The tiles are okay, but the novelty is a little diminished by the easy-to-see numbers on the inside of the tiles. Not to mention that one of the tiles sticks out a bit and isn't flush with the rest of the cube. Taking off the center caps (to lube the springs) is tricky and odd. I recommend using a small flathead screwdriver. I like how it's tiled instead of stickered, and the corner cutting is slightly better than the original stickered versions. However, I prefer mirror block cubes with magnets.
