My boyfriend and I wanted to invest in a French oven since we'd be doing more cooking starting fall season. We wavered between Le Creuset and Staub. After much research, we went with Staub because we liked the black enamel interior and the wide option for more braising surface area. 
The pot itself is a beautiful addition to our kitchen and it has helped us produce delicious stews. We are looking at purchasing other Staub products since we're so happy with this one! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
