Orion Illuminated Globe - Black Ocean Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am very sorry to write this negative review, but wish someone had, before I bought this globe. I have one, a Replogle 12" black background world globe, which I bought at an Antiques store. I LOVE it. I wanted this one, which appears to be identical (except for updating, of course) and is illuminated. So far, so good. However, much to my dismay, this globe does not 'tilt' on it's axis! Who wants a world globe that you can't tip and tilt and explore? I don't. For $85.00 I think they should include the extra 'tilt' bar! If not, I think they should state that in the description. I am editing this review because I don't want to be too harsh on the seller. He explained, (after a bad rating) why the globe does not have the 'rotating' function. It was MY mistake, in not doing more 'research' on Illuminated globes, I guess, but I still feel it should be mentioned in the description; especially given the cost of return shipping, and restocking fee. As the seller admitted, not everyone knows all about Globes, as he does. This Globe barely left the box before I saw my mistake; and it cost me apx. $30. that's a pricey mistake.
So, if you don't know about this, do some research!

Constellation on earth. The black-ocean globe may have a heavenly appearance, but it shows the earth s expanse. The Orion s 12" sphere and antique pewter finished, solid steel base, and die cast semi-meridian make it perfect for any desktop. And just as Orion blazes in the night sky, this Orion lights at the touch of a button-a perfect feature to set a nighttime mood for a unique viewing experience.Diameter: 12" (30 cm)Height: 17" (43 cm)Weight: 4.6 lbs.
