I bought this globe to use for homeschool purposes and I am so pleased with the quality. It's definitely worth the money. I read all the reviews on this globe and on Replogle's Traveler. I liked the Traveler but was concerned about the reportedly flimsy holder, since I was getting this for my boys. There weren't many reviews on this one but the stand and holder are metal so I hoped it would hold up to "fast spinning". I wasn't disappointed. It has never wobbled and has proven to be very durable and well made. I love how the countries, states and territories are different colors and clearly marked. We've had no difficulty locating the areas we are studying in school. The raised relief gives it an added tactile quality that makes the globe seem more "real". The only problem I've found with it is that everyone in the family wants to "play" with it at the same time!

Globe given to Father who turns 102 and expressed desire for new one. His old one is also made by your company, which he has had for 60 or more years. He enjoys comparing the changes made over the years. He is still spunky and good memory. Thanks for your continued update to share the world with everyone..ETG
