Pro Compact Ironing Board with Hanger Rack 18 x 54 Inches Space Saving, Folding, 4 Legs IB9100,Beige

What a great board. I know, one does not really put much thought into an ironing board, as it appears all are quite the same and only the size of the surface differs, however, this is not the case for this board. If you want to put even a few moments of thought into your ironing board, think on this one. It is extremely heavy duty, no wobbling or rocking while ironing or moving clothes on the board. It is extremely easy to use as all the buttons you need to push to unfold and fold are clearly marked and are quite large. The legs are very sturdy without being heavy and they fold and unfold with ease as the lever is quite large and responsive. The entire system (I hate to call it an ironing board as I feel it really diminished the true nature of this piece of equipment :) functions wonderfully with room for any size iron (I have a large steam iron with side tank that rests wonderfully on the shelf below). The surface is extremely large and allows for ironing large dress shirts, skirts, dresses, etc. with little movement and in short order. I can iron my husbands 16 1/2 x 34 size dress shirts with about four moves and in less than one minute (I have a good iron as well) When not in use, you can fold the entire thing into a very short and compact space - making it easy to put anywhere when not in use - it even has wheels to help you move it, although it is not very heavy and can be lifted easily - the wheels are just a bonus I think!! If you cannot tell from the review, I think this is a great board and worth every dollar spent. This is not one of those high end purchases where you later think you should not have bothered - rather, I wonder how I went so long without this board and recommend it it to all of my friends who have to iron as it makes the task much easier!!

I bought this because it was a good deal, still was very expensive for an iron board, but I like quality products so I clicked that buy button. I also bought the steam iron from Rowenta. And for steam irons you gotta have the ironing board with vent "holes" as this one so the steam can escape. Upon arrival I inspected the product and found something very interesting. It says "made in Europe" but doesn't specify in what country it was manufactured. Then for the first time I set it up. After reading the reviews and watching how tos on YouTube, I wasn't expecting it to be too difficult. But I had no idea that this iron board has 2 BUTTONS. They colored in blue hue and watch out for those. One is used when you setting up the board; and it's located on the top. And the other located on the bottom and you will need it to fold the long leg in two. Other than that it's straight forward. Want to mention the quality of the product. As you may guess for this price it's a great quality product. And quick note about the sturdiness. It's very sturdy and can hold according to the instructions up to 90 lbs, howerer manufacturer advices not to use this board as a table. Also when I was "pressing" my dress pants I noticed that the tip of the board is not that sturdy so I kind of went easy on it. But in the middle and the end it's solid. ** things to keep in mind ** - As was mentioned before me the folding part of the board is not made of metal, it's plastic. I use it personally as my iron resting place. - the metal thing at the end that's designed to hold your iron has some rubber things wrapped around them in the middle. I don't know if I should rest my iron on them or should I take them off. No instructions at all about that part. Instruction are very basic I should say. I would have preferred just a flat surface so I can rest my iron on its heel. But I just use the end of the ironing board itself. But if you do decide to use it, you have to your iron at an angle as shown in the pictures not flat on top. So the hell will go on bottom and the tip of the iron will end up on the top of the metal "thingy".

This is a great foldable ironing board. Our last one broke after 2 years (the parts started falling off). Purchased another one Jan 6th., pulled it out and 2 parts fell off - and now won’t stay. I would NOT recommend this ironing board. We typically use the ironing board once a week — so this alike have lasted more than 6 weeks!!! I called Rowenta and I need to send back the ironing board for them to review if they will replace it. NOT easy to package up an ironing board. Save yourself the time and energy!!

Very nice, sturdy and compact board

The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is because the iron holder on the end is raised up above the ironing board thus making it hard to get the iron close to that end. I wish it were designed so that it was either flush with or below the top of the board. I cut a towel the shape of the board and put it under the cover to give it more padding, I get better results that way. It’s super sturdy and nice and wide.

Yes, it's an investment, but this is a great ironing board. We kept our last one for 35 years, so figured this would amortize well! It is sturdy, height is great. A bit wider than some ironing boards, which is good for us. It is just a bit heavy, and of course costly, but well worth it. I don't like flimsy ironing boards. And, it arrived in 2 days - Amazon is amazing.

For a $200 board this thing should be perfect. Unfortunately it isn't. Okay so let's start with what's good. The size is perfect both length and width. The weight is just want I needed. I've been using a cheap Walmart board and I'm about done with stepping on a leg to prevent it from sliding away from me or tipping over. The Rowenta is made with good materials although a piece of silicone fell off it on the very first day and I have no idea where it came from. I love how you able to fold it down and make it compact for storage as well. What I don't like about the board and it's something that's core to the experience and output is the fact that it's not flat. The undulation caused the iron to rock over your garments preventing you from ironing properly. This is the single biggest drawback for me and I hate that it does that. It's also the one area I didn't have to worry about with my old $20 board.

Love the size and the fact that is has a place for my tank
