Honey-Can-Do BRD-01350 Over The Door Ironing Board with Folding Design, Multi-Colour, 42 x 14-Inch

Product Information

It has a fixed solid iron rest (not steam generator units) and there’s even a handy cord holder, conveniently keeping the board clear for simple, fuss-free use. The strong and sturdy frame can be adjusted up to a height of 91cm for taller users or lowered down to 76cm for those who prefer to iron in a comfortable seated position. We love the double foam cover that aids efficiency by penetrating steam and the hanging rail is a bonus too. It is however a bulky board to store and due to its size, it’s preferable if you have a separate utility or laundry room. When using an iron rest, you should also ensure it’s suitable for your iron type, with generator irons generally requiring a more sturdy frame due to the additional weight of the water tank.
