Review directed to those who have concerns based on other reviews
First I want to say this is a longer review...sorry but I love this map and this is a very honest review directed to those who have concerns based on other reviews. I was missing OK at first but I contacted seller and they sent it to me with no problem at all.<br /><br />I ordered the larger size of this map. I read reviews and was a little skeptical because people complained a lot BUT the people who are complaining clearly did not read the description.<br /><br />Yes the wood is thin, the description says that, but it makes it lighter overall to hang up especially if you attach them to a backboard to hang up.<br /><br />No, it does not come with a backboard. The seller just has a picture like that to show you cool ways you can hang it. It also states in the description that it is JUST the individual states cut out.<br /><br />The quality of the cutting is GREAT! There is so much detail on the shapes of each state, you can tell they put in effort to make each state look great!<br /><br />To the people complaining about how small the northeast states are and that Texas is too big to attach your 4x6 photo to...what did you expect? Not all states are the same size and this map is cut pretty well to reflect the actual sizes of the states compared to one another. Texas is HUGE, we all know that and sorry but some states are pretty tiny in comparison. If you expect them to all be the same size they will not fit together because that's not how the USA is designed.<br /><br />I have not hung it up yet but plan to get a backboard for it and get sticky velcro dots to attach the states to it so they can be easily removed and reattached when I need to add photos. This will help to make things so much easier. This also solves the problem that some people say where "there's no easy way to hang them"......yes there is, you just have to be creative and stop being crabby about it lol<br /><br />Keep your mind open and see how great the product really is. It looks awesome, fits description given, and is worth the cost. 😀
