The product itself is cool. (the background is dark brown- not black) It only gets 4 stars from us because the mounts to hang the pieces were placed so close to the top that any hook you used would show above the map itself. We had to detach all the mounts and reaffix them lower in order to leave space for hooks. It adds at least and extra half hour to the time to hang them and would have been unnecessary if they were placed correctly from the beginning.
