 poorly designed stand Nov 22, 2001
The globe itself is ok and has a lot of educational value for kids starting out in geography, but the stand is so poorly designed that when you rotate the globe on its axis, the stand easily detaches from the globe. The whole point is to be able to rotate it, so in effect it's not very usable if you have to keep fixing the stand again and again. A heavier stand that would not move when rotating the globe would probably work better. The attaching mechanism needs redesign too -- right now it's just a screw in the base.

 There should be one in every house! Feb 15, 2002
By BAK
What a great, inexpensive globe. It's fascinating to watch a child spin a globe - even if they don't seem like they are learning anything, at least they are getting a general idea of the immense size of our world! Since getting this globe, my 5 year old son has learned about the continents and the oceans, found Australia on his own and pointed out that Antarctica is bigger than the USA. It seems that the globe gets loose from it's stand somewhat easily, but it is easily tightened. All in all, a great buy with terrific educational value.

 Broke first day Oct 22, 2005
By M. Skladany
I would not recommend this globe. I bought this for my 3rd grader and on the first day of using it, the equator peeled off!! I thought of keeping it anyway but decided to deal with the hassle and plan on returning it. It also feels too flimsy and can fall over easily.

too flimsy Jan 01, 2006

I bought this for my 5-year-old...the stand broke on the second day he had it. The globe itself is nice, but it's disappointing that the stand isn't stronger

Stand is a disappointment... Mar 16, 2006
By Shell
The globe itself is great. My daughter received this for Christmas and she just loves to find different places on her globe. The only problem is the stand. It is just screwed on at the bottom of the stand and we have to keep trying to tighten it up. They really should have made the stand better to with-stand children picking it up and actually using it. Other then the stand it is a great globe.
