I bought this sauna years ago and ended up moving out of State and taking it with me. It was easy to set up, and worked like a charm for years...Then for our move, we broke it down, packed it, and re-set it up. It still works like new and I use it all of the time. Keep in mind that it takes a different kind of electrical outlet, but an electrician can install that easily. We haven't paid more that $125 for installation of the new outlet. Also, I have covered the bench and the foot area with a towel while using it. The wood is still in perfect condition without sweat stains. I would definitely recommend doing that as well.
