Review: Conversation starter - I have had this globe on my desk for almost 3 years now and it's still just spinning and spinning! They may seem a little pricey but in my case it is well worth the cost. It's easy to read and the colors are vibrant. Given it's non-stop use for 3 years i think it's fair to say that it is of exceptional quality. I have purchased another one for my dining table at home. People stop by my desk at work all the time asking "how the heck does that thing work!?"
Review: Most Interesting Globes In Our Collection Of Globes We've Bought All Around The World. - These are the coolest globes I've ever seem. It's really cool looking and works off the light above the curio cabinet that these are located in. No batteries required at all. We have a blue one as well that's larger that we payed way too much for from a specialty shop in Austin, Texas. It's really cool as well. I like the size of the blue one, but prefer the antique color of this model. It's also interesting to see the other planets that are available. In our office, we have a collection of globes we have purchased from around the world. There are about fifteen different ones in the cabinet that is halogen lit with two light on tracks in the corner of the front of the cabinet hidden out of sight. It has four shelves and ten very small halogen bulbs that light the cabinet up very nicely. The most expensive globe we have is worth about $2,500 because of precious stones inlayed into it all over each continent. It's very nice. People are drawn to this globe and the larger one that is blue first. They are fascinated to learn how these appear to be "magically" floating of as if their should be a cord coming from the base somewhere.

*by T***Y on March 11, 2019*

I love this globe. It gracefully turns all day and at night when a light is on, and stops turning in the dark, which I guess saves the battery or whatever it is that makes it turn. It is a real conversation piece, and the color looks lovely in our home with traditional furnishings. It was a bit expensive, but worth the price for this truly unique treasure.
