Household Essentials Tabletop Ironing Board, Compact Ironing Board with Iron Rest, Includes Door Hang, Perfect for Dorms and Small Spaces, 12 x 30", Silver

Love it. Has an iron-rack otherwise you have to put the iron on the table when using it. Very sturdy. Sufficiently tall, unlike college dorm ones where the clothing gets bunched up. Hangs on front or back of laundry or closet door.

I don't iron much. My husband buys those wrinkle-free, non-iron button-down shirts - which really do work! - so I only occasionally have to touch one up. Sometimes I have to iron a button-down shirt for my little boy, and every now and then my daughter does a craft project that involves some ironing. I never bother ironing sheets. We were living with my parents, and just recently we got our own place, which meant buying our own iron and ironing board. With ironing being a relatively infrequent activity, I really didn't want to invest the money in a full-sized ironing board, and anyway, I wasn't sure where we could put one. I stumbled upon this item on Amazon, and I love it! Our family room is carpeted, and for me, it's actually quite comfortable to set this board up directly on the carpet and sit cross-legged while ironing. Sure beats standing while ironing. With the TV on, I dare say I wouldn't even mind if I had more ironing to do. The steel rods are very sturdy. It's super easy to unfold and "lock" into place, and the whole board feels perfectly stable while I'm ironing. A few of the other reviews mentioned that the padding is too thin, but for my ironing purposes, it's fine. I have not noticed any marks from any underlying metal underneath the padding. But again, I really only do "light" ironing. It does have a built-in iron rest, but I never use it. Not because it doesn't work, but because I am just in the habit of always resting the iron on its heel, which works fine for me, and I just never think to use the iron rest. UPDATE 9/29/2014: I continue to use this ironing board for my occasional ironing needs, and it has held up beautifully. Since it's smaller than a full-sized ironing board, I've now gotten into the habit of using the built-in iron rest. It works! No complaints.

Easy to use. Easy to fold. Size is perfect. It is not heavy. It feels really stable. Overall, a great addition and works really well.

This is a nice, solid, little iron ironing board that is perfect for those one or two items you need to iron quickly. It can be kept under the bed or behind a door, it's readily available and pops up quickly and easily. The all-metal construction is way better than the cheaper compressed wood boards being sold, and is sure to last for quite some time - the vents are perfect for steam irons. I also purchased an extra cover and placed it over the pad the board came with, which is extremely thin. It's extremely convenient, and lightweight - you don't have to struggle to pull it out of a closet if you just need to iron one or two articles of clothing.

The Household Essentials Tabletop Ironing Board is a compact solution for ironing in small spaces. Measuring 12 x 30 inches, it fits comfortably on most tables or countertops and includes an iron rest and a door hanger for easy storage. Pros: - Space-saving design - Iron rest for safe iron placement - Door hanger storage - Lightweight and portable Cons: - Limited ironing surface for larger garments - Height depends on the surface - Stability concerns on certain surfaces Overall, it’s a practical choice for tight spaces, but it may not be ideal for larger items or standing while ironing.

When I unwrapped the tabletop ironing board I opened up the legs. I looked for a hook to attach to the leg frame. When I realized this was a “problem” item, I preceded to sit down and figure out what I could. Minutes passed……… I then looked for some directions, there were none. I then went online. I started reading the comments. I saw the pictures some people had posted. By the way, thank you to all who posted pics. I fiddled with the latch, trying to get it to connect. That was useless. Then a miracle happened. The hook started sliding out of the holes. I kept fiddling with it and I realized I had to attach the latch first to the frame, then put the hook into the holes. More fiddling and with a good bit of pressure, it attached. It’s a sturdy ironing board. I’m not sure how I’m going to unhook it. More fiddling I guess. No one should have to go through all of this just to iron a few clothes. By the way, I have a floor model ironing board, and I never had problems like this.

After searching the internet and reading numerous reviews, this is the table top ironing board I chose. It is light weight and used for quick pressing of garments as I sew them; seams, darts, collars, etc. I prefer a well padded board so added more padding and a new cover. Small elastic suspenders keep the cover firmly in place. There is a metal bar that keeps the board folded and a device to hang it on a door for storage. A metal rack that slides out at the end of the board is available to rest your iron on. Pros and cons: the ironing board is light, it slides around on the table. I use either a non-skid pad (used under throw rugs) or bath towel to stabilize the board. The slide out iron rack does not feel sturdy enough to hold the iron and concern that the weight of the iron may tip the board. This board will not replace my full size, old fashioned, heavy wooden board for actual ironing. Shirts and dresses overwhelm the size of this board. Am I glad I bought it? YES, would I buy it again? YES. It is perfect for sewing projects.

Replacing an old metal board which was heavy and difficult to set up. This is a good addition to the household as it is light, sturdy, and hangs on the back of closet door. Ironed a few shirts and think this is a keeper.
