Mabel HomeIroning Board with Extra-Wide Surface, 8 Features, Retractable Shoulder Wings, Adjustable Height, 100% Cotton Cover

Best ironing board I could find

When my wife described the iron as "like my mother had" it blew her away... she said, "the way the wings worked" are perfect. ... Happy Wife is a Happy Life.

Customer Service:The ironing board showed up with one little hole in the top cover (see attached picture), and while it did not inhibit in anyway the functionality of the ironing board I thought I might email customer service to see if they could help. I tried going through Amazon but they were not able to help, only offering to return the ironing board entirely.I emailed [email protected] (found on a card in the box) a little after midnight on Jan 3rd (Friday). I got a response in 45 minutes from Koray Sapci. Koray asked for my addresses and offered to send me a new cover right away. I replied with my address, and Koray let me know I would have my replacement cover Monday. Come Monday I had my replacement cover! The best customer service experience I've had!Product:The product is well built, and incredibly sturdy. It's large enough to be able to do the entire back and shoulders of a dress shirt. At least one of the other reviewers had a problem with the shoulder wings (them falling down, or being misaligned with the main board) but I have had no such issues. There is slight misalignment but not so much that you can't iron over.The wire holder is very handy as it keeps the cable from rubbing against or moving whatever you are trying to iron. the platform is also great for the iron along with a spray bottle of starch. The hanger holder is relatively strong, but it does sag if you put around a dozen shirts on it.Overall:A very good product, perhaps overpriced, but excellent customer service!

We've been using the ironing board for a few weeks now and so far so good.PROS: large size board, clever winglet extenders for ironing shirts, iron rest, and cord stay. Great customer support. The installed board cover came with a cut on the edge and customer support promptly replied to my email and sent a replacement cover, no hassles. Much appreciated.CONS: I wish the tapered end was a little narrower, it's a little challenging to iron small items of clothing (i.e. small t-shirts or button-less tops - you have to stretch them out to slip over the end). Also, the iron board cover emits a harsh odor when ironing. I'm guessing it's residual manufacturing odor? I think it's going away but it was very strong early on. I stuffed the cover into a mesh bag and ran it through the dryer on lowest heat setting with a few wool dyer balls. Maybe the factory can include a step to off gas the odor before packaging?Coming from using a regular size ironing board, this is pretty impressive but takes a little getting used to. I'll try and remember to update in a few months!Update: Good news, the harsh odor from the cover has finally dissipated. It took about 3-4 weeks.

I love my ironing board. It is completely worth the money. The ironing pad is thick and doesn't leave marks in the fabric being ironed, I love the adjustable "wings" that can be folded out to give a more squared surface or folded in for a more traditional board. I usually have them up when I iron my sheets and do not get creases at the joint. I also love that this ironing board is wider than most boards on the market and sturdier. It isn't flimsy. If you are looking for a quality, well built ironing board this is the one to buy. It has a hard plastic board to set your iron and a little basket that slides out where you can set your remote (I keep my water refill cup for my iron there, my remote for the tv, and hang a small spray bottle off of it too). I also really appreciate the metal clothes hanging rod that rotates up and can be snaped down for storage. I use it every time I iron. I find it holds about 10 of my husband's button-up shirts on plastic hangers before I feel they get too heavy for it to hold.In all, I feel like this ironing board is a great buy, sturdy, well built, and innovative. I reccomend it to anyone looking to upgrade or replace their ironing board.

1. The latching mechanism is not tight and the stand compresses under very little pressure, so you can't really "press" with it.2. The shelf at the tail of the board and the front "wings" that turn out are cheap flimsy plastic. You are just one little bump or tip over to breaking them off.

I love this ironing board. It’s expensive but that’s okay. The flaps make it square. I need that for sewing projects.

New Review:After Mabel Home commented on my original review, I contacted them as requested. They shipped me out a brand-new board immediately and I received it a couple of days later. The new board, which had WAY more packing material included than the original, was perfectly stable. It also included a pad, which the original did not.I still think this board is expensive, but it has features I haven’t found elsewhere, and I think their customer service is top notch. So I have changed my review from 2 stars to 5.Original review:I wanted a good-quality, stable ironing board. When I saw that this one was extra-wide, and had all sorts of other neat features, I decided it sounded like it was worth the money.Nope! Straight out of the box, one of the legs was shorter than the other three, leading it to wobble dangerously. It was so unstable that the slightest jiggle of the board sent my (hot) iron crashing to the ground—the exact reason I got rid of my old ironing board in the first place, and I only paid like $15 for that one. So what was the point of spending $130?In the end, my husband taped some cardboard to the short leg to stabilize it. However, this should not be necessary for an ironing board this expensive. Never again.
