Shipping & Delivery Information

Free Delivery Damage Insurance Included With Purchase

 Curbside Delivery ships via Freight to the 48 contiguous states. The freight carrier will contact you 24 to 48 hours prior to delivery to set a delivery day and time Monday-Friday, with a 4-hour open window.

      They won’t deliver without speaking to you first. **Shipping times are only approximate, and can change depending on environmental conditions, transit issues, and carrier’s availability. Last minute appointments can occur, and it’s out of our hands since the delivery process is managed by the carrier’s. The sauna will be delivered in 1 box or more, depending on the model. All boxes will be strapped to a pallet. All saunas are delivered in a 53-foot semi-truck with a single driver, who will unload the pallet to your curbside or driveway only. Any delivery questions or issues (remote areas, long driveways, large and low hanging trees, apartment complex, stairs, etc.) should be addressed with us prior to shipping your sauna.

        Once the driver has unloaded the sauna, we ask that you immediately inspect the boxes for any damage. Please indicate any minor scratches, indentations, or scuff marks to the outside of the boxes on the delivery receipt. You do not need to open the boxes to inspect the sauna. The freight company will deliver your sauna to a carport or first-floor entryway. Please check the box dimensions and ensure it will fit through your doorway. Assembly on these saunas are surprisingly easy and can take between 30-45 minutes, depending on the sauna. Assembly instructions are included with the saunas.

Indoor Far Infrared Sauna

Golden Designs Limited Edition 6 Person Near Zero EMF Far Infrared Sauna (GDI-6996-02)

Sixteen far infrared carbon panels behind a bronze tinted tempered glass sliding door. The GDI-6996-02 shares its interior box with Golden Designs' Monaco — 68 by 57 inches with 72 inches of headroom — and differs in four ways that matter: one more heating panel, a sliding door, an interior LED control panel, and a shell four inches shorter overall.

Golden Designs specify no near infrared elements on this cabin. Heat comes entirely from PureTech Near Zero EMF far infrared carbon panels, controlled from an interior LED panel, in a natural reforested Canadian hemlock shell with a roof vent and clasp-together assembly. One note on the name: Limited Edition is our description. Golden Designs' own title for this model is simply a 6 Person Near Zero EMF Far IR Sauna.

The Build

The Sliding-Door Six

Golden Designs build two far infrared cabins around the same 68 by 57 inch interior. Four specification points separate this one from the Monaco, and the door is only the most visible of them.

🚪
Bronze Tinted Sliding Door
Golden Designs' feature list gives this cabin a bronze tinted tempered glass sliding door. That is the wording they use, and it is the one point of the door specification they publish — there is no opening width and no swing dimension on their sheet.
Tempered Glass
🔆
16 PureTech Carbon Panels
Sixteen PureTech Near Zero EMF far infrared carbon heating panels, one more than the Monaco carries, with no near infrared elements specified. Golden Designs state EMF under 3MG measured 2 to 3 inches from the heating panels.
Far Infrared Only

Interior LED Control Panel
Control is an interior LED panel. Alongside it Golden Designs fit a DVD player with FM radio, Bluetooth and an MP3 auxiliary connection running to built-in speakers.

Specification In Detail

Two Areas Worth Understanding Before You Order

Golden Designs GDI-6996-02 6 person near zero EMF far infrared sauna
The Shell

Same Room, Four Inches Less Cabinet

Golden Designs give this cabin a 75-inch exterior height over a 72-inch interior — three inches of shell. The Monaco fits the identical 72-inch interior under a 79-inch exterior. Read that as four inches of ceiling clearance you get back, and check it against the room you have in mind. Both figures are Golden Designs' own and we publish them as stated.

  • Exterior 73" W × 61" D × 75" H
  • Interior 68" W × 57" D × 72" H
  • Roof overhang adds 6 inches to the depth
  • Bronze tinted tempered glass sliding door
  • Sauna weight 750 lbs, shipping weight 965 lbs, ships in 5 boxes

Heat & Power

Sixteen Panels On Two Twenty Amp Circuits

Golden Designs describe the array as sixteen PureTech Near Zero EMF far infrared carbon heating panels with no near infrared elements. Powering them takes two separate dedicated 20 amp 120 volt outlets on two separate 20 amp breakers, non GFCI, and Golden Designs print an explicit note in the same line that this is not a 220/240V appliance.

  • 16 PureTech Near Zero EMF far infrared carbon heating panels
  • Golden Designs' EMF figure: under 3MG at 2 to 3 inches from the panels
  • 2 separate dedicated 20 amp 120 volt outlets on 2 separate 20 amp breakers
  • Non GFCI dedicated receptacle and breaker; Golden Designs state expressly: not 220/240V
  • Golden Designs give 118°F to 132°F as the ideal range, heating to 140°F
  • Indoor use only
Dual 120V / 20 AMP PureTech

The Golden Designs Infrared Lineup

The Top Half Of The Range

Above four seats, Golden Designs' infrared cabins divide by heating philosophy and by electrical service. This one sits with the Monaco in the far-infrared group on 120V circuits; the eight-person rooms move to a 240V feed.

Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Golden Designs' specification line reads 6 Person capacity, and that is the figure we publish. We publish no capacity range for this cabin, because a phrase describing it as accommodating up to four people has also circulated in the descriptive copy — it conflicts with the specification on the same page, and neither we nor Golden Designs can settle it from the paperwork alone. It is on our list to put to them. The interior is 68" W × 57" D × 72" H, so you can judge the room for yourself.
The interior box is identical at 68" × 57" × 72". Four things differ: this cabin has 16 far infrared panels against the Monaco's 15; a bronze tinted tempered glass sliding door against the Monaco's glass door; an interior LED control panel against the Monaco's touch screen; and a 75-inch exterior height against the Monaco's 79. It also ships heavier, at 965 lbs in 5 boxes against 840 lbs in 4.
No. Golden Designs specify far infrared carbon panels only, with no near infrared elements. For near IR, look at their Reserve Edition cabins, which list near IR elements as a separate line on the spec sheet.
Under 3MG measured 2 to 3 inches from the heating panels, as stated by Golden Designs. Golden Designs have also published an older explainer describing their Low EMF models at 5 to 10 milligauss and their Ultra Low EMF models at 3 to 5 milligauss. That explainer describes different, lower grades of panel and contradicts the Near Zero specification on this cabin, so we have left it off this page entirely.
Two separate dedicated 20 amp 120 volt outlets on two separate 20 amp breakers, non GFCI. Golden Designs state in the same line that this is not a 220/240V appliance, and ask that you consult a certified electrician. Recovery For Athletes recommends pricing that work before you order.
No. This is an infrared cabin with no stove. Items like a sandglass, bucket and ladle have appeared on our own included-items list for this product in the past; they belong to traditional stove saunas and do not ship with this one.
Golden Designs specify a DVD player with FM radio, Bluetooth and an MP3 auxiliary connection with built-in speakers, and note that the smart screen function requires a separately purchased Amazon Firestick. They publish no screen size and no speaker count, so neither appears here.
Free curbside delivery via freight to the 48 contiguous states, with free delivery damage insurance included. The freight carrier contacts you 24 to 48 hours ahead to set a day and time Monday through Friday inside a 4-hour window, and will not deliver without speaking to you first. The sauna arrives strapped to a pallet on a 53-foot semi-truck with a single driver, who unloads to your curbside or driveway only. This cabin ships in 5 boxes at 965 lbs total, and the driver's job ends at the curb — arrange help and a route indoors in advance. Raise anything unusual about your access — long driveway, low branches, stairs, apartment complex — with us before the sauna ships. When the driver unloads, inspect the boxes and note any scratches, dents, or scuff marks on the delivery receipt. You do not need to open the boxes to do that.
Golden Designs cover the heating elements and electronics for 5 years in residential use and 1 year in commercial use, and the wood structure for 1 year. The warranty covers parts and not labour. It applies to indoor installation only — Golden Designs state that placing the sauna outdoors voids it. It is not transferable and ends on owner transfer or relocation. Golden Designs ask that warranty shipping be prepaid by the owner, and that the warranty be registered within 60 days of purchase. Recovery For Athletes is an authorized Golden Designs dealer. Full terms are in the Warranty tab.
Golden Designs state no country of manufacture. Their published position is that the range is designed and developed at their California headquarters and that they work directly with manufacturers to produce their FAR infrared line. We will not go further than they do.
