I was looking into buying one of the wood saunas but saw that the max temp on most was 151 F, well below what I was used to at various gyms I've had memberships to. Then I came across this sauna with a higher temp (167 F) and excellent price. The other reviews were good so I went ahead and ordered. I've been pleasantly surprised by how effective this is! Pretty easy to put together and I added a small wood bench for more of a traditional sauna seat. I also have a humidifier with eucalyptus oil that I can use to make it a steam sauna when I want. So far, I've had it for about 6 weeks and use it 4-5 days a week. Sleeping and feeling better thanks in no small part to this sauna kit. A great bang for the buck and highly recommended.
