Sauna life is the good life...
We went with the six person outdoor cube sauna. The installation went as advertised in the video, and we'd definitely recommend having two people available for some parts of it.
The sauna is sooo lovely - great material and quality and a wonderful experience. The harvia app is easy to use and I'm glad we upgraded to the largest heater with wifi. Its taking 30-40 minutes to go from 30 to 175, which is pretty great. The heater does turn off sometimes so we still need to figure out if it's overheating and why. Oh, and the hat is a game changer to tolerate the really high temps! Overall strongly recommend!

Thank you so much for sharing this! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re enjoying your new 6-person Cube Sauna and that the build process went smoothly. It really does make a difference having two people for some of those steps, and we’re glad the installation video was helpful along the way.
It’s wonderful to hear how quickly you’re reaching those higher temperatures and that the Harvia WiFi upgrade has been a great addition. And yes—the sauna hat absolutely earns its reputation as a must-have accessory!
If you’d like, we’re more than happy to help you take a look at the heater occasionally turning off. Sometimes it’s a simple setting or placement adjustment, and we can usually get it sorted out quickly.
We really appreciate your recommendation and hope you enjoy many relaxing sessions ahead.
I ordered from Redwoods bc of a…
I ordered from Redwoods bc of a referral, and I was told the customer service was top notch. Unfortunately I didn't have the same experience. My impression is that the systems they have in place are not working for them as they grow as a company, and bad service is probably going to continue until they fix their overall processes.
Timeline:
- I first ordered the Garden Sauna on 8/11 and was told that there was a chance the wifi component to the heater I wanted (Virta 10.5 kW) was backordered. I ordered anyway
- They confirmed 8/12 that the component was in stock and I should expect delivery on 8/25. Based on this, I made plans with a contractor to build level ground among other things (like a deck; pics show that it was a big project)
- No contact until 8/21 when I reached out to them bc I didn't have shipping confirmation. I was told that they had a new system that messed them up and other people were ahead of me on the list for the wifi component. New ship date was supposed to be 9/23
- Had them ship the sauna structure separate bc of the work with the contractor, and was told on 8/26 that the sauna would ship 8/28
- No contact until 8/29 when I had to reach out and was told the whole operations team had COVID
- I had to reach out again on 9/3 and was told that the sauna structure still had not shipping. Finally shipped about a week later
- No contact about the wifi component until 9/26, and was told that there was a delay and new estimated shipping date was 10/19
- I was then told on 10/14 and 10/16 that the heater and component would ship out the next day, but that didn't happen. Was told 10/20 that if it didn't go out the previous week, it would go out 10/20 (it didn't)
- called 10/20 and was told it was scheduled for 10/23. The heater went out 10/23, but the rocks necessary to turn it on weren't shipped until 10/25.
So basically I was not prioritized and was given the run around so many times. I will say that every individual I talked to was very nice and tried to help, but they were just unable to. E.g., there was no way they could make sure my order went out other than to just write a note to the operations team (who clearly didn't care about that at all). Pretty terrible experience overall.
In terms of the quality of the sauna - it's pretty solid and decent for the price. I live in a cold climate and it takes forever for it to get to a high temp (170+) because there are a lot of leaks (to the point that I'm going to install a drop ceiling with insulation. I like how big it is though and it looks pretty dope with the big window (I added the lights in the pic).
I'm super glad it's working now and love that I have a sauna, but I wouldn't order from here if I were to do it again.

My name is Serah and I am the Manager of Customer Support and I want to thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed and thoughtful review. While I’m glad to hear that you’re now enjoying the sauna itself, I’m truly sorry that the journey to get there was far from the seamless experience we aim to provide.
Reading through your timeline, it’s clear that we fell short in several areas—especially around communication, clarity on lead times, and follow-through during a period when our internal systems and team availability were strained. None of that should have impacted you the way it did, and I completely understand how frustrating and disruptive the delays must have been, particularly with a contractor already scheduled and work underway.
Although I reached out when your rating first came through, it’s clear that we still missed the mark in supporting you proactively and consistently throughout the process. That part is on us, and your experience highlights gaps that we’ve been working hard to improve—specifically around order visibility, communication during backorders, and ensuring that customer-facing teams have more direct control over shipment follow-through.
I also appreciate your feedback regarding insulation and heat retention. We take product performance seriously, and insights like yours help us pinpoint where improvements can be made.
Thank you again for sharing both the positives and the challenges. We're glad you’re enjoying the sauna now, but I’m sorry that the path to get there left you feeling disappointed. If there’s ever anything you need in the future—or if you'd like us to take another look at the insulation concerns—we’re here and ready to help.

I loved my experience with Redwood because of great customer service and a great product! great customer service!
I absolutely loved my experience with Redwood Outdoors. The sauna is almost done, just having to hook up the electric, which we hope to have it finished by this coming weekend. It is a beautiful and well-built sauna. It definitely adds to our backyard, and I can't wait to use it many, many times. But my best experience was due to your Customer Service Rep. Brad, out of Kent, WA. He was amazing all the way around. I had a lot of questions and concerns, and Brad was nothing but helpful, courteous and prompt with his answers. He also tried calling me one time to go over everything via phone, but I was at work and not able to answer. But he still got his answers to me by email. I aways felt taken care of and comfortable with all the answers he gave me. I really believe a great point of contact, which Brad is, is the key to customer satisfaction and a great purchasing experience. Of course, the product has to be great too, but as everyone knows there are always questions and if those aren't taken care of properly the experience is everything but good. Brad, however, is exemplary. If all of your Customer Service Rep's are like him, you are in luck and should keep all of them happy, so they stay where they are and continue their great work for Redwood Outdoors. I even feel like that if I have any more questions or concerns after the purchase that I still will get the best customer service, which makes me feel very confident in my purchase, that I am not left alone, if anything were to happen. Great Job Redwood Outdoors and a shoutout to Brad, the best Customer Service Rep. I have ever dealt with!!! Happy Holidays to all of you and continue building wonderful saunas and the great customer service you have!

Kit works well, some issues.
Kit works well, good that extra lengths were included, needed them, crate damage required their use and also needed gluing tongue and groove ribs back in place that were split on 12 components, all done, glass door is shy of contacting weatherstrip around the whole perimeter of the door by about 1/8”. Would suggest using a thicker weatherstrip. Quality control should have caught this as it was a completely assembled component.

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for taking the time to detail your experience with the kit. We’re glad to hear everything is up and running and that the extra lengths included were helpful—especially given the crate damage you encountered.
We’re sorry again that some of the tongue-and-groove ribs required repair and that the pre-assembled door wasn’t sealing as expected. As we discussed during your support case, we appreciate you working through the adjustments with our team and getting the components back in place. Your suggestion regarding a thicker weatherstrip is valuable, and we’ve passed it along to our product team for review as we continue improving quality control on pre-assembled parts.
We truly appreciate your patience and your constructive feedback. If you need any further support or have additional questions as you continue using your sauna, we’re always here to help.
Nice sauna but sloppy door pre-assembly.
We purchased a Cove sauna. The staff at the Seattle showroom were very knowledgeable and helped us choose the best sauna for our space. Assembly was easy. All the parts were included and the instructions were clear. Some of the wood parts were not labeled but that wasn't a problem since the size and shape made it obvious. The assembly videos were also very helpful. My wife and I put it together in a day.
Why three stars? The pre-assembled door was put together sloppily. The bottom magnetic door closer did not align with the metal piece on the glass so it does nothing. Worst though, there is over 1/4" gap at the lower half of the door between the glass and the rubber seal. (The top half of the door seals normally.) This gap lets in a strong draft of cold air at the bottom of the space. After spending thousands of dollars to purchase a sauna, you shouldn't have to wear socks to keep your feet warm while taking a sauna. I'm sure I can fix this but it will require removing the door hinges, filling in the screw holes, drilling new holes in the correct position and re-hanging the door. Disappointing.

Sauna package arrived well packed
Sauna package arrived well packed. Nothing was damaged. Assembly was straight forward, however, it took me a little longer to assemble. Only real challenge was the metal roof but it son and its dry after snow and rain.
Electrician just finished wiring. Turned it on and it warmed up fine. The WiFi controls have a lot of options that I need to figure out. Wil load stones today and hopefully get to use it tomorrow.

Fantastic Customer Service
Jared and Reggie(?) enthusiastically took multiple calls and fielded many questions during my diy installation and in prep for the electrical installation. They were knowledgeable and quickly gave me the clarification/guidance that I needed for a dynamite build. While I hope to not have to talk to them again, I take comfort in knowing that they are there. Thanks again for all of your help.

well made and designed
well packaged, well made, great design with the large window. I think the basket with the hot stones should have unobtrusive narrow " belt" - maybe 2 wooden braces - but I guess you can't have wood so close to the hot rocks

We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the packaging, craftsmanship, and design—especially the large window feature. Your suggestion about adding a narrow belt or wooden braces around the basket is very creative. You’re absolutely right that wood near hot stones can pose safety concerns, and we’ll definitely take your idea into consideration as we explore alternative materials and design improvements.
Your input helps us make our products even better, and we truly appreciate you sharing it!

2025 garden sauna
We don’t have our garden sauna running yet but it’s almost there, just the electrical left. We are so excited and it’s beautiful, we will send pictures when it’s done. We had a couple of parts damaged and a missing part so that I had to call and order twice. The second time I just left a message and they had the part sent out the same day. The staff from start to finish has been stellar. Zero complaints, they were so helpful and quick on getting helping with any issues or questions we had. I love this company! We chose it because of the reviews and because they are close to us in Washington, just in case we had problems. Looking forward to using our sauna.

Sauna is beautiful
Sauna is beautiful. Went together fairly easy. Only complaint was there were a few discrepancies between the instructions I pulled off the website, and the instructions it came with. Use the instructions it comes with. Installation wasn’t difficult. I did purchase different roofing materials. I Only used the shingles that were included . I didn’t use the included rolled material for the flat area. With that said the final product is worth the 5 stars
