Description
With its stylish retro flair, the Starlight 12-inch Diam. Tabletop Globe adds a distinctive touch to any desk or tabletop. In vintage 50s style, vibrant pop-art colors distinguish countries, regions, individual U.S. states, and other current political borders, and form a striking contrast to the black oceans. The globe also features a gyromatic die-cast meridian for fluid movement and easy location, and is set on a sturdy metal base. Both meridian and base are finished in chrome for an added touch of sophistication. Meanwhile, detailed and accurate map denotations and raised-relief geographic features make the Starlight as functional as it is attractive.

A Very Beautiful Globe

I'll admit that I am "Geographically Challenged." In High School, I was able to substitute Home Economics for Geography. I did. The result? I can make a mean Snickerdoodle, but know very little about the different locales of this big, wonderufl world. This gorgeous globe now sits on my desk so I can look up areas that appear on the news or come up in conversations.
Many people who have stopped by my office have commented on how cool it is, and I have to agree.
I am truly pleased with this purchase.

Minor indentations visible in oceans; other than that exactly what I was expecting. Very round! Great retro style.

Comments about Replogle Starlight 12-inch Diam. Tabletop Globe:
The globe is beautiful and I thought at first glance it. was in perfect condition. But when it was opened as a gift it was noticed the base pin was slightly damaged. I called Hayneedle and they are sending a replacment globe immediately. I choose the globe for the black oceans, loving the contrast between the continents and the oceans.
The man I spoke with at customer service did an excellent job addressing and solving the problem with globe. All was handled very quickly. Thank you.

Comments about Replogle Starlight 12-inch Diam. Tabletop Globe:
Bought this globe for our home now that our daughter is three. She surprisingly is more interested in it that I anticipated. We talk about familiar locations she knows (home, where Grandma and Grandpa live, our recent trips, where cousins live, etc.)
Very easy to see with the contrasting black oceans.
Nice metal base/frame; it feels sturdy. I like that we can both rotate the globe and tip up the bottom (or tip the top down) for easier viewing!
In a very few places the seams don't quite match up, but it's not a huge deal. This is why I gave it a four.
Globe arrived BEFORE specified time! THANKS!
