It's a great cube, turns very well and the magnets in it make it a lot easier to align all the layers. when I first got the cube it was tight and a little hard to turn and couldn't really corner cut, but I loosened all the screws and now it turns really fast and is loose and it corner cuts almost as good as my 7x7. if you turn it too fast or try to corner cut too far though then pieces can pop out of the cube or pieces can swap places so be careful, and that is probably why it is tight to begin with. It's probably the best 8x8 that exists and I got it for $45 which is a good deal. it also comes with a bag, a cloth, a stand, and a screwdriver.
