Brabantia 134449 Ironing Board, Denim Black, Size B (124 x 38 cm)

Very impressed with the build quality and the finish. I like the the solid click and hold of when the legs are folded and fit into the top clip. Heavier than my previous smaller boards but is very stable on carpet at full height which as a disabled person is important to me. ( smaller boards have a top heavy feel and sway due to smaller width) Cover feels good quality time will tell on wearability.This is the first time I have tried a wider board and it was good decision makes ironing easier and quicker with a better result. I first thought it was a lot of money to spend on an ironing board but choosing the plain cover option which had a price offer made this very good value.

I had a brabantia ironing board back in the 80s which I kept for around 30 years and decided to purchased another well known brand as I wanted a wider board as I like to iron my bedding, however I wasn’t happy with the several I had purchased they were flimsy & extremely wobbly when ironing & I never felt confident about leaving the iron on the plate. This ironing board is a complete game changer it’s a bit pricey but definitely worth the money it’s extremely sturdy & extra wide it folds easily with an extra large iron plate to place your iron.

Okay, I will freely confess that I am no real expert on this subject but, before I face the banshee howls of upset wifes and girlfriends I can and do iron when needed. Certainly as a cadet I had to learn or else.Anyway, my better 3/4 wanted a new ironing board because her old one of some vintage had a cover that was not ideal, being a replacement for the longstanding one of many years.Coupled with getting a new Woman Tool - an iron - She Who Must Be Obeyed wanted a new ironing board as well.Speaking of Woman Tools this is something of a constant source of confusion to us men. We love our tools. Really. Look in a blokes place of sanctury and check out the serried ranks of shiny spanners and neatly arranged socket sets. And yet, when the subject of the equivalent Lady Tools comes up we get nothing but death threats and indications our marital rights might dry up pretty quickly. At Christmas when a bloke gets a brand spankers new Makita cordless drill, chances are he will quickly have some sort of mini fit of joy. However, when the missus unwraps a new food mixer or iron there's a better than even chance the significant other in her life may well find it hard to sit down given what has been jammed somewhere uncomfortable.We men just don't get it.Anyway, my missus wanted a new board and it had to be a decent one or else. And as she we have the same Amazon account using my credit card, this bad boy duly turned up.And, as far as surf boards go it's pretty useless. However, as an ironing board, it's very good.Firstly, it's well made. I know that because my better 3/4 decided that along with the arrival of new equipment for ironing I would be tasked with sorting out the airing cupboard with new brackets and holders in order to give everything a place. And part of that was a hanging bracket for this board which had to be pretty substantial because this is quite a solid thing and certainly no lightweight. Good for the wife's arms I reckon.It's easy to set up with any position in it's range which covers any size lady I've seen. Even in the Far East where I worked...ahem...It has a large surface so any garment is easily dealt with according to my wife and she did tell me she liked the fact that there was no specific iron rest which takes up valuable real estate. The material top won't burn so you can put your iron down anywhere.There is a safety knob which has to be operated in order to collapse this which, is in place to prevent the small people in your life from becoming the small ex-people in your life. It works well and is a thoughtful addition.It's stable. Very stable in fact so much easier to get a move on when you need that dress for the evening out on the razz that's just been washed.The top is perforated so as to allow steam to pass through it making ironing just that bit easier and rendering this as I said before useles as a surf board.Overall, a superior quality board that will make any lady happy to get this on her anniversary or birthday. For any bloke our there reading this, I've just sorted your next pressy problem out.....

It's good quality, looks sturdy, has nice ironing cushion. 4 star for size - it is for small people. I'm 5'2, but still find it low. if you pull it to its highest, it goes wobbly. Width and length of the board itself is quite small too.Cute little cardboard guide for folding was a fun touch!

This is a great board - sturdy and robust, and the extra width makes a difference when ironing bedding. Looks smart too.

What a game changer!This ironing board is amazing. It’s big, as in wide, & the height is great. No wobbling. No marks on your clothes from the metal board. Thick cover. I debated whether to buy or not due to the price but I’m so glad I did. Don’t think I’d ever be able to go back to a basic ironing board ever again :) you will not be disappointed

Wow super nice and sturdy. Highly recommend. And kudos to the delivery they send the parcel in the right address and safe place.

Great ironing board - a ‘Which?’ best buy. Easy to put up and take down; wider than most boards; and you can use the whole surface as the end has a heat resistant surface to stand the iron rather than an iron ‘stand’.
