Brilliant company, 1st Direct pools

I ordered this for my friend Kathleen, she instructed me to write this review on her behalf as followed:

I am absolutely amazed with the very quick delivery and the product (Sauna) I received. In my experience, this is a very good exceptional company. Customer service second to none. Big thank you for your service and the quality of the sauna at the very good price I paid (cheap).
Thumbs up
