It's exactly what I was looking for, but sadly as it's been hanging for a few days it seems to be settling.  The bottom half is kind of ripply and as the days go on it's quite noticeable (my husband noticed and he doesn't notice anything).  I already threw the very large box it came in away so I'll be stuck with it. For $200, just not worth it now that it's rippling. The world map is nice though.
