Pros & Cons
Pros
This is a once lifetime purchase so it was time. This piece costs more than other brands but is worth every penny.
It's durable and heats up very hot so it’s perfect for quick frying/sautéing. Takes a while to build eat, but once it gets there it stays hot and is perfect for sautés, and even frying. Also makes really good popcorn.
Wok is made from the cast iron throne from game of thrones. Heavy duty, non-stick because of the seasoning of the metal.
Performs fantastically, cleans up very easy. Easy to season, surface is nice and smooth. Easy to clean when when you keep it well oiled.
Will use it on bbq gas burner outside. Also fits in my weber kettle. Looking forward to a little patio wok cooking outdoors.
Cons
We just cook one time, gently wash it, but after one wash it looks rusty. I prefer a 12 cast iron wok which is more suitable for my kitchen sink.

I bought it on amazon because it was a great deal.
Couldn't find it on sale paid full price but its the number 1 reviewed cast wok on the market .
Shipping
Arrived a little late but only by a few days which in these difficult times, is great.
The company, great customer service fast and friendly response to any issues you may have.
Packaging/appearance
Looked everywhere for this for a gift.
The box was a little dinged, but the wok is like a work of art!
Bought slightly used wok and was surprised it was brand new right down to box.
Competitiveness
This piece costs more than other brands but is worth every penny.
But it is superior in all other categories.

I’m no chef so i can’t comment on cast iron vs carbon steel but i wanted a wok that i could leave on the stove since i didn’t have a lot of storage space left for a large wok

Figured a heavy cast iron wok would stay in place nicely and would be stable while cooking

Aesthetics were oddly a factor since this was staying on the stovetop
