Everything went well but someone bent the lid to fit inside the pot for shipping and handling purposes.

Review 3 for Mainstays 16-Quart Stock Pot

Leaks!

Overall, really cheap pot. Thin gauge metal. Was already dented when I purchased it. The big issue here is that the pot leaks from the rivets on the handles. Not just one or two rivets, but all of them. This is a great deal if you want a 10-quart stockpot, because you can't fill it above the rivets. Will be returning this product to the store.

It came with a dent. Product is made of thinner material and apparently dents easily. Also upset that I couldn't order it from my local store, could only pick it up at a store 30 miles away.

I used it the first time December 15th for a Christmas dinner at my church. It held 10Lbs of potatoes and they were ready in about 20 minutes. It is a good solid pot and is well worth the asking price. I saw other places on the internet asking a whole lot more for the same stock pot. The one I received was not Gold in color

Review 9 for Mainstays 16-Quart Stock Pot

Great Product

I am using this for beer brewing. I looked around and saw other stainless pots going for about 25 to 70 dollars depending on the quality. For me, I am on a budget, this pot was a great find and got the job done fine. Very heat conductive and brought my water to a rolling boil much faster than my smaller aluminum pan.
There were a few dings in the pot when I bought it, but this doesn't affect the usability at all.

I had to order it online because this store did not have it on the shelf. When I ordered it, your store said that they had in stock and to come and pick it up. Very disappointed that I had to make two trips to your store to purchase one item, because the employees are NOT stocking the shelves!!!
