loosened. We need to tighten that screw. This is happening repeatedly. These are the issues due to which I didn't give full 5 stars. If they can be rectified, it will be a perfect product.Attached a few pics.

Good quality

The first piece of Globe was broken and the second one also had a small hole not very visible. The packaging was really bad for both and I believe the seller is trying to sell the broken items. Apart from this product is good at the price point.

Nice product

Value for money. I put it on the Fridge. Now the fridge looks awesome because of Globe. New look to the refrigerator.
