If you can put together IKEA furniture, you can build this sauna.

If you can put together IKEA furniture, you can build this sauna. It's that easy. The instructions and videos were clear, and the construction is very well thought out. Before we purchased, we had several conversations with the RO staff, who were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They asked the right questions, which led us to a decision on size and features. We selected the Cabin Outdoor Sauna - 4 Person. The sauna arrived as promised, and the packaging was so well engineered that there was no breakage. We put our sauna on a roof deck, and it took only about an hour for 2 people to carry all the parts upstairs (1,000 lbs.). The only snafus we had were when I didn't read the directions correctly. The pieces can only go together one way. We only needed a screw gun and a rubber mallet. We learned that you have to be careful when taking the long pieces out of the box. They have a tongue-and-groove design and are shipped with the tongues in the grooves. So if you pull one of the boards out of the box without untangling them, you risk breaking off the tongues at one end. It is not a serious functional problem, but you may not like seeing it in the finished product. We also did not like the rolled roofing material. It was rolled extremely tightly and was hard to unroll without breaking. Maybe it had been sitting around for too long. The sauna heats up very quickly, and the App is amazing. I love turning on the sauna when I'm out walking the dog and having it ready when I get back. Our electricians found it easy to hook up. They had a question during the installation, and the RO office walked them through the hookup so they could finish in one visit. I've never had to wait to speak with someone in the office. We love our sauna, and we use it all the time. We highly recommend the product and the company. You can do this!

Barrel sauna: not happy with service and quality

I purchased a 6 person wide barrel sauna about 6 months ago. The company doesn't offer assembly service and says that assembling it is straightforward, which in my opinion is not accurate. It takes approximately 1.5 working days for two people to build it (also considering the roof tiles). After assembling it, I realized that there was a gap between the glass door and the frame, due to the door hinges being placed slightly too far from the frame (note: the door hinges come pre-installed to the frame, so this is not an assembly issue). When I called the customer support, they didn't offer to send anyone because they don't offer that service at all. All they can do it is sending me a $200 refund (note: I paid over 10K for sauna and heater). The repair eventually costed me $850, so the difference had to come out of my pocket.
In addition, the quality of the wood is rather mediocre and it's already started to splinter in several places.
Overall, this product and the service are not worth the money, and I wouldn't recommend.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear the process felt frustrating after such a significant investment.
Your sauna should be reaching 175–190°F at head level within 60–75 minutes of continuous heating, and we’d welcome the opportunity to reconnect directly to ensure everything is performing as intended.
Our goal is always a fully functioning sauna and a great long-term ownership experience. Please feel free to reach out so we can help.

Untrustworthy

The sauna itself is fine, definitely not a 4 person unless they’re all children, but fine overall. Customer service response time took about a week each time. It needs to be noted for customers that they will need to help the delivery driver unload. The most frustrating part is the company continuously removing reviews that gives anything less than 5 stars. You are not a trustworthy company if you continuously hide feedback that will help potential buyers. I cannot in good faith recommend this company to anyone.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear the sauna itself is working well and appreciate your comments on sizing, delivery expectations, and response times.

We’re sorry that our communication felt slower than expected and understand how frustrating that can be. We also want to clarify that we do not remove reviews based on star rating—feedback is only removed if it violates platform guidelines, and we value honest reviews as they help both us and future customers. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

The roofing materials could be much better. Also include vapor barrier. For how much this sauna is that should be included. I would give 4.5 but it is not a choice. I was given money back for roof which I appreciate. Thank you
