Household Essentials in‑Wall Recessed Ironing Board Cabinet with Storage Shelves, White Finish

This works well, installs in a snap. I had it in the wall within 45 minutes of delivery! Plenty of room for the iron and the spray water bottle most of us use while ironing.The directions leave a bit to be desired (they mostly all do these days, so this may help. You'll need the following tools to install this ironing board cabinet:Stud finderSheetrock sawDrill and bit setPhillips screwdriver or power screwdriver2' levelTape measurePencilVacuum cleanerI strongly suggest that you choose the location carefully as you are going to recess this into a wall. Be sure there is no electrical wires or plumbing pipes in the wall cavity you are installing this into. Also, if your interior wall that you have selected has studs on 24" centers you'll need to frame the opening down to 14 1/2" in order to mount the cabinet.The door attachment to the recessed cabinet is a little tricky to do by yourself, you may want to have someone give you a hand holding the door in place while you screw it in. Be sure to drill the holes into the cabinet BEFORE you install it into the wall or you'll struggle to get the door to hang properly.My wife loves the ironing board out of the way and easy to access. In addition, right out of the box it looks great on the wall.

Well packaged and mostly assembled. Door appears to be molded mdf with a textured vinyl wrap on the outside. I made to mistake of dropping it while mounting the door to the frame which tweaked the corner more easily than I would have expected - so be very careful handling it and be sure to install the door before mounting the frame into the wall. It would have been nice to have door hinge pilot holes on both sides of the cabinet to ease door instal regardless of which side you choose to mount it on. Also took me a bit to understand how to mount the hinges to the door since the hinges are a bit unusual. However once I figured it out it was easy and effective. The board itself and the internal mechanism works well so far and no issue with the fit of the board cover. The back is somewhat flimsy but that is pretty inconsequential since it’s buried in the wall. Overall a decent unit for the price point

Bought this for our new house. The builder installed it during construction. It is just the right size and does just what I wanted it to do. Nice cabinet in excellent condition. We had an outlet installed below the cabinet for the iron. It has a metal inside corner to store the hot iron if necessary. Only problem is that the hole for the bolt that attaches the board to the swivel stand was bored from the wrong side. So they had to install the board wrong side up. (Otherwise, the bolt would protrude above the board and you wouldn't be able to skim the iron over the surface without running into the bolt.) The only downside is the edges of the board's bottom are angled rather than rounded like the top side, so it will probably wear out the cover more rapidly. But I don't use it for heavy duty ironing, just what I plan to wear that day, so not too worried.

Good news:-- We found the instructions to be clear.-- All components were present and the hardware was appropriate.-- Installed product looks good and works well.Bad news:-- The predrilled holes in the door for the hinge hardware were wayyyy too tiny for screwing into oak. We had to predrill a larger diameter.-- One set of predrilled holes was "off" in its placement in one direction. We used the hinge as a template, marked our own, and re-did the predrilled holes.-- I wanted a natural oak finish -- just urethane. The unfinished oak (door and trim) needed a *lot* of sanding before it was appropriate to brush on the urethane.-- There were a series of deep knicks along the top edge of the door (I'm tall-ish, I would see it after installation) that needed heavy sanding to make less obvious.-- There was a defect in the oak trim of the "box" where an edge was splintering off. Again, more sanding to at least avoid injury in the future.I'm not talking about minor imperfections vs unreasonable standards of a perfectionist. I'm talking about shoddy work in the manufacturer's wood shop that one could fix but, for the price and the advertising claims, I didn't expect to have to do that much!

Creatively built nice. 👍🏻I would suggest they should put an electrical outlet box also.

This is a decent design and functions well enough (the MDF ironing "board" is a bit floppy and we may add a bit more padding under the cover). Given few decent alternatives it may be the best at this price point.That said, the craftsmanship and some of the materials choices seem more like 7th grade shop class than a professionally manufactured item. Too many shortcuts, where a few cents spent on better materials and attentive assembly could have made a better product for little or no additional cost:- The interior box is plywood with a paper thin face veneer. This means it tended to lift up one of the shelves and it is much too thin to take a clear finish or stain without a blotchy appearance. A better ply should be used.- The oak door is reasonably nice, but ours came with a large defect on the inside panel, a small defect on the outside panel, and wood not well matched in the frame (it took extra effort in staining to get all the frame pieces the same tone). Rather than sending out lousy doors and replacing them when customers complain, the manufacturer should get them right the first time. In our case, we'll live with the defects, since there seems to be no guarantee a new door will be any better.- The screws are very cheap -- three of the heads snapped off during installation. Better screws and hinges might add a few cents to the cost.- The metal heat shield is crudely attached, with staples through the aluminum and into the wood. The unit would be easier to stain or paint inside if this were attached with screws or, later, with brads -- I'd rather spend a minute attaching it than taking care to stain or paint around it.- While the door and surround are actual oak, there is an oak-like trim around the sides. This is actually MDF (dense particle board) with another paper thin veneer, in oak. The main problem with these side pieces was the amateurish construction -- one piece was 1/8" too long and the whole thing was fastened with gaps and discrepancies where it fit the face frame. The interior box was stapled to this from the inside. Given the thin veneer over MDF, attempting to sand things even is likely to end in disaster. There's really no good excuse for the sloppy assembly.- In addition, the trim from the face panel back to the wall is incomplete at the top and bottom -- presumably because most people won't see this unless they are tall (top trim) or bend down (bottom trim). However, it will trap dust at the pocket that's left at the top and it does show as missing from the sides if your wall isn't perfectly flat. How much more would a few square inches of oak faced MDF cost?One point I'd add for those with 6" studs is that the side trim pieces can be trimmed back about 1" to set the unit deeper in the wall (if you have 2x6 rather than 2x4 studs). At least 1" of side panel looks necessary to hold the face frame. You can also fill in your own missing top and bottom trim pieces. This is what we did, and having the whole unit an inch deeper in the wall looks better to us.Overall, the ironing board looks and works well enough when all is said and done. However, the manufacturer should be ashamed at the many shortcuts in quality and execution -- all of which could easily be avoided.

LOVE,LOVE,LOVE My Stowaway Ironing Board. Well Made, Easy to Install, Convenient to Use, Holds Iron perfectly!!

Absolute garbage build quality!!! Garbage instructions!Let's list the shoddy workmanship and design- Screw and cap nut that hold the board to the hinge bar - came stripped- It was striped because the holes weren't aligned but the factory workers that put it together just rammed it in and sent it on it's way - lack of quality control- The track for the hinge bar to move was routered out - had burn marks and wasn't chamfered off or cleaned up edgewise in any way- The interior wood seems to have an extremely thin and inconsistent layer of paint/primer- looks bad- either paint it fully or leave bare - i feel like I need to go in and paint it now- Shelves are painted but the edges are bare- again- be consistent-- The metal heat plate is cheaply stapled in and not even cut square! looks like someone was asleep at the press.- The name tag fell off right out of the box! that should have told me every thing about this sorry unit right off the bat- The door is laminated with the cheapest laminate- seems are rough and poorly finished- Ikea should have designed the instructions and the door hinges/ mounts- there's no pilot holes of any kind and the instructions have the orientation of the hinges wrong- The location (on the instructions) for the hook are completely off- If you follow their instructions- the hook will hit the frame- had to redo it twice - now I have holes on the inside of the door that I need to cover - oh and the screw snapped off while I was at it with just the slighted torque- more garbage!Garbage- Garbage - Garbage!Ikea - save us Ikea! this would be an easy win for Ikea- they can probably build it cheaper and better with holes that line up and instructions that are easy readOnce installed and after 3 trips to the big box store to get screws etc to make up for the garbage they sent me- it's finally in after a day of work (should have been 1hr tops) It does look decent though.

Very easy to set up. Ironing board is sturdy and takes up little space. The storage inside is also nice. I had to change Iron as mine had a wide base and did not fit. There is a place on the door for opening, but I added a pull knob and it looks great!

Le meuble ne se fixe pas comme une étagère normale, il faut découper le mur!Et ceci, on le découvre dans le mode d'emploi, une fois tout déballé.

OK - but not as well made as I would have liked

Well built and nicely finished. Installation was easy. Would highly recommend.

As described and prompt delivery.
