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)

The sauna is delightful and works like a charm. 15 in, 5 out, 4 times and we are done. Had 60 mph winds and sideways rain and the sauna did not budge. The roof stayed attached and the covering was unscathed. Thank you for delivering what you promised. J

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.

Thank you for your thoughtful and honest feedback! We’re delighted that you were pleased with the quality, packaging, instructions, and support from our team. We also appreciate your comments regarding shipping communication and assembly time. We understand how important clear delivery expectations are when coordinating with an electrician, and we’ll use your feedback as we continue improving the customer experience. We hope you enjoy your sauna for many years to come!

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!

We hope you continue enjoying that refreshing hot-and-cold contrast through every season and especially during those crisp Santa Fe fall and winter evenings!

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.

It's wonderful to know your delivery was smooth, the assembly instructions made the process approachable, and that you were able to get everything up and running with a friend. We're especially glad to hear your 8kW heater is performing just as expected.

Thank you for choosing Redwood Outdoors. We hope you enjoy many years of relaxation and wellness in your new sauna!

They were extremely helpful in getting me a replacement part for my sauna that was not available on their website. They also found a way to ship it to me when their systems initially wouldn’t let them.

A Complete Nightmare

The experience of buying a sauna from this company was nothing short of a nightmare! Estes Express, The company that supposedly delivers these saunas is not capable of delivering the product you order!! They gave us 4 separate 4hour long windows and never showed. Meanwhile, Redwood Outdoors was oblivious to the 16 hours of time my household wasted waiting for the delivery of their product and provided zero compensation. Even simply getting my money back was another time consuming laborious process. All in all not worth the wasted time and effort to purchase so much as a ladle from this screwed up business! I expected Redwood Outdoors to take responsibility to ensure their products are delivered in an efficient manner. After all, I had paid more than $12,000 dollars for these products and they could not even deliver them to me properly 🤯 Instead, they callously wasted hours and hours of my time. Buyer Beware.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry that your delivery experience did not meet expectations. We understand how frustrating it is to set aside time for multiple scheduled delivery windows that ultimately are not fulfilled.

While we work closely with our freight partners, situations like this fell short of the experience we strive to provide. When it became clear that we could not deliver the experience you expected, our team worked to process your refund as promptly as possible in an effort to bring the matter to a close.

Although we're disappointed that your experience ended this way, we appreciate your feedback. At Redwood Outdoors, we're committed to supporting our customers from purchase through resolution and continuously improving every part of the customer experience.
