"The Best Board"
Tired of the cheap unstable iorning boards-well this board is the answer. Only problem is it a hefty and large board to fold away in the closet. Not for the physically weak! I don't really use the iron stand but it has saved the iorn from hitting the floor once already. I do like the shelf underneath to stack my iorned T-Shirts. I like to call this more of a mans board for all those bachelors out there!

"Good quality"
Got this for my boyfriend who was always complaining about our dinky "travel-size" ironing board when ironing his shirts. He really likes it.

"Excellent Quality Ironing Board - Great for Quilters!"
I received my Rowenta Professional ironing board the other day. It is made of excellent quality. I'm a quilter, therefore, I use my ironing baord quite often. My old ironing board was a cheap one from a "big box" store. It was light weight, but functional. I tried replacing it with an updated one similar in style (I needed a bigger iron holder for my new iron) It was also lightweight and didn't perform how I wanted, so it was returned. Then, I bought what I believed to be a better board from a different "big box" store, paying twice as much as the first board. I took it home and it wouldn't open up smoothly. Frustrated, I turned to the internet to find a board that was heavier and sturdier that I wouldn't have to worry about having it fall over. I came upon this ironing board and the many reviews on [...].

I'll admit, I was a little nervous about spending this much money on an ironing board...but decided what I had spent in the past wasn't getting me what I wanted. This board is worth its price! This board is indeed heavier than the others I've tried, but it's not unreasonable, and makes the board stable. The iron platform is very nice and has a fold-out bar for hanging clothes on (aside from the ledge around it). Perhaps the best part of this board is the pad Rowenta puts on their ironing boards. It has a nice padding to it and has held up better than the replacement cover I bought for my original board with the same amount of use. I have yet to use the shelf on the bottom, but it doesn't get in the way when I use the board. Also, this board extends to a higher height than other boards I've tried/owned.

A previous review indicated that you had to reach around and pull on both sides of the board to get it to lower, but I did not find that the case with mine. The one I have goes up and down smoothly.

At this point, I would struggle to find a negative. If you do frequent ironing, I would highly recommend spending the money on this board.

"Exactly what i wanted !"
I have always had a the old wooden ironing board and I loved it mostly because of its style :-)
When I bought the Rowenta steam iron, it could not go any longer, the wood was deteriorating. i am just so happy with that board, so large so stable and so sturdy, I wish I had bought it a long time ago ! Same comment as the other reviews, it is heavy, but it means it is more stable too, right !

"Great at first, up doesn't hold up"
I purchased this ironing board about 1-1/2 years ago. Loved it at first,
very nice, worked well, excellent board. But after a little over a year, it decides it doesn't want to say at the height I want. It starts collapsing down to a lower level, won't stay at a comfortable height. I called the company, it does have a 10 year guarantee. At first they said take it to a repair company, I had already looked for one, doesn't exist.
When I questioned the quarantee, I was put on hold while the rep checked.
When he came back, he told me there was no local place take it (I live
outside Chicago), that it had to be mailed back! I could probably buy a new board for the price of packaging and mail. No solution for this problem in sight.
