I don't know why Amazon can't put the actual and true size of this map on the site. Is it really THAT HARD? I couldn't figure out what the size of this thing was and the 31.5" size indication with other ridiculous numbers is the height - so beware this thing is BIG. approx. 60" wide and 32" tall. Besides the size problem the map looks faintly printed and feels really cheap in general. It's not what I would call "laminated" more like "coated with a nano layer of plastic". Also, the slightest accidental bending while handling this huge map will likely leave a permanent crease or wrinkle in the map. Returned!
