This is an excellent buy! put together very well. Oh, the globe is not made of Ivory. It is illegal to import into the US. Overstock would not sell it. The ivory refers to the base color.

its small but a good piece to have around. Not a focal point piece though.

We bought this as a gift, and it is so beautiful that my wife has now ordered one for her office, another for our home, and another to use as a gift for another friend. It is simply beautiful.

This has been purchased as a gift for my well traveled Sister and her Husband, they have money so are difficult for me to buy for. I feel confidant that they will enjoy displaying this globe for years to come. It will fit in any decor and is small enough for the coffee table so they can give an excellent visual of where they have been and are going. This is a beautiful item and some day I may buy one for myself

I bought this as a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it.

My wife had been wanting globe for some time. I found this one on Overstock and thought it was a great deal, and I was just hoping that the quality would be good. I was very impressed with the globe and so was my wife. It is the centerpiece of our coffee table. No regrets here.

This globe is a very nice decorative item. It is a bit lighter than I expected it to be and looks a little smaller than I expected, HOWEVER, It is still nicely crafted and a wonderful piece. I gave this as a gift to my husband and he really liked it. The compass was definitely a wonderful added touch. I expected the printed names to be a little more refined than they were, instead they look a little slapped on. Not so bad unless you're looking at it very closely. Right now it looks fantastic sitting on our bookshelves. It is definitely worth it's price. It's difficult to come across well priced globes, and this one was only $** more than a paper/cardboard version at *** that was rather flimsy when I went to look at it, AND a lot smaller. So in that regard I am extremely pleased with THIS purchase

Without doubt, the most beautiful piece of decor in my house, and I have beautiful things in my home. It's just something special...

The product was exactly what I ordered, very reasonably priced, and was shipped without damage. I purchased the globe as a gift for my fiancé and he loved it. I was originally worried about the stand looking cheap, but it's very nice and very resistant to scratches. Also, I'm not sure if this was in the product description-- I'm sure it was-- but there is a working compass just below the globe! Overall, great product, great service, and excellent shipping.

It would be wonderful if you would list what stones represent the various countries..Other than that the globe is an interesting and visual addition to our study..Thanks once again for a wonderful buy!!!

This gemstone globe is very pretty -- but much smaller than I was expecting. I'd still recommend it, but I did need to find a different location to place it than I'd first thought.

Outstanding piece of art, great addition to your personal desk.

This globe is more beautiful than anticipated. I have it in my office and everyone who sees it comments on how beautiful and unique it is. I would definitely buy it again and as a gift.

I ordered this for a partner of a law firm for whom I work. She can afford anything and everything on her own, so I was looking for something that would look nice with the color scheme in her office and that would "look" expensive. She is rather snooty and still managed to seem to like this. She was impressed when I told her about the various countries being made of gemstones. The only downside is that it does not come with info about the gemstones nor an outline of which country is which stone. That would greatly improve the Wow factor of this gift. I highly recommend for the person who has everything (or not) or for a gift that looks like it broke your bank but actually is VERY reasonably priced.

I have been looking at these globes for quite a while, Sometimes outside the country. They have always been priced much higher. I was thrilled to receive this product and it was as nice if not nicer than expected.

Vey pretty and unique piece of art, besides being a learning tool about the geography around the world. The Ivory waters really pop next to the Brass holder. The gemstones picked for this are pretty. It is large enough to see what you are looking for, yet small enough to keep on your coffee table or desk. It has a working compass at the base of the holder, always fun for the kids to play with.

This was a Christmas present for my husband. I was thrilled with it and so was he. The description was exact. It is an extremely beautiful piece. Well worth the money and then some. I have been a loyal customer of Overstock's for a couple of years and will continue to be, Thanks for the great deals.
