I love the wood cube. But, they are not perfect right out of the box. You have to lube it and work it a while to loosen it up. I used the lube from [...] and it worked great. Also, I wasn't crazy about the stickers so I replaced them. I used the sticker removal tool from [...] and put on some better stickers. Now my cube is in good shape. One of the pros is that it is quieter than a plastic cube. Plastic cubes can be noisy because the pieces are hollow. The cubbies are solid wood on this one and it reduces the noise.

This is a collector's cube. It doesn't move as fluidly as it's plastic cousin. Transparent labels show off the grain but leave the red and orange sides with an identity crisis. And the wood tolerance is a mm or so off.

Man, my collector's Rubik's Cube made from some tree is totally AWESOME! Seriously, it'd worth the price.

The 30th Anniversary Rubik's cube is very tight and almost difficult to rotate (especially if you compare it to a 'speed cube'. That is not a bad thing as tight cubes always loosen up with use. The wooden cube seems to be well constructed. I am dissappointed however in that the 30th anniversary cube's sides are colored via stickons. For some reason I assumed the wooden cube's sides would be painted. The anniversary cube even came with replacement stickon sheets. If the developer expected the stickons to last, I doubt replacement stickons would have been provided. If the 30th anniversary cube did not use stickons, I would rate the cube all fives.
