Very poor customer service
I had some pretty simple questions after my sauna was delivered and it was a painful ordeal getting a single straight answer.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. I’m truly sorry that getting answers to your initial questions felt harder than it should have. That’s not the experience we aim to deliver.
I’m glad we were able to connect by phone just now and clear up the misunderstanding. I really appreciate your openness during our conversation—you mentioned the call “meant a lot,” and that stood out to me. My goal is always to make sure you feel supported and heard, and I’m glad we got there together.
I’m also happy we could land on a resolution you feel good about. I’ll send over my direct contact information shortly so you always have a reliable point of contact moving forward.

Thank you for your review. I saw your note mentioning that things felt “very slow” and that the ice plunge was “forgotten,” and I want to make sure I fully understand your experience so I can address it properly.
I tried calling and left a voicemail, and I’ve also followed up by email—whenever you have a moment, I’d appreciate any clarification on what specifically was missed. Once I have that, I’ll make sure we get it resolved quickly for you.
Thank you again for bringing this to our attention. I’m here and ready to help as soon as I hear back.

The heater arrived with a faulty micro switch, meaning the whole unit needed to be replaced. I understand that these things happen, but Harvia has been dragging their feet with getting the replacement sent. The process of getting a new heater is reaching two weeks with the unit not even being shipped yet.

Thank you for taking the time to share this feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that your heater arrived with a faulty micro-switch — that’s incredibly frustrating, and certainly not the experience we want for our customers.
While defects are rare, they can happen, and we understand how disappointing the delay in receiving the replacement has been. As soon as this was reported, our team initiated the warranty process with Harvia right away, and we have continued to follow up with them to get your replacement unit moving as quickly as possible.
We completely agree that the current timeline is longer than anyone would like, and we share your frustration. Please know that we are actively pushing for updates and will notify you as soon as the tracking information is available.
Thank you for your patience while we work to get this resolved — we’re here every step of the way.
It’s Legit
It’s Legit. Well packed, well made, easy assembly. Extra parts in the box, just in case. Nice work. I’d buy again.

Thank you for the awesome feedback! We’re so glad to hear everything arrived well-packed, was easy to assemble, and that the quality lived up to your expectations. Our team always includes a few extra parts as a backup, so it’s great to hear that added convenience stood out.
We appreciate your trust in Redwood Outdoors — and it means a lot to hear you’d buy from us again. Enjoy your sauna!
Second Redwood Outdoors Sauna
We recently moved and had to leave our original Redwood Outdoors sauna, so I bought a second for our new home. The reasons I bought one again:
- Excellent packaging. The crate was jostled significantly while being transported across a construction site and no damage was done to the components inside including the 6' windows.
- Quality of construction and instructions. All the pieces are well-labeled and easy to assemble. The change from convex beams to grooved will make for a better seal from wind, and the floor/roof panels versus individual planks made the construction much faster. The entire erection took around six hours by myself.
Disappointments based on my first sauna:
- Removal of components. The front porch, Huum Drop heater option, upper bench back rest, and lower fence are no longer included.
We are still waiting to power our new sauna, and cannot wait to get back in!

Thank you so much for choosing Redwood Outdoors again, and for sharing such a thoughtful breakdown of your experience. It truly means a lot to us when returning customers notice the improvements we’ve worked hard to make—especially around packaging, labeling, and simplifying the assembly process. We’re glad the updated panels and beam design made this build smoother and more efficient for you, even solo!
I also appreciate you calling out the components you enjoyed in your first sauna that weren’t part of the updated model. Your feedback helps us understand what features matter most to returning customers, and I’ve shared these notes with our product team so they’re taken into consideration as we continue refining our designs.
We’re excited for you to get everything powered up and back to enjoying your sauna routine in your new home. If you need anything at all as you get set up, please feel free to reach out—we’re always here to help.
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.

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. 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.

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
