As a curtain/cushion maker, I have used a lot of ironing boards, this 1 is FABULOUS! It’s so sturdy, has a lot of board space, material doesn’t slide off the board, is easy to put up and down, is solid and has no cheap/flimsy fixings. Truly a joy to use. I’m sure it will last years & im really pleased I paid a bit extra for such great quality. Excellent product - well done!
