Inside a Round Cube
The Round Cube, sized for a smaller yard.
When we first experienced the Leil Round Cube in Estonia, we were blown away by the sensory experience: the smell of its juniper wall and a HUUM wood stove, inside that curved Thermowood shell. Up close, the quality blew us away too.
The Mini is the smallest Round Cube: one room, 86 inches wide, with the same glass front, black shingle shell and three-level aspen benches. The upper bench runs the full width of the back wall, and a side bench turns the corner into an L.
Layout and seating
One room. An L of benches.
The upper bench runs 80 inches across the back wall and is 23 inches deep, long enough for someone up to 6 ft 8 in tall to lie down. A 20-inch-deep side bench and a lower step complete the L. Leil seats up to four in the Mini 2.0 and five in the 2.4.
The 2.4 is 16 inches deeper than the 2.0. That depth goes into a longer side bench, more floor in front of the benches and one more seat.

The construction behind the comfort
Built for life outdoors, from the roof to the base.
The Round Cube shell is Thermowood, wood that has been thermally modified to take up less moisture and move less with the seasons. A black shingle roof and black-painted arches wrap the curved shape.
- 1 ½ in Thermowood walls
- Thermal modification reduces moisture absorption and wood movement, so the walls keep their fit through wet and dry seasons.
- A black shingle roof
- Shingles cover the curved roof and keep rain and snow off the wooden shell.
- Mirrored, tempered glass front
- Double mirror glass, ¾ in thick, with a tempered glass door and handle. Black and bronze glass are the alternatives.
- Three-level aspen benches
- Aspen benches with bench skirts and backrests, the pale wood you see in Leil’s photos.
- Ventilation openings
- Three to four openings bring in fresh air during a session and help the room dry afterward.
- A painted base frame
- Black-painted base frame and moldings. Leil’s manual sets the sauna above ground, with a water-resistant strip such as bitumen between its legs and the base.
Why we insist on thermally modified wood
We’ve seen outdoor sauna kits develop gaps and cracks as their wood expanded and contracted. A year later, what looked like a heater struggling to keep up was heat escaping through those gaps.
That experience changed what we sell. For our solid-wood outdoor saunas, we choose thermally modified wood for its stability and durability: a tighter fit through the seasons and less heat escaping through gaps.

Delivery and assembly, explained up front.
01
Check access and the base
The Mini 2.0 is 86 × 81 in and the 2.4 is 86 × 97 in, plus room for the door to open. Leil ships the kit in a crate 4 ft wide, 4 ft high and 7 ft 4 ¾ in long (2.0) or 8 ft ½ in long (2.4), so plan a route from the curb to the sauna’s spot.
02
Budget beyond the kit
Curbside freight to the lower 48 states is $1,190 per sauna, added at checkout. Freight does not include unloading, moving the kit into your yard or assembly. Tax, base preparation and electrical work are separate.
03
Plan the electrical work
Choose your heater first. Your electrician uses that heater’s HUUM manual for the circuit, wiring and control placement.
We confirm your delivery window with Leil when you order. When the crate arrives, inspect it and note any visible damage with the carrier before you sign.

Questions
Questions about the Round Cube Mini.
Do you offer installation?
We don’t install saunas ourselves, but we have installers and electricians we’ve worked with before, and we can recommend them in most areas. Send us your ZIP code and we’ll check who’s near you. You hire them directly.
What does the price cover?
The sauna kit for the size you choose, before the heater package and shipping. Each heater package adds a HUUM heater, its UKU Wi-Fi control, the stones it needs and its safety rail. Choose sauna only if you are supplying your own suitable heater.
How many people fit, and can I lie down?
Leil seats up to four in the Mini 2.0 and five in the 2.4. In both, the upper bench runs 80 inches across the back wall, long enough for someone up to 6 ft 8 in tall to lie down.
Which size should I choose?
The 2.0 is 86 × 81 in and seats four. The 2.4 is 86 × 97 in and seats five, with a longer side bench and more floor. Both have the same 80-inch upper bench.
Which heater should I choose?
We recommend the HIVE Mini 9 for the Mini 2.0, and the HIVE Mini 9 or HIVE Mini 10.6 for the Mini 2.4. Every package runs on 240 V: the HIVE Mini 9 draws 37.5 A, the HIVE Mini 10.6 draws 43.75 A, each on a 50 A breaker, per HUUM’s US manuals.
What base does it need?
A level, stable base with drainage under the sauna’s support points. Leil lists the Mini 2.0 at 1,984 lb and the 2.4 at 2,183 lb, before the heater, stones and bathers. Leil’s manual sets the sauna above ground level, with a water-resistant strip such as bitumen between its legs and the base. A deck needs its load capacity checked for the finished sauna, heater and bathers.
Which glass should I choose?
Mirror glass is Leil’s standard front. Black and bronze glass are tinted alternatives, and all three are the same price.
What is the juniper back wall?
Rounds of juniper set into the wall behind the benches: the patterned wall in Leil’s photos. Juniper brings its own natural scent and texture to the room. It’s the smell we remember from the Round Cube at Leil.
Can I assemble it myself?
The Round Cube Mini ships as a kit for assembly on site, with Leil’s assembly manual below. A licensed electrician connects the heater.
How do I care for the wood?
Leil’s manual has you treat the interior walls and oil the benches before first use, then once or twice a year. Kits arrive without an exterior coating, so coat the outside after assembly and again about two months later. Leave the door open after a session so the room dries, and clear heavy snow from the roof.
What warranty applies?
Leil’s Round Cube manual gives 24 months on material and production defects from delivery, on the condition that Leil assembles the sauna. Talk with us about coverage for a kit you or your builder assemble.
