Overall ok, but some inaccuracy some of which seems to be politically motivated. Should Taiwan be labeled as part of China? Is there a country called Palestine? Apolitically, Cambodia is strangely spelled with a K and I've never seen that before. We've only owned this a few hours so I can't speak to durability, aside from the inaccuracies its readable and seems fine for a kid who likes to see where things are on the globe. I'm reviewing immediately in case others don't want to spend $50 on a globe that isn't totally accurate, not sure if I'll find some other inaccuracies over time. I know many of us are really looking for accurate educational materials which are increasingly hard to find as people with certain political aspirations insert their fantasy vision of the globe/maps all over the place, and its strangely hard to find proofread materials even in a $50 globe. Unless Kambodia with a K is also some political aspiration I have yet to hear about. The globe is pretty large, bigger than a basketball. I like that it tilts out so kids can see the poles in relation to the other continents, and also envision the possibility of travel around the world via North-South instead of only thinking about East-West, the proximity of Russian/N. Europe to Canada/Greenland via the northern routes.
