Packaging/ Initial appearance:
Simple cardboard box. No excessive plastic. Cube looks eautiful with nice colours.
Initial feel/checkerboard:
Fairly weighty but not so much that it's 'tiring' to hold ( true for entire solve of a couple of hours-- I'm a beginner ). Did checkerboard and some care needed to avoid catches, but it was easy to align all layers by either tapping or pinching the edges with two fingers or a gentle slap with one palm. Although not completely dry, it was a little bit too frictional.
Outer layers turn easily, and centre layers nearly but not quite as easily.
Break-in:
I added some lube and thoroughly scrambled the cube.
The lube definitely helped although to be fair I think just turning it for the scramble did as much.
1st solve:
There were a few minor catches of misaligned layers when turning which were easily straightened with two-finger pinch or palm-slap. It was a pleasure to solve and by the end of the solve, the cube was turning very smoothly and had broken in pretty well.
Bottom line:
I'm looking forward to my next solve on this cube and recommend it unless you have small fingers as it's a fair-sizex cube ( MoYu do a smaller 8*8*8 if you have small fingers which is also a great buy, )

I found this cube fun to solve slowly because of its colourful design and large size which makes it easier to solve if you have large hands (like myself). All the layers of this cube turn quite smoothly (after lubing and adjusting its tension), apart from the third layer inwards from any given side of the cube, which can make solving this cube a bit frustrating at times.
The top layers of its pieces can pop out occasionally and may need to be glued back onto the cube if they don't click easily back into place (which is also rather frustrating).

Unfortunately cannot solve cube as rows stick and whatever I do they remain so. Tapping Squeezing and lube have been tried.

This cube was my first 8x8 and I think it turns pretty well. Some of the layers do get caught on other pieces but that is expected because it is a non magnetic cube. I would recommend this to people if they want a fun and unique puzzle

Great product for the price, but the turning of the inner layers ain't perfect. Some friction and stacked pieces might happen. Overall it's a good cube, 4/5
