KiKi Monkey World Map in Country Names Vinyl Wall Decal for Living Room Decor

I love how it looks and how well it sticks to the folding closet doors we spruced up with this item. However, the complete lack of instructions and the disorganized piecemeal nature of the stickers made the installation a real chore. I had to scan and enlarge a picture of the whole map in order to make calculations for measuring where to place each sticker. I would up with a 1:7 ratio and had to multiply each measurement on my printout by seven and then measure that on the door to place the sticker. So painstaking.Another thing you should know. Each sticker is perforated and can be removed from the sheet it comes on, so if you cut up the sheets to make piles by continent - like I did - you will probably cut into a lot of this clear perforated border and make it more difficult to remove stickers from backing. Another thing a simple instruction page might have avoided.Here:s what to do:Unroll the sheets and weigh them down from a few days (if time allows) or roll them the opposite direction to increase their ability to lie flat.Measure the LARGE word Russia across the bottom and do the math to find out how long a space you will need for installation of the entire mural. I was forced to compress the Atlantic ocean (a little) and have the "United States" that represents Alaska cut in the middle so that the left half could go next to Russia on the right edge of my door. (As I right this it occurs to me that I could have moved Africa to the extreme left and put the Americas on the right side and intact. Oh well.)Measure carefully and start on one edge - I recommend the right side and placing New Zealand first if you are using it as shown.Keep measuring and eyeballing as you carefully work across and up.Note that many countries are attached on the sheets exactly as they should be, so check out each sticker you are going to place. Take it off and see what it entails. Carefully lay it upside-down and do you measurements, then apply it.It takes time and brain power but you can do it.At least the price is right.

This was really nice. We bought it for a team appreciation week for work. My co-worker and I put it togethet in about an hour and 1/2. It seems to stick quite well so far but is temporary for our needs. However if using for long term and taking extra care with placement and shooting down with a flat edge should last a long time. It’s not as hard to put together as some people make it sound. Put the big countries on first. Make sure they’re straight and you have enough room. Then look at how the other countries are aligned to the larger countries on the diagram and start placing from there. Very easy. Love the final look!

Very easy to put on and not much thought required. I read where others talk about scale and blah blah blah. Come on it’s a wall map. Just use the picture they provide you with the map and set it up accordingly. Don’t over think it. I have textured walls, knock down texture, so it’s thicker than most and it sticks fine. Once in awhile I’ll see a letter or two slightly coming loose so i just smooth it back out and good to go. Nothing has ever fallen. I was disappointed there was no Antarctica but a found one online that it a cutout of the actual continent. Looks great with the rest of the map. Only thing was the cutout cost twice as much as this order. But it completes it well.

Doesn't stay up very well but I got a method to keep it up longer. Second time I have bought this for my classroom. Really cool design though and I get a lot of compliments on it.

Was a little intense to put up because there are so many pieces, and the example that came with it is so tiny. Also a little aggravated that a few countries are not included-Bermuda, the Bahamas, Denmark, North or South Korea, Sri Lanka, Hawaii, Galapagos Islands, Djibouti, Netherlands, Puerto Rico, Trinidad, Barbados, The Virgin Islands...and no piece for Antarctica. Was planning to buy other maps from this seller, but will not be unless they can provide pieces to complete this one

Seriously! This is not one decal but 4 sheets of individual stickers. You have to be a master puzzle builder to get this even remotely right. There are no instructions and a very small, 4" x 3" reference picture. The individual stickers aren't even laid out in any type of logical order. A great buy if you love a major challenge. A do not buy if you wanted to decorate your office.

Did you know that at 3am it is the most creepiest thing to hear a vinyl sticker unpeeling from the wall and falling on the pillow right beside your head?

The adhesion on this thing SUCKS. It's not like a vinyl, it's more like a restickable sticker. It took 2 hours to put this thing up and less than 5 minutes for it to start peeling off the wall. And you can forget it sticking if you have any kind of air movement from a fan. The design of the map is really neat, but the product is crappy. Not worth the money.
