1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing ..., September 17, 2008

The construction on this is very disappointing ... The stickers are irregular and lumpy. Whats the point of an attractive neutral-color cube if its made like crap? Is a little workmanship too much to ask for nowadays?

This cube could have been pretty cool, but it's not. There are 6 sides to a Rubik's cube, so making 6 shades of gray is easy. In percentage of black, it would be as follows: 0% (white), 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% (black). Instead, what they used were: 0% (white) 40%, 50%, 60%, 100% (black) and silver. I have no idea why. It makes the gray sides difficult to distinquish, which does not make it more challenging to solve... just irritating.

I bought this cube and found it to be quite smooth in turning. I have no problem with the colors (there's a black side and two dark gray sides that are similar). They are hard to differentiate if the lighting is dim, but otherwise I found no problem. Some people said they had problems with the stickers but I have not found that to be the case.
I think the color difference makes this cube a little more challenging, if for no other reason that I'm not used to it the same as I am with my original. If you like the classic cube, I definitely recommend this.
