Well done!
I purchased this magnetic map with Burl frame for my husband. We’re planning our future trips while admiring where we’ve been. We’ve marked the locations of our 19 former exchange students.

Purchasers should be offered replacement maps
The map would be beautiful if not for the ink spot that blacks out Moldova. With so many reviews pointing out this flaw, why are these maps still being sent out? The company should offer a free replacement.

Ink spot.
Going to return this. Ink spot over Europe. If the spot was not there, I would definitely keep it.

Ink Spot
Could be a nice piece for the price, however ours also came with the large ink spot over Moldova. There was also a smaller area where they tried to cover up another mark. We will return and try again.

Ink spot on map - looks terrible!
We ordered and received this map 3 separate times telling Frontgate about the ink spot. To no avail. We decided to request a refund after 3 tries!

Spot on map
My map also has an ink spot on it. The spot is large (almost half an inch) and obvious.

Beware!
The FIRST map we received had an inky spot over the country of Moldova. We reordered it, the SECOND one came with the same spot. We called CS who agreed to investigate. We were advised a few weeks later that it was a manufacturing defect that was corrected. We ordered a THIRD one that we were assured would be fine and would be quality checked before shipping. It was received with the SAME DEFECT. We have decided to keep the one with the best frame condition and are returning 2. We will have to put a couple of the magnets over the spot to hide it.
We were informed that Frontgate was unable to offer us any credit or further discount on the item as it is a "signature" item, whatever that means.
We are disappointed as we expected a much better product from Frontgate.

They don't match my original magnets
I'm disappointed that these magnets don't match the original ones that came with my map. I should have just bough other random magnets elsewhere for cheaper.

Poor quality
We have purchased the world, France, and Italy magnetic maps as we are travel enthusiasts and love maps for planning our future trips. We also love having maps for our children to learn geography. All three of those maps have been decent quality. However, we ordered two Europe maps (1 as a gift) and both had problems with the frame. One frame did not have the edges mitered correctly and the entire map was warped. The other map had a frame that crumbled when we took it out of the box. We returned the maps and got replacements. Both of the replacements had nicks on the frame but we decided to live with them because returning such a large item is challenging. It is sad that 4/4 maps were defective because it is such a great product.

Beautiful
My husband has been looking for something to hang on a wall in his basement "man cave/bar" so when i saw this at the store, i immediately knew this was the perfect choice. I bought the darker framed map instead of the lighter framed one, but both were beautiful and elegant. I had texted my husband a picture but he didn't react to it but i bought this map anyway and hung it up (my husband needs to see things in place before he likes or dislikes something). When he got home and saw it, he immediately LOVED it. We have darker furniture in the man cave and the darker framed map blended perfectly. I am so happy with this purchase, and more importantly, my husband is too.

Love it!
My husband and I waffled for awhile about buying this map - would it be too big and colorful? No, it's wonderful. Size is appropriate for a travel map, and the colors are muted enough for the home. It came in great condition and ready to hang. We immediately hung it and started placing magnets, pure fun. You might want extra magnets -

Frontgate tried, 3 strikes and you're out
My husband and I purchased this for our home, with small children to show where our travels can and will take us. The first map came with the frame stapled through the front of the map, all of the frame staples were showing, and support pieces had unglued from the back of the frame. Called and customer service was great, had to pay for another one, while I got credited the 1st (stinks) but a second map was sent. 2nd Map arrived in worse condition than the 1st, broken frame and a warped map. Called again, again customer service was great, this time sent me a 3rd map and scheduled UPS to come directly to my home for pick up of 2nd. Ensured quality would check the map, and it appears they did, frame was perfect but 1 day out of the box, map warped and the support pieces on back of frame fell off. It's a beautiful map, but whatever glue they are using doesn't work. And in no way looks like you spent $200+ on it. Wish it would :(

POOR Workmanship/quality-would NOT purchase again
Received the map, frame had large gaps and did not butt up properly in the corners, the map is basically glued on to a heavy backer board, the map was bubbling up in several places as it was not glued properly. Also, the support in the back of frame had come undone because of a poor staple job. I returned it, new map came and deep scratches on the frame. Two times is unacceptable, quality control and workmanship is horrible on this particular item. Wish I had an option to add photos to this review but Frontgate does not give that as an option.

Magnets changed
Love this map which I have had for a few years. Very disappointed to find out that the size of the magnets that are now sold by Frontgate are a much larger size than previously sold for a number of years. These current magnets are really too large for this map, and they cover too much of the area/words now. I will be returning the magnets, even though a FG rep told me that they may charge me a return fee for returning them, even though they changed their product.

Map is Amazing, the New Magnets are Not
I bought the magnetic world map three years ago and have loved it, since buying multiple incremental packages for additional magnets. I ordered a new set this past spring (thrilled to see you could now order specific colors) and waited four months to receive them, during which I would receive a daily email pushing the shipment date back an additional day. I finally received the magnets and was dismayed to see that they are now significantly fatter and shorter than before. Because of the wider diameter, it makes marking the map accurately much more difficult. I wish that the vendor / product had remained the same as I planned to add to this map for many years to come. The Frontgate website still showcases the image of the original, slender and longer magnets when you go to order, which I believe should be changed if that is no longer the product on offer.
I spoke with several customer service representatives a few weeks ago who told me they would submit a work order and let me know (by a date which has since passed) whether the old magnets were at all available. I would love a follow up to my inquiry.

Two Tries: double Fail
After re-ordering due to two failed quality control issues (one wrinkle across Russia and another map that had been dented across the Pacific) we are very disappointed.
Both times we re-ordered it, it cost 13+ minutes on the phone with customer service and then repackaging a huge 33 lb map.
What a waste of time. Quality control needs major improvement.

Map is beautiful and the 20 magnets that come with it are great quality. The 50 additional magnets are cheap plastic and do not match the magnets that came with the map.

Caution
The map is very nice but seems larger than we expected. The problem is the magnets. We travel a lot, so we ordered the extra 50 to go with the 50 that are supposed to be included. We originally only received 20. After much time on backorder we got the additional 50, which are not at all the same look or quality as the originals. They will send the missing 30 when available from the manufacturer, but can give no idea (weeks, months?) when that will be. If you don't care about the magnets it's a great choice, but that was why we thought it would be fun for our family.

World Magnetic Travel Map
I was very happy with the map itself. It is beautiful! BUT...it was supposed to come with 50 magnets and it only came with 20. I had read in previous reviews that this was an issue. I also ordered extra magnets and just received an email that they are backordered. DO NOT ORDER THE PLAQUE! I was very unhappy with this! I won't even use it. It wasn't centered and was so lightly engraved you couldn't even read what it said. One of the four magnets on the back had also fallen out and was glued randomly to the back of the plaque. So to recap...Map - Happy; Magnets/Plaque - Unhappy.

Attractive home office accessory
The world magnetic travel map is a handsome accessory to my home office. It's arrival was delayed several weeks but Frontgate offered a discount for the inconvenience. The only problem compelling me to remove one star was the different size of the magnets that came with the piece and the extra set ordered at the same time. Apparently the smaller magnets are no longer available and the 2 different sizes take away from the overall attractiveness.

Cheap Imitation
I already own the magnetic Rand McNally World Map, a quality product from Frontgate. I wanted to add this map of Europe, but found it to be a huge disappointment. The coloring was poorly done, and many of the colors were off by as much as 1/4 inch. Some countries (e.g., Luxembourg) were not even separated, and German/French borders were not decipherable. This was more a novelty item than an accurate map of Europe. I would not recommend this item.

Love the map but have trouble with the magnets
We have wanted to map our travels for years and the idea of using magnets, rather than push pins, is what prompted us to purchase this product over several others on the market. We love the map itself and the frame is quite nice looking. However, we have been disappointed with the magnets. When we received our map, we received 18 magnets instead of the 50 it promises on the website. I contacted customer service and they apologized and sent a set of 50 magnets which we appreciated. However, the new magnets are half the size of the originals and do not have the same magnetic strength. While they initially stick to the map, they are more prone to falling off when touched--something that will happen as we add magnets to destinations close to existing travel sites. All in all, we are satisfied but not over-the-top happy which is why I rated the map a 4 instead of a 5.
We talked about adding a US magnetic travel map to better document our US travels but have decided we won't purchase that for 2 reasons: its size (it's as huge as the world map and we don't have adequate wall space) and the magnet issue.

Although a box of magnets comes with each map it is nice to have an extra set. This allows you to mark more things in a specific color and not run out.

Gift to grandchild.
We bought both the U.S. and World maps and had them mounted in our family room. They are very nice quality and beautifully framed. We show our 8 year old granddaughter the location of current events and teach her some geography in the process. Good refresher for grandpa and grandma too.

If there is no glass that protects the parchment-style paper, what prevents the map from getting creased/discolored/worn?
