I wanted a map of the world on a corkboard so that I could stick pins into the countries I've visited and show off to my friends and family about how cool and well travelled I am.
This pinboard and map was absolutely perfect and looks great on my wall. When my friends and family visit, they all stare in amazement and ask me questions about the countries I've visited and how this makes me so much better than them.
It was very easy to hang, just like a normal painting or picture and because it's a corkboard, it's lightweight. Because I am such a well travelled person, it didn't come with enough flag pins, however I bought a load of coloured drawing pins from the local supermarket and they work just as well.
In all seriousness, as well as looking good in a house, this would work very well in a classroom or as a teaching aid as it's a good size and the countries are clearly marked.
In conclusion, this is a great addition to my house and it's well worth the money. It arrived very quickly and because it was packaged very well and safely, there were no scuffs or problems with the frame or poster.
