Snake Cube

I have had this puzzle before (purchased from a puzzle shop) and it was very high quality. This high quality one matched the picture shown EXACTLY (same colors, wood looked the same, even had the same little circular notch on the end shown in one of the pictures).HOWEVER, the puzzle I received from this seller is very poor quality, and does not match the picture. The wood is connected by a stretchy cheap feeling elastic, and the puzzle is much smaller than the one I had previously owned. It feels like a cheap toy that came free in a box of cereal. I'm assuming it will break after minimal use. Once again, the picture shown in the description is most definitely a photo of the higher quality version of this toy, and NOT of the one that will ship. Considering this cost me $15 with shipping, I am a very unhappy customer. For that much money, the real product should have been sent.

I thought maybe the reviewers were being over critical of the product. I was wrong. This puzzle looks like it should come out of a vending machine for $0.50 not the $10.00 the have the price set at. The size is no larger than a golf ball, the wood is cheap and soft, and the product quality looks like something that should have come from a Oriental Trading Co. magazine.Amazon Consumers: Don't bother wasting your time with this product. You, like the rest of us will just end up returning it.Amazon Vendors: If you must peddle this product, place it at a reasonable price that your consumers will ponder keeping it when they have been duped. Perhaps around $2.00. At that price it still is around a 566% mark up instead of the 3099% markup that you are currently charging (if your reading this and trying to do the math, the wholesale price of this product is $0.30 (verified)). As a result you might not face so many returns on this puzzle.

Mine came wrapping in Hindustantimes news paper and scotch tape . It was the same color as picture but the cube seem used it feel like some bought from a thrift store. I am worried it ill break soon.

This is made of wood - and comes in the shape of a cube - but unfolds to a "snake"It is really easy to unwind the cube into the snake, but darn near impossible to get it back to a cube.Give one of these to one of your 'high-IQ' friends and see how long it takes her (or him) to figure it out.The best of the wooden puzzles I have EVER seen.

Would work a little easier with rounded corners, but still works

This cracked about 10 mins after I received it, it looks nothing like the pic (mine is green and natural wood), very cheaply made and flimsy. Maybe worth $2 - dollar store quality. Total ripoff for $10 - very disappointing.

the packaging it came in was ok. it looks just as advertised in the pic. i urge anyone who likes puzzles to buy it. it's so fun and frustrating trying to solve it from either end. makes a good paper weight to *hint for another use when you get bored of solving it*

I bought this as a gift for someone... they had never seen anything like it. They were very intrigued and loved it....it took them a while to put it back together

This was a stocking filler for my grandson. He looked on google to get the solution and now he can do it as quick as lightening.
