Examples
All 1-dimensional polyhedral spaces are just metric graphs. A good source of 2-dimensional examples constitute triangulations of 2-dimensional surfaces. The surface of a convex polyhedron in is a 2-dimensional polyhedral space.
Any PL-manifold (which is essentially the same as a simplicial manifold, just with some technical assumptions for convenience) is an example of a polyhedral space. In fact, one can consider pseudomanifolds, although it makes more sense to restrict the attention to normal pseudomanifolds.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.”
—Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
