Sent broken/damaged parts

Sent broken/damaged parts. Like pulling teeth trying to get replaced. Waited weeks before I could get an answer. Repeated phone calls. Then I had to deal with this really bitchy customer service women. Whoever put her in charge of customer service is an idiot.

A Quality Product and Great Customer Service

Purchasing a sauna for our home was a big decision given the amount of time, money, and space involved. For me, it was important to find a high quality product that was accompanied by great customer service - I considered this a new relationship I'd be building as the expectation is this sauna will be a fixture in our home.

I found that with Redwood Outdoors! After extensive research, I landed on the Garden Sauna from RO. The involved process from research/questions, purchase, shipping/delivery, construction, electrical installation, and finally sauna troubleshooting - the entire time I have had support from the Redwood Outdoors team, making sure I was satisfied with my investment and not getting stuck on any issues that arose while getting the sauna up and running.

Construction of the sauna building was easy and enjoyable - one solid day's work (with the instructions it was like building a giant grown up Lego set).

Find a quality electrician and follow RO's instructions.

The sauna has been up and running for a month (every night), and it's been fantastic. We are thrilled with the investment!

I've got Redwood on speed dial for any questions/issues, and they are always quick to get back to me.

I hope to have a long lasting relationship with them and to continue using our new Garden sauna year round. Thank you Redwood Outdoors!

Since day one I have problems with Alaskan cold plunge. First of all I was asked to fix it by my self, after I pushed multiple time I was offered a small compensation for hiring technician, which didn't cover the cost of technician. Currently cold plunge is non-functional and I am again required to fix it by myself or pay out of pocket most of the part of the bill.

AWFUL

The sauna arrived damaged and I had to fight like hell to get what I deserved; customer service is awful, truly a zero integrity company. This is what happens when you manufacture things in china and have zero control over your manufacturing process.

Was hired to put together a redwood outdoor sauna and as a carpenter I have honestly never seen such low quality. Door wouldn’t close, spliced wood, glue, and the crate was damaged (I pretty sure it was from China)

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback and professional perspective. While outdoor sauna kits are constructed differently from custom furniture or finish carpentry, we understand your concerns, especially regarding the door. We’d be happy to take a closer look and encourage the purchaser to contact our team with photos and order details so we can help.

Customer service and quality are a 5

Customer service and quality are a 5! I only have a 4 because I think they could improve their shipping timing communication. For instance, the accessories shipped first, which is fine but it kept me guessing when I could expect (and schedule my electrician) the sauna to ship and arrive. It also took more than "a few hours" to build, but was packed extremely well and instructions were good.

I had another amazing experience at Redwood Sauna! This was my return visit, I was buying accessories for our sauna. Unfortunately, I had to exchange one of the items.. The process was seamless and efficient.

A special thank you to Joe, who went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and helpful. His exceptional customer service truly sets Redwood Sauna apart.

If you're looking for a place to purchase a sauna, I highly recommend Redwood Sauna. I'll definitely be back again!

Cabin Sauna Kit and Alaskan Cold Plunge

Your Cabin Sauna Kit and Alaskan Cold Plunge are of high quality and look great on our brick patio. The sauna assembly was straight-forward due to labeling and relatively clear instructions in the manual. The video was very helpful. It was also easy to speak with a real person on the few occasions when I needed clarification when ordering and assembling the units. Even during the heat of summer in Santa Fe, NM, we love the contrast of dry heat followed by a cold plunge, but we look forward to climbing in on crisp fall and winter days and evenings ahead!

Love our new duo mini cube

Love our new duo mini cube! Delivery was easy and on time. I’m not very handy and was able to put it together with a friend- took us about 6 hours including the deboxing and watching the instructions which were very informative. 8kW gets up to 185 in about 25 mins.
