Brabantia Solid Steam Iron Rest with Ivory Frame, Moving Circles, 25mm



Built like the proverbial brick ****house.
UPDATED: This board is about 1.5' x 4.5' or size C. I originally wrote that this was a size D, which is incorrect. Thank you, Steve!

Here's a lesson about ironing boards. They come in four sizes; A, B, C and D. Size A is the smallest at 110x30 cm (about 39 x 11.8"), size B is 124x38cm (about 48.8"x15"), size C is 124x45cm (about 48.8"x17.7") and size D tops 'em at 135x45cm (about 53.1"x17.7"). Putting it differently, you have the itty bitty size A, size B and C are the same length at about 4' but B is narrower, and size C and D are the same width, about 1.5' but D is six inches longer.

How do you justify spending $150 on an ironing board?
You justify $150 for an ironing board by trying all the cheaper ones from Target and Walmart. You find the cheap ones wobble, fall over, are lumpy, and the covers are thin and create more wrinkles than they remove.
This ironing board is wonderful, wide, and sturdy.
My only complaint (and the reason for only four stars) was the cover. It is not well made and I had to repair it before I could use it.

An Excellent Buy!
A very sturdy and stable ironing board. It has the extra wide width on it. It doesn't wobble and has everything
a good ironing board must have. It has the lock that keeps it folded up when not in use and a height adjustment on it. Pricey, but worth
the money!
