Customer Reviews:

iron holder [Posted on 2007-08-29]
The iron holder did not leave enough room for adding a thick cover. the solution would be to leave at least one inch from the ironing board, or have the iron holder removable. I had to saw the iron holder 0ff to fit a thicker cover. The plug for the iron cord extension is in an awkward place. This information comes from my wife who has been ironing for 53 years. Thank you, and please call me on 239-454-6856 if you need additional information.

Covers Not Available [Posted on 2008-03-18]
The board is fine, no problems at all. It is nice and wide. The problem is not being able to buy a new cover for it! I have been everywhere, they are either too short or not wide enough. I am resorting to buying a new more "standard" ironing board where covers are more readily available. What a shame, this one is going out to the trashman.

This product had to be returned as it was defective. I have to say there was no problem with the return.

Be aware of 2 drawbacks [Posted on 2008-09-26]
Alas, after replacing a 40 year old ironing board because of its rusting and worrying about getting rust onto the clothing, I have just noticed 2 things about the year-old Polder replacement: 1.The mesh develops hard bumps under the cover. 2.The mesh is already starting to rust from steam!

Finally! An Ironing Board that Lasts! [Posted on 2008-10-01]
I bought this ironing board based on some of the reviews found here. I'm so glad I did! With my large family, we do a lot of ironing. I can't tell you the frustration I felt with the cheapie ironing boards from local stores. They all fell apart within months of use.

I decided I needed to bust the budget and splurge on a "deluxe" heavy-duty ironing board. Wow! Absolutely worth the money. I purposely waited almost a year after purchasing this board to rate it. It is still going strong! It is actually more cost effective to buy a more expensive board that lasts than to have to keep repurchasing crummy cheap-os.

A couple of comments. I don't use the cord. I'm perfectly happy plugging my iron into the wall, and forgot about the cord after a couple of uses. The iron holder is okay (I don't always use it, as my iron is pretty heavy and makes the whole affair top-heavy), and there are two little circles for setting starch or other spray bottles. I love having a spot to hang clothes on the end. But my favorite feature is the height adjustment. Changing the board height makes it possible for all of my children to do their own ironing. Even my seven-year old can and does use this board (with a light weight iron).

My only negative experience with the Polder board is the cover. I removed it to wash, and now it doesn't fit back on very well. The elastic or something is loose. I can use it, and it works okay, but sometimes slides around a little bit. I would recommend getting an extra cover, and/or using extra care when washing.
