I really love this pot, but I can only give it 4 stars because it was sent to me with some flaws: a deep groove on the inside near the place where the hand is attached. The groove is only about 1/4 " long, so I am just trying to ignore it rather than return the pot. I also noticed an area along the bottom edge where the clad aluminum is attached where there is some sort of dull colored adhesive (?).  I tried to remove it with a soft cleanser, and was able to get some of it off. Again, I'm trying to just ignore this. I love the length of the handle, the shape of the pot, and the glass lid is excellent, because on the inside, the rim is closed between the metal and the glass so that cleaning is easy - nothing can get stuck in the "seam".  I do wish that Wayfair would raise the quality of their merchandize. It seems like there is some sort of flaw on everything I order.
