Great map
This is a great world map. It is nicely framed and pins go into the board well. Looks exactly like it does in the picture.

Perfect for the office
I bought this to hang in my office and it looks great! I don't think I will use the flags bc I don't want to make holes in the map and regret it! Frame appears to be a slate gray which I love but I thought it would help a few others in choosing this product!

World Map
I don't normally write reviews (good or bad) but I was so impressed with this piece that I fealt compelled to write a review on it. I just got this map and I LOVE it! For the price I expected less quality and was pleasantly surprised at how well made this map is. It looks just like the picture. I would agree that the flags leave sizeable holes and it wouldn't be wise to move them around a lot.

Overall, it's a good map
I really do like this map, though it's not exactly what I thought I was ordering. It's a good quality with attractive colors and a pretty silver frame (not birch or pine as stated). It's a great price, which I appreciate and it arrived in perfect condition. My only problem with this map is its use of abbreviations. If you are going to use it for educational purposes, choose a different map. This may be common in world maps now, but I've never seen such liberties taken with abbreviations. Some examples are B for Brussels, AFG for Afghanistan, A for Austria. H for Hungary. There are some I couldn't even figure out. I wanted a world map because I like the way they look, but also I wanted to educate myself. With this map, it's like a trivia game just to figure out which country is which, but overall I would recommend this map to others.

Nice Addition!
My Wife purchased this map so I could mark my travels over the last 40 years. It's just the right size and mounted nicely for wall hanging. It arrived very quickly and in perfect codition. I would recommend this item to anyone looking to do general world markings of their travels.

Great Gift
I purchased this for my husband's office, its was perfect. It came beautifully packages, of course. The back of the frame is cork so could be used both ways if needed. The flags are a cute touch, moving them around a lot would noticeably damage the map though. Only give it 4 stars because the frame is a unstained pine, and not what described.

Satisfied customer
I saw this item in the travel section of the Sunday paper and ordered it that day as a Valentine gift for my husband. It came in two days and was as promised. I was very happy to see South Sudan on the map. As other reviewers noted, the supply of flags is paltry and I have no idea where to get more. If it weren't for that, I would give this product a full start rating, particularly for its low cost and free shipping.

Nice, but not as described
I like this map, but it's not as described. The frame is silver, not dark stained pine. Also, the pins included look like they would leave quite large holes, so they're probably not for using if you wanted to move them around.
