Globes

We're happy with our globe. The wrought iron stand is nice, and the globe spins smoothly inside it. The globe seems to be of good quality with up-to-date territory lines... there are a few minor details that add to the antique look of the globe -- the design of the legend and pictures of a few small historic ships on the waters (the pictures are discreet, though -- not noticeable at first glance). I don't have anything negative to say, except that I couldn't find the model number of the globe on the box, which I was supposed to write on the warranty so that if we want to update the globe in a few years, we'd know which one we started with."..."  Read more

I've been wanting to get a quality globe for a long time, I never could find what I consider quality in stores. I never thought to look online for a globe, glad I did now. This globe is quality made in every way, a whole lot better than I expected. I figured the base might be made of a cheap pressed wood, it is not, it is a good heavy wood base, but I'm not sure what kind of wood. It is very sturdy, I didn't expect that either. I like the fact that there is nothing obstructing the view of the globe, everything is very easy to see and it rotates universally, I like that feature. From the time I put my order in to the time it was in my living room was less that 48 hours. I doubt very much a better globe for this price can be found, or even a much higher price. I like high quality stuff. The online picture does not do this product justice, they should try and improve the picture, the real thing is much better looking."..."  Read more

Had an old antique globe from the 40's that got broken during a move. Saw the Northwoods World Globe while googling for a replacement and ordered it because of price and appearance. Just love it, looks like it cost double what we paid[...]. Thanks Wayfair."..."  Read more

Very nice globe overall, but the pieces that articulate the globe and the stand are cheap, unattractive plastic - if the plastic pieces are not used, the globe does not fit snugly in the stand."
