METTÄ TESTIMONIAL: A happy customer explains it better than we ever could!

Ok, we're not crying - you are (insert crying emoji here). For those who are "authentic Finnish" Sauna converts, you know what we are talking about when we speak about how much sauna can transform your life for the better. For those of you who are trying to decide if you believe all the hype, we offer you to take a look at Suzan's testimonial below. We recently built a custom Mettä outdoor sauna for Suzan and her family with our partner, TMBR Structures. Here's what she had to say:

​Hello Juho!

I wanted to let you know this past weekend we used the sauna for the very first time. We wanted to have the "inaugural" sauna together...as we felt it was an important and meaningful event to all be together in the sauna for the first time.

Juho....what can I say other than the sauna experience was simply luxurious, glorious, therapeutic, and addictive!! I cannot begin to tell you how much I (all of us) enjoyed it!! The stove worked incredibly well and is perfect for heat generation for the space. We reached the maximum temperature with ease and we all handled the temp very well. We went in/out about 4 times, following your instructions as to how long to stay in.

We sat on the benches....laid down....talked....meditated in silence...[J] even did a few stretches standing up!! The fire crackled and you could smell the cedar. I was transported to another world!

As you mentioned, the heat was a gentle heat and we certainly felt that; it was not searing at all and felt very healing. We tried different types of wood to see which type worked best. I lit the inside with candles (although there is a good amount of light from the stove itself) and I put candles on the deck so we could find our way down to the sauna in the dark and enjoy the ambiance.

All of your recommendations/suggestions were perfect (i.e. footrests, steps going up to the benches, railing to grab on to when stepping down, upper bench hotter than lower bench...). I know I questioned you on some of those items and you were very patient with me...but you were right, Juho!!

When cooling off, we sat outside and looked up at the night sky and stars...I felt I was in a Travel Alberta Promotional Video!! The stressors of my very busy life evaporated and I was transported to another world!

To be honest, I was not anticipating I would love the experience so much! I had a sauna experience in another town...and I much prefer the sauna that we now get to call our own.  Having a sauna is all I can think about now and can hardly wait to have the next one! 

Juho, you are a master at your craft. I cannot put into words how much I appreciated your impeccable attention to detail, your willingness to present and discuss options that fit within our price range and style preferences, your ability to clarify discussion points when I felt overwhelmed with decisions that needed to be made, your calm and gentle demeanor, your desire to get everything "just right", your willingness to follow up in the future if we had concerns or problems and your incredible work ethic. I know you worked some very long days to ensure you stayed on track with build timelines. You have taken my satisfaction with life to a new level and I can't thank you enough for that!

With tremendous gratitude,

Suzan S, a VERY happy Kamu customer ❤️
