Summary: 4 Stars
Item seems to be reasonably precise on constellation location. And it's covered with see-thru clear plastic which protects from dirts, dust, and fingerprints or so. With its notched shape, it's easy to rotate. These are good points for this.
However, I have noticed that there's no mark for famous nebulae such as M1(crab nebula which should be in the constellation Taurus), M16(Eagle nebulae in constellation Serpens Cauda; this is where the famous iconic picture, Pillars of Creation, was taken by Hubble ST), and M57(Ring nebulae in Lyra). All these were missing in the planisphere.
I saw some other Messier objects like m5 m13 m8 but those important/famous ones were not there. The only reason I could think of not being there is that thoses were less bright ones compare to others on it.
Overall, it's not too bad , yet, with a little more detailed information on it(I saw empty area which could be used for adding more info), this planisphere could have been execellent one.
