BAD PRODUCT!!!!:
I am an avid cube fan. They're great. There's no better way to challenge the mind, unwind, or just impress the pants of any passers-by. I've been using the 5x5 for a couple of years, and as far as this version goes, it is extremely disappointing. The quality is severely lacking. The stickers fall off in a good week of use. The cube is stiff and doesn't want to rotate easily (no finger tricks). And if you push it too much or too fast, it will fall apart (pieces all over the floor!). If you are... more info
Rubik's Cube Review:
I purchased this item as a gift for my 20 year old grandson who is in Brazil. He told me he wanted one so that's the reson I purchased it. I think he wanted it because it would be a challange to solve.
Shoddy Construction:
Puzzle is interesting but shoddy construction makes it less useful than it should be. Instead of enamel paint, the cubes surfaces are covered with tape stickers that loose their adhesion rapidly. The interior plastic ribs holding the cube together broke within a month. I had only solved the puzzle twice at that point and the solution pattern (the interesting part) was still partially unclear.
I'm a semi hardcore cuber/speed cuber:
For average playing and having fun solving this, it's fairly good. However if your a speed cuber and require speed or durability, I recommend lubing this cube, and replacing the stickers with tiled stickers as they don't fall out as much.
