I have found that there are varying qualities of Rubik's Cubes out there- some have stickers practically peeling off right out of the box and others feel like they are built to last a while. This particular Cube, the 25th Anniversary one, seems pretty close to the original to me. The stickers stay on really well, it turns a bit stiffly at first and then loosens up with use, which is good, and it feels fairly durable.

As far as Rubik's Cubes go, the 25th Anniversary one seems to be a pretty good quality.

The mechanism of this cube is smooth and quiet. My main complaint is in regards to the stickers that have apparently replaced previously existing technology (vinyl coating or such) - 10-15 years ago. I've used the item for a couple of weeks (moderate usage) and the color stickers are now starting to come off. Not like a bit of Crazy Glue couldn't fix it but I'm not sure if that is how it supposed to be...On a second thought, how much can you expect from a $[...] toy?

I purchased this rubiks cube for my 16 year old daughter to take along camping in case she got bored. It was a great hit with everyone, although we still have not solved it. Seems to be made well, as it has gotten alot of use and still looks new.
I would buy again as it would be a great gift for young and old.

I have bought a rubik's cube at a local store where I live, just to recall my childhood. But it broke to pieces the same day (the walls of the cube were too thin and they cracked). So I searched amazon and chose this Rubik's Cube 25th Anniversary, I have used it for about two weeks not heavily, it became smoother to roll it, but I did not notice any defects so far. Some stickers are off the center, but it is ok.

The toy is wonderful. The only problem I had was the shipping(USPS). The toy should have been placed in a box rather than a bag, because the packaging came dented, so I had to straighten the gift and tape the outside so I could wrap it. The bigger problem with USPS was that the toy was being shipped from Brooklyn,NY to Queens,NY and should have been a short trip, however USPS in Brooklyn lost the package for 2 weeks and then shipped it to Virginia then re-shiped it to Queens. The package took 3 weeks to get to me. Far longer than what was promised.

The Rubik needs to be lubricated so you can twist the sides easily. On the other hand, the colored stickers on the cube get peeled out with time. All in all its ok.

The sticker are starting to wear off after a hundred uses but it's not that bad.
Received it pretty fast with the standard delivery.
Good Overall

My kids love this. My 10 year old is close to figuring it out. It keeps them occupied for hours, and is better than sitting in front of a TV. A little tight to turn at first, but that was expected.

My husband has absolutely loved this trip back in time with the Rubic's cube! He says it is just like the one he had 25 years ago. He has been obsessed with playing with it since he found it in his Christmas stocking. Loves the stand, too.

Very smooth turning right out of the box. I usually have to take them apart immediately and grease up the insides with Vaseline. This one did not need it.
