30502 12-Inch Globe with Blue Oceans, Silver-Toned Metal Desktop Base,Full-Meridian

I wanted to get a globe to have for our homeschool, but I didn't want to have to pay an extreme amount of money for a good one. There are many cheap ones out there, but I do believe you get what you pay for and I don't think they would last that long. Then I found this one. There were a few negative reviews, but they were thinks like the print is so small on some parts, well, there is only so much room. This globe was described by most reviewers to have a very nice stand for the price and they were correct. It is a metal stand that enables the globe to rotate in all directions, left right up down. It is metal amd seems very sturdy. I have had no problems with tipping at all. It is also a raised relief globe, which means that the mountain ranges and such are raised up and when you run your finger over them you can feel them. Great feature. The colors are great and the oceans, latitude and longitude are all marked out along go with the proper names for the ones that are usually noted. Over all, I think this globe is excellent in quality and a great price!

Brought for a Christmas gift. Great size and quality and detail is at the highest

Compré éste globo como regalo para mi pareja y le encantó, duró alrededor de 2 horas admirando los detalles. Los materiales son de muy buena calidad, los colores contrastan muy bien, la base es algo pesada lo cual te hace confirmar que es rígido y no se va a caer para nada, en lo personal me encantó que el globo gira en cuatro ejes gracias a los dos aros que lo rodean, otro característica que está muy genial es que tiene detalles de relieve sensible al tacto donde están posicionadas las sierras, cerros y montañas de cada país. En general un muy buen producto y gran detalles. Lo recomiendo 100%, está genial.

The undulating surface, an added feature let the user comprehend better.

This was a gift and I am very happy with the quality. It is a relief map and it also tilts so you can better see all parts of the globe. The base was heavy enough and it was not flimsy at all.
