Brabantia Adjustable Rest + Rack Ironing Board, Size C (49 X 18), Ecru

Great ironing board. Strong steady board, built to last but my only disappointment is can't change the ironing board cover because the part that holds the iron is pushed up against the iron board making it impossible to remove cover without ripping it.

I owned a Brabentia wide ironing board 20 years ago, loved using it (as weird as that sounds), and then “lost” it during a divorce... and I’ve longed for one ever since. These are so much nicer than any other ironing board out there. My new ironing board arrived today, and it’s just as sturdy and as well made as the one I used to have, which is so nice, since many companies seem to be downgrading their build quality these days. My ironing board was MADE IN LATVIA (not made in China, like nearly all the cheaply built ones you find from the discount/big box stores). And it’s incredibly sturdy. It doesn’t wobble or shift as you use it. The rack underneath the board is removable, but I‘ll keep it attached since it’s very handy to use for items waiting to be ironed/folded items that have been ironed, for holding a basket of hangers, for holding tailor’s hams or wool pressing mats, or if you have a steam generator for an iron, as long as the generator weighs less than 5 pounds or so. The rack is quite sturdy, and the iron rest is also sturdy and stable, with an adjustable arm to help secure your iron. The ironing surface is wider and a bit shorter than ones found on standard boards, so it’s easier and faster to iron linens and fabrics for quilting and sewing. But it’s not too wide for ironing clothing, and the small amount of board length lost poses no issues, really. This is a perfect proportion, in my opinion. If you’ve only had a narrow “standard” ironing board before, it might take some getting used to, but after using one of these a couple times, I doubt you’ll ever want to go back to a narrow one! There’s really no reason to want to. I also like that the board adjusts to a taller height than my old one, which is easier on my arthritic neck and back, but it can also be adjusted lower, to be used from a seated position (I’m disabled, so this was important to me to have the option). And it doesn’t squeak at all (some are like nails on a chalkboard!) when you open or close it. This is so much more stable than a more narrow board with the same style legs, and 1,000 times more stable than all of those T-leg boards out there! I plan to keep mine set up most of the time, but will mount a wall holder for those times when I need to put it away. The ironing board comes with a 10-year warranty and registration instructions (so save the printed card and large card stock insert with product info, since your barcode for registration is there). I do not work for this company or for Amazon (or for any company, since I’m disabled and unable to work, lol) and I am not being paid or provided with any other consideration in exchange for this review. I’m writing this because I find reviews to be helpful to me when making decisions, and I would like to help others, as well. I tend to overthink things, and am a bit of a perfectionist, so I tend to look for what is “wrong” with things, and if anything wasn’t perfect about this, I’d mention it (I’m whiney like that lol). So if this review has been helpful, please let me know by clicking the button below. I’ll update my review if anything changes, but I doubt I’ll ever have to. This ironing board functions, looks and feels just like the one I used for many years, and that one never gave me any issues at all.

L'asse è perfetto. Solido, stabile e come lo volevo. Arrivato perfettamente imballato e protetto con foglio in plastica antiurto. Il tutto chiuso in una pellicola in plastica nera sottovuoto. Facile il disimballo, l'asse è facilmente apribile grazie alla leva che si tiene premuta e lo fa regolare all'altezza desiderata. Dotato anche di alloggio per i piedini che lo fa tenere chiuso senza il rischio che si apra durante lo spostamento. Sta tranquillamente in uno spazio di 15 cm da chiuso. Il materiale è ottimo così come la copertura in tessuto, anche se ho preferito acquistarne un'altra da mettere sopra affinché non si rovini. Sono molto soddisfatta dell'acquisto, effettuato ieri mattina e che mi è stato consegnato il giorno dopo grazie alla opzione Prime. Allego immagini del prodotto acquistato. Troppo tardi ho pensato di voler fare foto anche all'oggetto imballato ma avevo già aperto il tutto. Lo consiglio. Vale più di quanto costa. Grazie Brabantia e Amazon!
