How does delivery work?
How does delivery work?
Free freight to the lower 48. Your order ships on a strapped pallet by insured LTL freight from the manufacturer's California warehouse.
When it ships. Orders are processed within 2 to 5 business days depending on the brand, and delivery to most addresses in the contiguous US takes 5 to 14 business days after shipment. Transit times are carrier estimates, not guarantees.
How you will know. You get a tracking number by email as soon as your order leaves the warehouse. Most carriers then call 24 to 48 hours ahead to lock in a four hour window, and some send an email or text the morning of delivery instead. Respond promptly either way, because missed attempts trigger terminal storage fees.
How it arrives. A 53 foot semi truck arrives at your curbside and the driver delivers the pallet to the curb. Liftgate service is not included as standard, and standard delivery does not include bringing the equipment inside, up stairs, or unpacking. Someone must be present to sign.
If it arrives damaged. Walk around the pallet and check every box before signing the Bill of Lading. Cosmetic damage can be accepted, but if a carton is punctured or crushed, refuse that item and call us on (888) 500-5675 while the driver is still there. Note the damage on the Bill of Lading, photograph it, and contact us within 48 hours. Once the damage is documented on the Bill of Lading we can file a valid freight claim and ship a replacement at no cost to you. Signing a clean Bill of Lading releases the carrier, and claims filed after one are routinely denied. If you refuse for a reason other than damage, or without contacting us first, return freight costs may become your responsibility.
Where it ships. Free freight covers standard residential curbside delivery within the contiguous 48 states. Hawaii, Alaska and Canada are not available at standard checkout, so contact us before ordering for a freight quote.
What does the warranty cover?
What does the warranty cover?
How long. The sauna room carries a 5-year limited warranty from the date of purchase: the wood structure when properly maintained, the control panel, control-panel harnesses and lights. The stove or heater is not included and carries its own manufacturer's warranty, which we confirm in writing with your order.
Commercial use. Commercial use reduces coverage to 1 year.
Outdoor placement. Outdoors, a waterproof cover or the sauna's roof panel must be installed. Unprotected outdoor exposure is not covered.
Parts, not labor. Replacement parts are covered; labor is not. Coverage applies to the original purchaser at the original installation address in the continental US or Canada, and is not transferable. Registration is required within 60 days of purchase. You prepay shipping, duties and taxes on warranty parts and insure anything returned.
What is not covered. Moisture or water seepage, outdoor installations not protected from weather including the glass door, lacquer or paint applied to the wood, modifications, and normal wear. Coverage requires an intact serial number and unaltered proof of purchase; minor surface cracks from natural wood movement are not considered defects.

What if I need to return it?
What if I need to return it?
30 days from delivery. The item must come back new, unused and in its original packaging with all components, hardware and accessories. Anything assembled, used or modified cannot be returned, and electronic components such as power supplies and control panels are non returnable under manufacturer policy regardless of condition.
What a return costs. The manufacturer may charge a 20 percent restocking fee, and you are responsible for the return freight. The original shipping cost is not deducted from your refund. Any storage or carrier routing fees incurred during the return are the buyer's responsibility.
Damaged on arrival. A different process, and you are fully protected. If you accepted the delivery and documented the damage on the Bill of Lading, we handle the freight claim and ship a replacement at no cost, with no restocking fee and no return shipping.
Cancelling before it ships. No fee as long as we have not yet submitted your order to the manufacturer. After we submit it but before it ships, an administrative fee of up to 5 percent may apply, and we waive it whenever we are not charged.
To start a return. Email your order number to sales@recoveryroomdirect.com and we issue a Return Merchandise Authorization number within one business day. Write it clearly on every box, because the warehouse will not accept returns without it. Refunds are issued within 5 business days of inspection.
Which brands. Applies to all Golden Designs Inc. brands: Dynamic Saunas, Maxxus Saunas and Dynamic Cold Therapy.

The Authentic Finnish Sauna Experience
Hanko 2–3-Person Traditional — Harvia wall stove, Canadian Hemlock exterior / Red Cedar interior construction, löyly steam ritual, chromotherapy.
The Hanko 2–3-Person Traditional features a Natural Reforested Canadian Hemlock exterior and Red Cedar interior — a dual-wood construction that combines hemlock’s light, neutral tone and dimensional stability with cedar’s natural aromatic warmth on the benches and walls where you sit. Where infrared saunas operate at 110–140°F, the Harvia wall stove reaches 150–190°F — intense, enveloping convective heat that produces a fundamentally different physiological experience.
The defining practice is löyly: pour water over the hot Harvia stones and the cabin fills with a burst of humid steam that softens skin, opens airways, and deepens the heat experience. Add multi-color chromotherapy lighting and Bluetooth audio and you have the complete Finnish sauna session — heat, steam, light, and sound in one integrated cabin. Call (888) 500-5675 if you want to compare traditional against our infrared models before deciding.
Harvia Wall Stove: Finnish Engineering at the Core
Harvia is a Finnish company founded in 1950 and recognized worldwide as the benchmark for sauna stove manufacturing. The wall-mounted design delivers heat uniformly through the full cabin volume while keeping floor space clear at every bench position. Dense mineral sauna rocks (kiuas) are loaded into the top of the stove — they absorb heat from the electric element and store it for steady, sustained heat delivery throughout your session.
To add löyly, pour a small amount of water over the hot kiuas. The water flash-vaporizes on contact with the stones, filling the cabin with a burst of humid steam that temporarily spikes perceived temperature and adds the humidity that defines the authentic Finnish sauna experience. Adjust intensity by pour size and frequency. Traditional Finnish practice involves multiple löyly rounds interspersed with short cooling breaks — a social rhythm that infrared sessions alone cannot replicate.
Interior and exterior digital control panels let you start preheat before entering the cabin and adjust temperature mid-session without stepping out. Preheat time to full operating temperature is typically 30–45 minutes — start before you shower or stretch and arrive to a ready cabin.
Hanko Traditional Sauna Features
Every Hanko 2–3-Person Traditional delivers the complete traditional Finnish sauna experience from the first session.
Harvia Wall Stove
Harvia is a Finnish brand founded in 1950 — the global standard for professional sauna stove manufacturing. The wall-mounted 6kW stove delivers even convective heat through all seating positions while keeping the floor clear. Dense mineral sauna rocks absorb heat from the electric element and store it for sustained sessions. Pour water over the hot stones for löyly: the steam ritual at the center of Finnish sauna culture.
Multi-Color Chromotherapy
Multi-color LED chromotherapy is built into the cabin and controlled from the interior digital panel. The oversize interior chromotherapy system includes a Red Light Therapy function for targeted wavelength sessions. Cycle through colors passively during your heat session without any additional setup.
Canadian Hemlock Exterior, Red Cedar Interior
Natural Reforested Canadian Hemlock forms the exterior structure — light, neutral tone, low resin content, dimensionally stable under repeated heating. The interior benches, walls, and backrest are Canadian Red Cedar, bringing natural aromatic warmth to every session. Both woods handle repeated heating to 150–190°F without warping, splitting, or off-gassing.
Hanko 2–3P Hemlock vs. Sundsvall 2P Cedar vs. Forssa 3–4P Hemlock
All three share Red Cedar interiors, chromotherapy, Bluetooth audio, and the same Finnish sauna core. Exterior wood and seating capacity are the deciding variables.

Honest take: Hanko and Sundsvall are the same 2–3-person traditional sauna with the same 6kW Harvia stove and Red Cedar interior. The only difference is the exterior wood — Canadian Hemlock (light, neutral, low-resin) vs. Pacific Cedar (aromatic, warm-toned). Choose Hanko if you want the classic hemlock look. Step up to the Forssa if you regularly need 3–4 seats — it uses an 8kW stove and has a noticeably larger footprint.

Delivery & Installation
Free Curbside Delivery
Your Golden Designs sauna ships free to the contiguous 48 states via insured LTL freight. The carrier places the palletized shipment at your curb or driveway. Typical transit: 5–14 business days after shipment. Plan for help moving panels inside.
Delivery Day — Inspect Before Signing
Before signing the delivery receipt, inspect all outer packaging carefully. If any box or pallet is damaged, note it on the receipt and photograph everything before signing. Freight claims require documented damage at time of delivery. Call (888) 500-5675 immediately if damage is found.
Assembly & Electrical
Panel assembly takes 3–5 hours for two adults with basic tools. The Harvia stove requires a licensed electrician for the dedicated 240V circuit — this is not a DIY step. Call (888) 500-5675 for pre-installation electrical guidance before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What electrical circuit does this sauna require?
Golden Designs traditional saunas require two dedicated circuits: a 240V circuit for the Harvia stove (30A for 2-person models with a 6kW stove; 40A for 3-person and 6-person models with an 8kW stove) and a separate 120V / 15A circuit for lighting, audio, and controls. A licensed electrician must connect the stove circuit. Call (888) 500-5675 before ordering to confirm the exact requirements for your specific model and local code.
Is chromotherapy lighting included?
Yes. Multi-color LED chromotherapy is included and controlled from the interior digital panel. Cycle through wavelengths passively during your sauna session — no additional hardware required.
What is löyly and how does the steam process work?
Löyly (pronounced “loo-loo”) is the Finnish practice of pouring water over hot sauna stones to generate steam. The Harvia wall stove heats dense mineral rocks to high temperature — when water contacts the hot stones it flash-vaporizes, filling the cabin with a burst of humid steam that temporarily spikes perceived temperature. Start with a small ladle pour and adjust to preference. The Harvia stove’s stone capacity determines how sustained the steam response is between pours.
How does traditional sauna compare to infrared sauna?
Traditional sauna heats the full cabin air to 150–190°F using convective heat from the Harvia electric stove, and allows löyly — steam from water poured over hot stones. Infrared saunas use radiant panels to warm the body directly at lower cabin temperatures (110–140°F) with no steam option. Both deliver wellness benefits through different mechanisms. Traditional is the authentic Finnish protocol; infrared targets deep radiant tissue warming at lower temperatures. Neither is universally superior — the right choice depends on your preferred session style.
How long does assembly take and what tools are required?
Two adults can complete panel assembly in approximately 3–5 hours using a screwdriver, rubber mallet, and level. Panels are pre-cut, pre-drilled, and numbered for sequence. The Harvia stove requires a licensed electrician for the dedicated 240V circuit connection — this step is not DIY. Assembly instructions are included. Call (888) 500-5675 to talk through the full installation process before ordering.
What does free shipping include?
Free shipping covers insured curbside LTL freight delivery to the contiguous 48 states. The carrier delivers to your curb or driveway. Moving panels inside, assembly, and stove electrical connection are buyer responsibilities. Plan for two people on delivery day. Call (888) 500-5675 with logistics or site access questions before ordering.
What is the return and warranty policy?
Golden Designs traditional saunas are covered by a manufacturer’s limited warranty — call (888) 500-5675 for current warranty terms on your specific model. Returns require prior written authorization. Return freight is the buyer’s responsibility for non-defective products. If a product arrives damaged, document it with photos and note it on the delivery receipt before signing — freight claims require documented damage at delivery.
