Comments about World Political Map (Earth-toned), Mural:
I hung this for a client & the final job looked amazing! (clients words as well as mine)!! Any visitors to his house comment on how good it looks.
The only downside was no adhesive was sent with the mural so we had to trial & error different adhesives to get one tht worked. (Nat Geo you're missing out on extra money, send & charge for the adhesive)!!!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about World Political Map (Earth-toned), Mural:
Delivery was fast. I think I paid about $30 total for primer and the wallpaper adhesive needed. I used my own paint rollers and materials.
It took me (once the primer had dried) about 45 minutes to hang. It is definitely a two person job. I had issues lining up at times but that is only because my wall is imperfect. Once placed it stayed up.
It looks wonderful! Instead of TV one can just sit and marvel at the world. Completely worth the price.
My only complaint is that one panel has richer color when compared to the one next to it. It was obviously printed at a different time or in a different way. However, this is noticeable but not enough to bother me.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I love maps
Pros
- Great Printing Quality
Cons
- It Comes A Little Wrinkle
Best Uses
- Skill Enhancement
Comments about World Political Map (Earth-toned), Mural:
The quality is fantastic, it is a shame it has to come splitted in three, because then it is hard to put it together. Bad system of way the pack it, since it arrives quite wrinkled. Once you put your effort in to getting the three pieces together with everything it requires, it becomes an awesome way to decorate your wall!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about World Political Map (Earth-toned), Mural:
I always wanted a HUGE wall map! Now I have one! It's beautiful and BIG! I had a little trouble with getting it correctly lined up together (as it comes in 3 pieces) and sticking it to the wall. Directions were helpful, but it was my first time trying this. It was a great buy, quality product! It is also a huge conversation piece with friends and guests!

Comments about World Political Map (Earth-toned), Mural:
I got this for my husband for Christmas! I read previous reviews and was delighted that my experience was equally as pleasing. We hung this map as a wallpaper/mural on a wall as our center focal piece. It was not difficult at all to hang with simple wallpaper adhesive. You will need a couple of extra hands to make sure the country names, etc are lined up properly! We are absolutely amazed at how this map transformed our family room into a "map room" inspiring travel and curiousity with everyone that experiences it. I'm so glad that I took a leap of faith and chose this large wall mural over the smaller more expensive wall maps offered. We are immensely pleased with the quality and overall appearance of this map!
