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

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!

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.

My ironing board from the 1960s finally fell apart. It traveled with me in the military to many locations. I loved it because it was so sturdy. Now we come to this purchase. After much research I was looking for an ironing board that was sturdy, not rickety, practical and would last for many years. What a wonderful product. Expensive? Yes. But worth every penny. Great ironing surface-shirts are a breeze to iron. Great elevation for those with back problems. The iron rest is wonderful (since my old board always knocked the iron off to the floor). The TV remote holder is also a great little feature. Comes with extra ironing board cover too. The little wings on the end are interesting and useful for shirt ironing. The cover also is just right allowing for a very smooth surface for ironing. It is a heavy item because of the construction-I have moved my ironing location to compensate for this. But of course I wanted a sturdy one-it is that. Well, I could go on. Try it, you'll love it. And if you have a problem, ( I did not) their wonderful customer service will take care of it right away. Lastly, you can show off your new purchase to friends and family and impress them on your purchase.

This is a great ironing board! I needed a big/stable surface for quilting- and sewing-related ironing, and this board is fantastic for that. The only thing I'm docking a star for is the "100% cover," which became scorched and gunked up my iron with minimal use. I rest my iron on a silicone pad so it's not even resting on the ironing board itself - the scorching was just from regular pressing and ironing. I'm in the process of making a new cover and padding out of cotton fabric, cotton batting, and Insulbright. When I took off the existing cover I realized it's just a piece of padding with fabric/interfacing fused to it. Very odd!Anyway I love the ironing board and replacing the cover is worth it for me, given how sturdy and large the stand is.

The rod in the mechanism for raising and lowering the actual ironing surface has become overly bent. When purchasing products I spend time reading the reviews of others. My experience with this ironing board has been very inconsistent with those reported in the ratings. I’ve had this product for nearly 5 months but had problems from the beginning including those of raising/lowing the top. The legs of the product extend beyond the top so one needs to be careful and not trip over them. The cotton cover is barely wide enough. A pocket to hold a mobile phone is a useless feature making retrieving the phone more time consuming than just leaving it on a close surface. At the end of the board there is an unmovable iron holder with an unretractable rod for iron cord. So storing the ironing board requires a space with lots of height and width and some strength for lowering the board, checking/adjusting the “j” hook to confirm legs are secure, and moving the board to storage location. Unlike my ironing area perhaps if storage is not a problem one could leave the board in ready to go position. One good feature is the wings for ironing shirts. Today I discarded the most expensive ironing board I have ever purchased.
