I am thrilled with my purchase !  So much so, the very next day of receiving my Map, I purchased another one for my niece as a housewarming gift. I am looking forward to hearing her excitement upon receiving her Map.  I chose the wider edge hoping to create a shadow between each piece .. it worked beautifully. I hung mine over my dining room buffet and keep staring at how great it looks.  Am anxious to find some gold pins to map out everywhere I've traveled over the years.
