Beautiful, good for a rough time, some pieces break
It's fun and looks beautiful, but I wouldn't necessarily say it's worth the money.The pieces come out of the boards fine -- for the most part. But some of the thinner ones I was worried about breaking didn't break... only one. The instructions are pretty standard and mostly easy to follow, but there is one vital part where I messed up, and going back to fix it would take ages and also probably require breaking the whole thing; so basically I won't be able to put all the countries on it and use it as an actual globe. As a young person, I noticed a lot of people in the reviews mentioning how small the instructions are, and I can see that now; I didn't notice so much when I was building because I was too into it, but I attached a picture for reference so you can see just how small each instruction piece is.It is supposed to spin, and it does come with a little tee light candle so that you can wax it to help it spin better; I didn't bother with the wax, so it basically doesn't spin for me. The mistake I made in putting it together would not affect how well it spins, so basically if you want it to spin without a huge fuss, put the wax on. Still I probably would worry about spinning it, because it probably would break some of the pieces quite easily when you move it.It took me a couple hours to put most of it together by myself. These kinds of projects are always fun, but I don't know that I'd suggest someone buy this one in particular -- for the price, as well as for how it ends up, unless you're okay with just a nice-looking globe that won't move. (And maybe won't be able to fit all the countries/continents on well.)
