I like Lodge but reviews are poor and even Amazon warns "frequently returned item". I'll pass, also looks too thin.

edit/added: what's wrong with it being thinner? For common usage like eggs, hamburgers… Seems it would be good for being less heavy and not retaining the heat forever.
I bought a bunch of carbon pans for cheaper. I think West Elm when they were on clearance and there are some other brands, they look about the same. you have to treat it differently than other pans, so you have to adjust to that, which I haven't fully gotten to but will. makes a delicious crispy crust on things….. you can profit on peoples unwillingness to treat these pans differently than the usual by getting the returned items for much cheaper. I didn't look at this listing but if there aren't any warehouse items, look up carbon steel pan, some of those get returned so much that they'll have a lot at a cheaper price. You might have to sand off some rust and re- season.

I bet the most common reason for complaints has to do with rusting because people just don't dry and oil the pan after use, just want to treat it like stainless steel..
" Seasoning is just oil baked onto cast iron through a process called polymerization. It gives your cookware that classic black patina. Seasoning forms a natural, easy-release cooking surface and helps prevent your pan from rusting." …*acidic foods and sudden high temperatures can destroy or flake off the seasoning..

I've got 2 of these along with a few Merten and Storck carbon pans. The M&S are way nicer fit and finish and they were cheaper.

Carbon steel pans are always thin by design. If you want something thicker, you want to go with cast iron. "Carbon steel" and cast iron are essentially the same thing, dispite the nonsensical names. Cast iron is just "carbon steel" with a little more carbon in it. Not to mention the fact that all steel is "carbon steel", since steel is just iron with carbon added. "Carbon steel" is really just steel with a higher carbon content than the average steel.

I got one of these second hand and treated it like all my other cast iron, works perfect when done that way. Only issue I had was when my wife tried to let it soak

Carbon Steel is stamped from a sheet of steel.
Cast Iron is molten Iron, poured into a mold made of sand.
CS heats up faster (and cools faster) and is probably 1/2 the weight of CI.
Both are good to cook with because they are non-stick without being covered with a "forever chemical" PFAS coating.
Both can go on the grill or in the broiler without being damaged.
Neither should be put in the dishwasher.

Hilarious to me that people automatically will heap praise on something that claims to be "seasoned" when it's pure garbage. Have fun with your shitty skillet.
looks like the texture is very rough. carbon steel woks are generally very smooth.

I read some of those reviews and just couldn't stop shaking my head. So many 1 star reviews that said they returned the pans because they rust lol. Many of the 1 star reviews are user error

Real talk: It's a fine carbon steel pan but it comes much rougher than other brands because lodge sand blasts them (like there cast iron) so the oil for seasoning will stick as it goes through the oven. If you're looking for egg sliding out of the box then this isn't it. But if you don't care about that, it's made in USA, will last and get better with use.
