Nice globe, but the bulb went out after about four uses. No instructions on how to change it, so we looked it up on you tube. It wasn’t easy or obvious. Still, the kids like it. Not sure how durable it is.. Rhonda. Littleton, CO. Thu Apr 02 2026

This is a beautiful globe and wonderful conversation and learning piece. I assembled the globe upon arrival and plugged it in to find out it didn’t light up. I removed the light bulb to find out the light bulb that was installed was the wrong one (it didn’t screw in all the way so wouldn’t light up). I went to the store and got the correct one and it worked perfectly. A bit disappointing for an incorrect light bulb installed on this piece especially considering the overall cost.. Kacy.
