Is this globe itself plastic?

No, not plastic. Regular globes are actually made of multiple layers of card stock and paper (and glue, lots of glue). You can see how they're made here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azjK5i2hNWg

The sphere is made of a tough cardboard material (similar to most globes). And, after looking at it more closely, the base may be made out of some kind of aluminum or tin material rather than all plastic. Either way, it seems sturdy. I haven't had any problems with the globe yet with my small children handling it. Hope that helps.

it is sturdy and not heavy, but it's not light ether. The material for the supporting parts are definitely wood, the globe itself - I am not sure, might be wood.

Hi Nana, yup it's entirely plastic. It's a tough durable plastic though. I like it it's a nice toy replica. It's about 6inches long and 2 inches tall. Approx. It definitely makes a nice gift I'll admit. :)

Hi, no I don't believe so, it feels like plastic. But so far it seems fine, I was surprised that it wasn't glass, but it seems to be ok.

Yes, it is plastic but is pretty sturdy. And it is pretty securely held on the tile with the Command mounting materials.

It is NOT plastic. Whether it's chrome or another kind of metal, I don't know, but it is metal and quite sturdy.

Apart from globe, which is plastic(strong), everything else is wooden. It is sturdy but still light enough to move around easily.

The globe itself is maybe thin particle board. The decals line up and look very nice, inside and out. The lid stays open if it's opened all the way up

Yes, it's plastic. It seems robust enough and it's light enough to easily pack and take traveling. However, I was just away for 10 days and it never needed recharging within that time.

Not sure, I think it is. It is very durable and solid so I don't think its plastic.

Yes, It is 100 % stainless steel. The handle is wooden & the globe is glass. There are some that have a rubber handle & plastic globe. Good Luck!!!

Nope. Plastic. But durable enough. I am using several of them in different locations.... great features for price.
