Ironing board for the jolly green giant
When we first unpacked this ironing board, I just had to laugh.
My girlfriend, who is of slight build was simply lost behind it, and looked as if she was a little girl in a giant's house.
That said, if you are proposing to use this ironing board with an ironing station, you will need something substantial, and this will fit the bill.
It is a very stable unit, and will comfortably take the weight of our ironing station. (The Braun Carestyle 5). No mean feat, as it is pretty heavy, especially when the tank is full of water.
The ironing area is impressive too, measuring about four feet long, (five feet including the ironing station table), and about eighteen inches deep. Although we've only had it a month, it is easy to keep clean. The white ironing station holder is metal finished in white paint which matches the legs, and it has substantial rubber feet. The underside of the board is also sprayed white, and is a wide woven mesh finish, making it lighter and allowing the air to circulate more freely, therefore quicker to dry out should you be trigger happy with the steam function.
It is quite a lot heavier to carry around than our old ironing board, but to be honest, this is probably more to do with our old one being cheap and flimsy, rather than the new one being 'overweight'.
All in all, this is a very well made unit which I can see lasting for many years, and even if I could have my money back, I would still purchase this model again. It is not a budget ironing board by any means, but we are both happy with it, and would recommend it fully.
