Now that I finally have the Dynamic Monaco 6-person sauna assembled, it does a good job of making me sweat. Putting it together also made me sweat.
The delivery was interesting. The delivery guy wanted to leave the 800 pound pallet in the road in front of my driveway. After considerable effort, we were able to have it dropped off on the end of my driveway. The next challenge was moving the boxes. One of the boxes weighed 108kgs (238lbs). The large, awkward boxes were very difficult to move without handles or sufficiently strong strapping.
The sauna components we packed in plenty of protective material so everything survived shipping just fine.
I read somewhere that this sauna can be assembled in 1 hour. That wasn't even close to my experience. It was closer to 5 hours with 4 guys. If you were setting this up in the middle of a large room and everything went perfect, you might be able to set it up in an hour. The room I was assembling the sauna in was about 6 inches wider than the assembled sauna and I wanted it against the back wall. After laying the floor panel down where I wanted the sauna, we assembled the back and two side walls about 10 feet in front of the floor. The buckles that connect these pieces were extremely cheap. The idea of the buckles was fine but two of six buckles broke before we during assembly. After fixing with a few short sheetrock screws, we were able to move on.
We then picked up the 3 connected wall pieces (this is where the 4 guys comes in handy) and carefully walked the assembly back to the floor panel and set them in place. You would think this would be the most difficult piece - not so.
The front (glass) panel was very heavy probably 200lbs. The cleats that hold the front panel on the side walls were installed upside down. After flipping them around, getting the front panel on was challenging. It required persuasion from a large rubber mallet.
Overall, the instructions for setup were horrible. Both the text and the pictures were practically useless. The instructions for installing the electronics were even worse.
Now that the sauna is setup, I like it. It is easy to use, heats up quickly, and is plenty comfortable. I look forward to using it for many years to come
