Price value good but you can see why people LOVE Le Creuset.
The price can't be beat! $45 with free shipping is a great value regardless of what I write in this review. I was excited to open the box and loved the color immediately! I continued to be impressed by the weight of the pot. But after completely un packing I placed the lid on the pot and looked at my wife and said this is why a Le Creuset is $245 and this was only $45. The lid does not seal tightly and you need to rotate the lid to find the position where it seals best though it's still not 100% closer to 90%.
Would I buy it again? Probably. Would I have bought it in a store where the faults were clear before making the decision to purchase? Probably not. I just cannot justify the $200+ dollars for the "real deal".
I hope this helpful.
UPDATE: After using this dutch oven many times for a variety of dishes I would increase my rating to 4 stars. The initial dissappointment of the ill fitting lid has faded and what remains is a pot that does its job well and even out on my bakers rack next to a Le Creuset holds its own in terms of looks.More detail ...
