I was exceptionally pleased with the superior packaging protection of bubble wrapping lid and base separately and double boxing with a very tight fit.  Everything looked great and well-made, upon receipt.  I seasoned it with olive oil and used the baking temperature recommended, but this left some permanent streaks where some of the heated oil dripped during the tempering process.  Also, after making Hungarian Goulash, some stains remained.  This is no big deal for me, as it's its baking performance that I'm after, but this is why I've given it 4 stars, instead of 5, (in case you want a pristine interior!)  I purchased it for baking artisan bread, and according to one person's review, it said it did an awesome job.  I haven't had the opportunity to bake my bread, yet, and wasn't going to rate the oven until I did so, but the review request came quickly; I may post another review later regarding its bread baking ability.
