Don't plan to repaint your wall or move the map once installed.
This is a fantastic product. The map pieces are numbered and packaged very securely.  Country and state names are cut cleanly and easy to read. The adhesive tape provided holds the pieces securely to the wall.  Most of all, it looks fantastic in my office!<br />I found it easier to assemble by first defining the area I wanted the map to occupy. Next I mounted the large countries/continents.  Lastly I filled in the small islands.  I think laying it out on the floor would have made assembly more difficult.<br />Some of the smaller pieces had some splintering on the edges, so I used a black marker to touch up the paint.
