The globe makes my 5 year old son and me a lot of joy. Since the foot is actually not of the highest quality, you should not let the world fall off somewhere. Of course, a globe is not a toy, but children can be explained so well that you'd better be careful with certain things. When you turn on the good thing, is a great place to recognize the individual countries on the basis of different color schemes. This boy is (even without reading to master) already in a position to make certain countries identify (eg. Where the 2014 World Cup takes place). For adults the globe is also well suited to fill existing knowledge gaps. For the price you can not expect quality masterpiece, but we are quite happy with the world and recommend it to others.
