Takes Our Breath Every Time We Enter the Room
We would leave this 10 stars if we could.  This is a very high quality product - we love the wood, the color, the feel, and the look.  The product came weeks in advance and was packaged with care and thought.  We put it on the living room wall as the accent piece. The instructions were intuitive, but a little vague.  Though we got the XL and followed the XL dimension instructions, the Americas were a little too far away from the &#34;Old World.&#34;  Instead, we thought of other creative ways to fill the void and it looks great.  It just looks homey, quality, fresh, awesome, classy, and makes the living room space look bigger.  If you are wondering between a larger or smaller size, definitely do larger.<br /><br />The tape behind it was a little difficult to separate, but holds on perfectly to the wall - so much that's nearly impossible to take off.  Kids had a great time doing it - took about 2 hours for the whole project.  If there's anything to complain about, it would be that for perfectionists, the directions could have more detail to ensure the spacing of the continents and islands are accurate.  But overall, you can't really tell and it looks so good, no one will care!
