I recently received my globe. It is very beautiful the colors are very rich; however I am very disappointed that the Canadian provinces are not named. What is the reason for that? Canada shares a border with the United States. I feel that for the cost of the globe those names should be included.

I bought this globe as a Christmas gift for my friends this year who travel a lot. All I know at this point in time, since it's only been a few days, is that they loved it and thought it was beautiful! They couldn't believe how nice it was and were thrilled with it. She commented that I must have spent way too much money on them. Other sites charge much more for the same size globe. Her favorite stone is blue lapis which is why I chose the ocean background of that stone. Both she and her husband were excited to explore the globe and plan their next adventure! Before I gave it to them, I had opened the box to make sure it was ok and marveled at how big the globe was. I thought to myself, hope it's not too big to go in their living room! I've read in other reviews that there are sometimes mistakes in the spelling of some names but it's too soon to have gotten any feedback from them. When I do, I'll update this review. For now, they're happy campers! I also think that, in the future, I probably will buy another one, maybe in a smaller size, to give to someone else!

I bought this globe for my husband for Christmas. He loves it. It is very well made and the colors are very vibrant. The quality is amazing and it was a lot larger than I had expected.
