I was planning to return it since I thought this pot is similar to the other one I purchased. However, after I received it, I change my mind to keep it with few reasons as following. First, this is a shallow 4-qt pot, which is good for hotpot, shabu shabu, stew, etc. These types of dishes can be served with this pot on the burner to share with the whole family. I will say this is good for 4 servings. Second, this pot got a decent weight that is easy to handle; meanwhile, it is not too light and not flimsy. Third, it is a plus that this pot is oven safe up to 450 F. The height of the pot is shorter than a regular can (see picture). And the diameter is similar to my 11-inch fry pan (see picture). Overall, I recommend this pot.
