Out of the box the puzzle felt scratchy/sandy but still turned nice. It is a somewhat easy puzzle to solve if you can solve both a 3x3 and 5x5. I really recommend buying this puzzle if you want a fun challenge and an interesting puzzle in your collection!
Despite it being a good puzzle there is a few problems. The middle layers of the puzzle are hard to control, making 3x3 stage frustrating. The middle layer is also difficult to turn by its self, because it is so small and hard to grip. I also had a few problems with the small stickers falling off, which is why I recommend the stickerless version over the stickered.
Overall, it is a good buy! It's fun, different/unique, and challenging.
