I have been in need of a deep skillet for far too long. This is a must have in any kitchen. It is well made and the nonstick surface is very good. I've used this 3 times in the past week and couldn't be happier. I would also note that it seems to do a really good job of distributing heat evenly. Cooked a skirt steak and it was evenly cooked. Also it's very easy to clean and take care of. Good looking as well if you like to hang your skillets like I do.
