Enamel was uneven. Lodge said it was normal because of cast iron texture underneath. It's not that; enamel seems to have set prematurely before it spread evenly on pot.  I've never seen this in ANY brand of enameled cast iron. Returned it to find Wayfair's "free shipping' only applies if you keep the item! They are taking off the round trip shipping cost off my refund. Glad I got a LC; their "seconds" are better than this. Will also never order from Wayfair again because of shipping. My husband was happy I got him the LC.
