For our family, this product started out as five stars. It was a stocking stuffer for my elementary age kids, and it has held their attention and excitement longer than anything else they got for Christmas. They keep shouting SHAPE! every time they think they've made a novel shape with their cube. Honestly, the first time I used it, I was disappointed when my kids took it back from me. It is easy to manipulate and has surprisingly fluid movement--the magnets come together with subtle, satisfying purpose to make various shapes. I sent the link to family who also love unusual puzzles.
Unfortunately, yesterday my daughter (who demonstrates her ability to work the cube by hiding it behind her back to make shapes) noticed a split in the design overlay just past one of the seams where the patterned cover is coming apart. We immediately put it away so as not to exacerbate the split (it appears the cube is a heavy black plastic with a plastic wrap pattern over the hard base), but I am frustrated that this will affect her use of the cube because I can't see how to fix it without leaving a sticky residue that would impact use of the cube. We do have one cube with a matte pattern (blue) and the one that has a split has a shiny, colorful pattern. The pattern overlays on the cubes do feel different to the touch, and so far the cube with the matte finish is not showing any wear.
For background, my kids would prefer screens to pass the time, but we do limit video games and force the kids to entertain themselves as much as we can. We love puzzles and board games and have tons of fun doing activities like Quadrillions.

Neat but breaks quickly
By Badgers! on September 5, 2020
I want to like this product. It's a neat idea and super fun to play with. I loved it so much I bought two. The first one split after only 2 weeks. I returned it thinking it was a fluke. It's held together with a rather flimsy sticker and after a few weeks to a month of normal play, it splits. The second cube started splitting now, too. I uploaded a pic of the split on one side and then the other side where I taped it. For the price, I felt this should've lasted longer than a month. Had they been more durable I'd have bought all four eventually. Bummer.
