In short, I bought it for the living room to allow my child a vivid idea of our planet and together have a visual object. Secondly, as a geographical zero myself want, just like that for me, sometimes quickly find plane orientation having to wallow without atlases. Third: So a globe is pretty to look at, also adjusts the lighting. Fourth, no harm if one is reminded every now and then by the sight of it, what Fliegenschiss my region is in this world after all. That puts so much.
I am very happy, even if the material thickness in particular of the foot and the support is not very robust. For the price, however, is great! We good care of it.
A good buy.
