Da Vinci"Blue Dust""Made in Italy" Bar Globe with Certificate of Authenticity

Quality drinks globe and looks amazing, unfortunately I had to return the first one as it arrived damaged

As always when buying on 'The Net'...I was a touch apprehensive when placing my order as I don't have £160.00 to throw away. Needn't have worried though, the globe is of far better quality than I thought it would be. However, if you buy one, have a few extra washer to hand, it comes with a bare minimum and when fixing the north south axis screws two more washers help on the top hemisphere mounting [ makes it a far better fit]If I have any crit' to make, it would be the wire bottle rack on the base shelf...it's cheap and tacky. I intend making one out of thin plywood, stain & varnish to match as soon as I have an hour to spare.....or an I being too fussy?Given the above, I still rate this item a 5*

Just a bit on the small side

The media could not be loaded. First order was faulty as there were ink stains in the print of the design. So I returned and ordered new one 2 days ago. Today my son received new globe even with worse ink stains. So so disappointed. Also it will take time to receive both refunds as I wasn't able to replace first!!! PLEASE AVOID!!!!

The globe was easy to assemble all you needed was a screwdriver. Just the right size for me and my husband, looks lovely in our lounge at the end of our sideboard. Colours are perfect, a little darker than the puctures but is still amazing.

Absolutely gorgeous. But....You can get in 3 other colours for 100 pound less. For the price I would have thought it would have been assembled.The assemble would have been alot easier, if all the piece arrived.One of the screws for the legs was missing, and the 2 bolts for the top cabinet hinge where too big to screw on, with the leg in the way.I'm worried about the sturdiness because it has no bolts holding the screws for cabinet in place.

Its cute, but not a lot of use. Its too small to put bottles inside the globe around the edge, as the lid won't shut, so you are left with putting bottles in the hole in the middle; this will only take two bottles, so your bottle storage is the bottom shelf. The glass storage? Wineglasses wont go in (too tall), spirit tumblers won't go in (the slots are too narrow). The materials are listed as "Wood & Glass", its actually wood (legs) and MDF (all the rest). Bit of a white elephant!

Looks really pretty and holds a decent number of bottles and glasses. Well made and well packed. A quality product!
