Rowenta IB6300 Professional Ironing Board

A professional quality ironing board designed and manufactured to the high quality standards that have made Rowenta the leading name in Garment Care. The IB-6300 Professional Ironing Board features an integrated three layer cover construction which includes a 100% cotton top and bottom with an inner layer of thick felt, providing a smooth ironing surface and maximum support. A treated mesh table surface resists rust and provides a sturdy ironing surface while promoting steam transfer. The extra wide board shape is ideal for all types of garments and the most professional tasks. It has an oversized iron rest with hanging rack, large enough to hold a steam generator, is retractable and safely holds irons on heat resistant silicone surface. Integrated laundry shelf and additional fold out garment hanging rack provides storage for finished garments. Extra think, heavy duty chrome steel legs are extra strong and widely spaced to provide maximum stability and durability. The board's advance feature reduces ironing efforts and enhances results.

I've never had an ironing board like this. Always had a cheapy. This is solid and I love the tray for the iron. I decided to pay the price once and for all. Only thing I'll have to buy again is the cover.

Good all around board, but a little clunky to maneuver. Quite heavy-good while you are ironing, but not if you want to move it or store it. Also cord configuration can get in the way, although being able to plug the iron into the board is handy. The iron rest is a little flimsy-bending the thin metal plates to support a heavy iron (I have a Rowenta Advancer) does not feel secure. Good board if you have the room to keep it set up at the ready, not if you need to put it away.

I bought this board primarily because my old iron had ceased working and I purchased a Rowenta with the water/steam tank. I needed something that would defintely hold the weight of the unit. I had a Brabantia ironing board for years and found trying to find covers very frustrating as well. This board works very well, nice and heavy duty. Has a tray to the side which holds the heavier iron and water/steam tank unit nicely (which is what is was advertised as being able to do). Worth the money - but I do a lot of ironing and sew as well.

One cannot imagine spending this much money on an ironing board -- until one uses it. Then, you'll have trouble going back to the flimsy $20 models one finds in most stores. From it's rock solid frame to its larger top to the quality pad and cover to the antenna-like cord holder this product might even make you look forward to coming home and ironing up the pile of shirts that's been sitting in the basket.

This ironing board is well made and sturdy (high quality). I love all of the features and the extra wide width. If you do moderate to a lot of ironing, it is definitely worth the investment.
