It was relatively easy to put together. About 9 hours. another 3 hours to wire. I like that the product came with a building apt put together and specialize drill attachment to make the job easier. The only criticism is outside control were difficult to use. No detailed instructions; however, the phone apt controls were easy to use. No need to use the outside controls. I have not tried to calibrate the inside thermometer and the humidity meter. to busy using the sauna. All in all a good buy for the price.

Looks really nice when completed. Checked measurements multiple times though still ended with a small gap on top. Roof covers the gap so hopefully not an issue. After tightening straps I am having trouble with the door closing properly. BILT app was excellent for directions took a full two days to finish the project mostly working alone. Still hooking up power.

Really impressed with build quality of this sauna and all the parts and accessories it comes with. Easy to follow directions, heats up quickly and gets HOT. Not even going to dock it a star but I can't get the app to connect so you just have to use control panel on sauna.

We bought this a few months ago and we are enjoying it every day. We go in first thing in the morning for 10 to 15 minutes, then jump in the pool to exercise. We are both 80 years old and our doctor told us a sauna would be so good for our health. And it is. In addition, it is a beautiful addition to our backyard. We are very pleased with our purchase.

We bought this late spring. I recomend at least two people to put it together. Make sure you have power for the unit. The light that came with it runs off of 110v, so you will need to add an outlet close by if you intend to use it. So far we love using it. It was well worth it at the price.

we purchased this sauna about 4 months ago and have used it several times a week. The only issue we've had is getting it to connect to the wifi so we can use our phone to turn it on and off which isn't a problem now but will be once the weather is cold and having to go out to turn it on to start warming up.

I want to say this was a fun project to put together. I highly suggest you watch several YouTube viedo a few times. Take your time and follow the instructions. Dont jump ahead. I did and had to go back on a few things. It turns out i had a faulty controller. When I called I was amazed when a human being answered the call and was able to answer all my questions. They expedited a new one. So a big thank you too BYD!

We love our sauna! It took about 8 hours for two people to assemble. It fits perfectly under our deck. Two drawbacks- the heater kicks and turns off when it heats up too fast, we have to set it in the 150s then turn it up if we want it higher. It is a safety feature I guess but it is frustrating. The second drawback is that there are a couple of places that are drafty, which could be fixed with some caulk so it really isn't that big of a deal or we would've already fixed it. Overall we are very happy with this sauna. Knowing what we know now, we still would've bought it!

I am happy to leave a review for the Paxton Barrel Sauna. It was better than expected. In terms of operation it heats up fast and provides a great experience (used 3 times so far). But beyond that was the setup. The instructions and packaging could not have been better. I spread out the boxes and plucked from each as I went along and kept referring to packing lists to find the components. Not what they suggest but it worked for me. I highly recommend this product and the company. One call to Backyard Discovery and I received 20 screws that I seemed to have misplaced. I am going to order a greenhouse next!!

IKEA should hire the guys from Backyard Discovery to write their furniture instructions, and Amazon should hire them to teach their warehouses how to pack a box that doesn't arrive looking like it survived a demolition derby. This was easier to put together than most LEGO sets. I was able to complete everything by myself except for dropping the front and back walls into the base. I needed a helper for that step, but it was simple—the walls stayed perfectly straight once they were seated in the base. Kudos to this company for creating such a well-thought-out kit. The hardest part was squeezing the final two slats into place at the top of the sauna, but even that worked out in the end.
