nicollet globo

Good quality
Nicely finished

Not quite as nice as I hoped but ok for the money.

This 16" globe is beautiful whether illuminated or not. I was impressed with the quality: the lines of longitude and the borders line up nicely at the only seam, which is the equator. The wooden stand is of excellent quality and decorative. The place names are easily read and the full swing meridian style makes it easy to study all parts of the globe without going through contortions. The only problem for me is the lack of capital cities for some West Indies Island Nations, Palau, Nauru, and the small European Nations like Liechtenstein, Andorra, and Luxembourg. This is probably due to limited space which is understandable. But the amount of information and detail otherwise is superb, and as best I could tell all the other capitals and countries are included on the globe. I'm really looking for a very similar globe with all the capitals and countries listed, so I guess it will have to be much bigger.

Well pleased with 16" lighted globe. I am elderly and enjoy keeping up with countries of the world. The larger size gives more info.

Bought for my wife for her Birthday. She loves the globe and the lighted surface ! Used it every day !
