 Great gift November 11, 2009
Barbara J. May (LITTLE CANADA, MN United States)
I bought this "5 by 5", as my 13 year old son calls it, for his Cube collection. I haven't seen his eyes since. He puzzles with this thing nonstop. I find it stashed under the covers each morning when I make the bed. It's a great gift, and I am his hero for buying it.
I don't like titling reviews. October 25, 2009

Like all Rubik's, it does take a good bit of time to break in for nice smooth movement. The 5x5 works precisely as expected, and was a lot of fun to work. Due to the shape and shear number of layers, the 5x5 does take a little extra care in moving - it is easy to have one row just far enough out of line to prevent a turn. Also, and important to note, due to the design it is possible to get a few of the squares in particular (think second row second column) twisted if you attempt to turn it while slightly misaligned. This hasn't caused any damage to mine, as we've always caught it beforehand - but someone just wrenching on your cube could easily twist one of these pieces off.
Awesome toy! October 8, 2009

My son loves this Rubic's Cube. He carries it with him in the car, plays with it while watching t.v., is always asking his brothers to scramble it for him, etc. He has taken the initiative to find on-line tutorials that teach the solving process. He now wants to try the 6x6 and the 7x7. It was a worthwhile purchase.

THIS IS SIMPLY A CHALLENGE OF YOUR MENTAL ENDURANCE. STICK WITH IT AND YOU'LL GET IT EVENTUALLY. IT'S A LOT OF FUN GETTING THERE. WOULD RECOMMEND.
 Even my grandpa loved it! July 30, 2009
N. Wong (California)
My grandpa was always interested in Rubik's Cubes. He even created his own solutions for the 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 5x5, and the 7x7.
When I bought this for him as a gift, his face lit up, and he immediately started to work on this 5x5 puzzle.
This 5x5 cube is very fragile. Dropping it once or twice would be too harmful to it's pieces. Stickers do fall off from time to time, as long as you whip out that super glue, you'll be fine.
It is highly recommended for those who have a high level of patience, and those who have mastered other Rubik's Cubes.
