I bought this map to post in our homeschool room for reference. I'm quite satisfied with my purchase. It came rolled in a tube, so there were no creases. The paper is thin, but because it's light, it stays on the wall quite well. (I use putty.) It's large enough that you can make out the individual countries in Europe. And it has quite a bit of detail as far as cities, rivers, and lakes. I like that the fonts and sizes of the type clearly show what are continents, what are countries, and what are cities. That's important for young learners.
