Built as a cabin rather than an appliance, this two-person steam room arrives as a stack of panelled walls, a glazed door and a stove, and goes together inside a normal bathroom or basement corner. The footprint is close to four feet square, so it fits where a shower cubicle would sit, and the walls rise to a little over six feet, tall enough for most adults to stand while dressing. Inside, a slatted bench runs along the back wall at a height that leaves the legs hanging free, and the heater is fenced off with matching slats so nobody brushes against hot metal. An eight millimetre glass door keeps the interior visible from the room, which makes a small enclosed space feel less boxed in. Three strips of light run across the ceiling and a fourth runs behind the backrest, giving enough glow to read by without a lamp. The stove draws three kilowatts at 240 volts and a thermostat holds the cabin anywhere between roughly 68 and 149 degrees Fahrenheit, so the same room can be used for a gentle warm-up or a full Finnish-style session.
