BrabantiaSize C Ironing Board (49x18 in) 7 Height Options, Solid Steam Iron Rest Holder (Fresh Breeze) Non-Slip Feet, Anti-Collapse Child Locks

FIRST, THIS IS A REVIEW FOR BRABANTIA... background: I love to iron! I ordered 3 Bartnelli (I don't love to iron THAT MUCH) but each and every one was either unstable, dented, or damaged and defective in some way. VERY DISAPPOINTING AS ITALIAN PRODUCTS SUCH AS FABRICS AND LEATHER GOODS ARE KNOWN TO BE THE VERY BEST. BUT each ITALIAN BARTNELLI was returned and I ordered a BRABANTIA. It was supposedly delivered while I was at home, but I never got it. Amazon immediately ordered another. I have used it for a few hours: HERE'S THE SCOOP. It was perfect; no dents, damages etc. It is stable and wide. There is an ample iron rest, but it is metal (boo). The release lever works, there are several height adjustments and the BEST part is the legs have locking clip that very securely locks the legs in place for storage. Minor things noticed: 1. the metal rest is metal unlike the Bartnelli; I have easily found a solution as I bought a silicon pad for it and 2. the tip end could be a bit longer as I iron our pillowcases. So despite these very MINOR items, THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE BARTNELLI.

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.

THIS IS REALLY A GREAT IRONING BOARD. Strong and stable, nice and wide, for broad shoulders. Side cradle for iron rest is firm, the shelf below is a great help to keep sleeves or longer items from resting on the floor.That's what my wife says, it's her choice. The price via Amazon is good, but it's not a cheap. Other less costly ironing boards don't are not of the same quality.

I can actually iron my husband’s shirts in less time because the ironing board is extra wide. It’s also higher, so clothing doesn’t touch the floor. It’s a pleasure to use!

I love the wider top and the iron rest at the end.It's very sturdy as far as ironing boards go.Observations:•The placement for the height adjustment release is a little hard to reach on the far side, it's tucked under.•The narrow end isn't quite as narrow as a standard ironing board making it difficult to tuck into tight spots and curved seams.•The bottom rack, for me, is virtually useless it's obstructed by most things when they are draped over the board. And it's in the way if I need to be seated while ironing. Knees knock against it. (I'm old, sometimes I need to sit.)I'd like to remove it but not sure if it's part of the structural integrity of the board itself.•A way to hang or set a spray bottle at the end where the iron sits would be very handy. Just a little bar that the sprayer handle could be hooked on would be sufficient. To keep the sprayer off the board itself and prevent it getting bumped off.Overall, a very nice ironing board.

Honestly this is the best ironing board I have ever owned! Very sturdy and solidly made. It is a little heavy but I wanted that. I like that if I bump into it that not everything is sent flying. The only thing that I can complain about is that the outer cover had a very slight nick or rip in the fabric on the side (from shipping I'm guessing) but I didn't notice it until it was beyond the return date. Guess I'll have to end up buying a replacement at some point or try to repair it some way. Other than that I would solidly recommend this ironing board. I would buy it again. Worth the investment.

The thing I like about this ironing board most, is that I’m 6‘3“ and do not have to bend over to iron. Very large board and extremely well constructed. No wobble at all. The only thing I do not like is the rack at the end for the iron. I wish it was removable.

This is the model recommended by Wirecutter, but when I bought it (twice) at Home Depot I returned it because the legs wobbled. This time, ordering on Amazon, I got the high-quality well-functioning ironing board I was looking for. It's easy to open and shut. The pad and denim cover work well.

This looks like a really great board. Very stable and a large enough ironing bed. The iron stand at the end is a nice feature. Really great height when fully up. Goes up and down easily.The only bad point is that the ad copy mentions non-slip, non-scratch feet. While they may be non-slip, these feet are hard plastic and so will probably scratch a wood floor. Other than that, it is great.We also had an issue with the cover, but Brabantia shipped out a replacement very quickly.

The iron holder is right up on the short square edge, not lower and an inch apart as it should be in order to make use of that edge more effectively. Otherwise fairly study and wide.

The best ironing board I have ever used. you can feel the quality.
