Okay, it's a world map, what is there to write about? Well, I'm writing this review anyway because I like the brown color theme and the fact that in each corner lives an unimposing map of one of the polar regions, world population density, or vegetation, which is kind of cool. I like to look at the map when I'm following world events, and other times it's good for just straight up entertainment. I was afraid it would make my apartment look like a college dorm room, but I picked up a 24x36 MainStays poster frame at Wal-Mart for $15 and now it looks good in my living room. Besides the dork factor of having a world map in general, I'm happy with it!

I hang the map in one of my bedrooms and I feel:
Pros:
1. clear printing
2. comfortable size and scale
3. considerate additional information presented at four corners.
Cons:
1. Thin sheet, feels like a simple color-printing on a piece of regular paper.
Therefore, I have no feeling of elegancy or nobility, no feeling of a piece of art, rather, feels like a duplicate. This Map is good to be placed in a college dorm. If you wanna use it as a serious wall decoration in any room of your own house, I honestly tell you, it is not there yet, not yet....

The Old World styling perfectly suited the decorating vision in my head, the level of contemporary geographical accuracy keeps me from getting twitchy when I use it as a map rather than mere wall art.

I ordered this map recently for my room. I like the vintage color, and the fact that it has the names of many places written legibly. The map looks just as it does in the picture, so no complaints there. The only reason I give this 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the way it was packaged. While I knew that the map wasn't laminated based on the description, the map (which came in a cardboard tube that kept it from being crushed) the map itself had a piece of brown paper taped around it. While I appreciated the extra effort, the tape was actually taped to the map, so when I unrolled it (carefully!) I ripped the brand new map. I'll probably still keep it, but now I have a rip on one side :(.

I bought this map to hang in my office. I liked the antique look, however the overly large National Geographic label is front and center and even more brightly colored than the rest of the map so it really stands out. The picture on Amazon did not accurately reflect that. This is one of those items that I would not have purchased if I had seen it in person first.

This was exactly what I was hoping for. A current map with an antique look.
Perfect for a home office. Bought it as a gift!

I was very pleased with the packaging and the quality of the map. The paper is heavy grade to last. Great size for my purpose. I had it framed and I will pick it up today. I was also pleased with the delivery time.

This map arrived quickly and in good shape. The tube kept it from being beat up in shipping. The map has great deatiling and a nice, soft, pale parchment background. We were impressed with the quality. Great value.
