We have purchased two Staub 4 quart round cocottes - one for ourselves a year ago (in cherry red) and a second one (in matte black) to give to our son. The quality is excellent and its usefulness is outstanding. Clean-up is easy and storage of leftovers in the refrigerator or our cold garage in the winter is common. The lid fits just fine, and the base is level...no rocking due to uneveness. Presentation at the table is simple and elegant at the same time.
We have several other Staub pots (up to 9 quarts) including the decorative large pumpkin pot (no longer available), but this 4 quart cocotte is our favorite.

Pros: Durable finish, shape, size and weight, appearance, easy to clean, non-scorching and even cooking
Cons: I can't think of any reasons not to buy or use this Staub cocotte
