Was bought for someone else, but, as far as I can remember, the base and meridian are light weight metal

Yes there is. I can't tell you how it looks illuminated. I was very unhappy with the quality of the arm on the globe for the price. It is made from plastic and looks like plastic. So I put it right back into the box and returned it.

The poles and crosspoles are metal, yes. They're not really all THAT tall (maybe 8 feet depending on how deep you anchor them) so I'd think you've got taller stuff around than that.

The base is not metal. It is heavy but very well could be plastic with sand.

Yes it does, You can't see it in the picture but it does on the revolving metal piece

This globe is wonderful!!! I'm not sure about the place names, I assume so. It's great quality as well.

Yes they are metal. They aren't a thick coin or very heavy but they are metal.

No -- all metal (except cuffs for casters). It's strong, but also a bit taller and larger than most.

No there is no metal stake. It is made to balance on the base. It has a flat area on the bottom.

Yes, the outer ring is metal and the rest is plastic. Great Value! My child loves it.

They only sell the round base, not the pole. I don't know why anyone would want just the base or why they are allowed (on Amazon) to sell it phrased the way it is (misleadingly) but the answer is no, they do not sell the metal pole. I returned my round base for a full refund from Amazon.

yes, very inexpensive metal with some kind of paint or covering on it. it looks nice, but can be scraped off if you're not careful

No. Though there are screws on the bottom, I would not risk water getting into the globe to damage it internally.

It says Made in USA on the map surface. That's good, but don't be fooled by the brassy looking base/equator piece. It's a painted metal. The globe itself is OK, but the whole piece is not a nice piece of furniture.

I'm sorry but I don't know. This globe was purchased several years ago as a gift.

No. The Lismore crystal I bought doesn't have any metal - it is all cut crystal. I believe anything with a metal rim is under the "platinum collection" line.

Yes, all metal -- or at least they were about 12-15 years ago when I bought mine. I would assume they're still metal. Plastic just wouldn't be strong enough. My Stroboframe is still working like new after over a decade of use.
