I like the size and metal material and it was very easy to put together. But I think the price was too much for this item and I don't like how the middle seam looks once put together.
I was disappointed with this item. I am not the first owner of this item. The metal piece that represents Ireland was cut or torn in previous handling. It seems that someone took a "hole-punch" to the country of Hungary (noticeable flaw). I am a frequent Overstock customer, but this item is over-priced. "Student" quality.
My husbands office is done in the Old World theme and this piece of art work was a one of a kind. A little on the expensive side for what you get but he is happy with the over all look.
1) This piece looks like it should be sturdy but is actually flimsy in places. 2) It was impossible to line up the two halves precisley, so is and looks slightly misaligned. 3) Hanging it up was not as easy as it should have been and the directions were incorrect. 4) I'm ok with the purchase, it's what I wanted, but it's not perfect.
The map looks nice once its up. Putting it up was terrible. First off, immediately throw away the directions, they are worthless. I unfortunately followed the directions and ended up with many extra holes in my wall. Also the middle screw hole is so weird. I didn't put the screw in it because it looks too weird.
This came exactly as described. I love the coloring and it looks wonderful in our office. The one very minor problem that came up was when hanging. The holes for the nails to be placed in are the exact size of the nail head. It was a tight fit and a little messing around to get everything lined up perfectly. (Maybe a max of 2 minutes, so nothing major by any means.) It's well worth the $ and is a sturdy piece of art. Really do love it.
This is a great classic peice, but, fits any decor since it's metal!! We prefer contemporary decor and this looks great in our office; traditional, yet, modern! Easy to hang, quality is great, Price is great for the size of art!
Good product overall. Obviously, the continents aren't exactly a perfect replica in true shape, but close enough for something to be veiwed on the wall. My biggest complain is that one of the hanging hinges/hooks is visible and the screw can be seen from the wall. If this product were to be produced in the future, I would recommend that both hinges be hidden out of sight. Assembly took about two minutes. The alignment isn't perfect and I had to use a litle muscle strength to match the second set of holes before inserting the screws. This wasn't really a problem for me, but may cause some frustration for older folks or petite women.
