Short answer: this is a single red cedar hook for a robe or towel, priced at $41. It mounts on any flat surface, inside or outside the sauna. It does one small job, and $41 is a lot for one hook, so buy it for the matching wood or skip it.
Inside or outside the cabin?
Outside is the better place for a robe. Fabric left in a 180°F room gets hot and damp, and a robe you put on after your session should be dry. Mount the hook on the outer wall near the door, or on the porch if your barrel has one.
Inside, a hook is useful for a small towel or a sauna hat. Keep anything hung inside well away from the heater.
How do you mount it?
The listing says any flat surface. On a barrel, the walls are curved staves, so use the flat end wall near the door. Use a short screw. Sauna walls on the models we list are about 1⅜” to 1.75” thick, and a screw that pokes through the other side is a burn and snag hazard.
Don’t drive screws near wiring for lights or controls. If you are unsure where it runs, mount the hook outside.
Run the numbers
One hook is $41. A household of four needs two to four hooks, which is $82 to $164. That is the point where a generic row of wooden pegs makes more sense. The reason to pay for this one is that the red cedar matches an Almost Heaven cabin.
What the listing leaves out
Our data doesn’t include the hook’s size, its weight limit, or whether mounting hardware is in the box. Ask Select Saunas before ordering.

The Almost Heaven backrest is the other comfort accessory from this brand, at $149. Bottom line: a finishing touch for an Almost Heaven sauna. For where hooks and other small items belong, read Sauna Hooks and Small Extras: Where Things Go.
