I bought one without knowing or searching for a review - Mine is completely black, really cheap material and indeed really loud - in addition, some magnets were not glued properly and got out of their sockets so I needed to glue them back...really noisy but good looking I must say and also I had no problem playing on it (played like 7 point games last time on it without dice blocked or jumping out, so the design is good, but the material lacks quality)
