Sturdy, but large and heavy [Posted on 2008-08-13]
This is an excellent ironing board for someone who leaves the board up all the time, but for those who would store it between uses, I found it cumbersome. In fact, the height of the folded board (and attached iron stand) was such that the board would not fit in my cleaning closet. I did not measure it, and can only say that the folded height exceeded 64". I also found that the board was somewhat uncomfortably heavy to lift, although this feature contributed to its stability when in use. I ended by trading ironing boards with my daughter, who irons in basement and who gave me a small lightweight board in exchange.

This ironing board is great. The metal iron holder at end provides extra length so now I can iron long pants legs without moving them. Also the extra width is wonderful. Again, an entire pants leg can be laid out and ironed without moving it several times. The board is very sturdy and does not wobble, so it is heavier than normal making it a bit harder to open and close.

The Rowenta IB-6200 Professional Ironing Board is head and shoulders above my old, bendy, rickety cheapo. It's sturdy and seems like it will last. However, before you buy, give serious thought to the dimensions. In theory, I like the idea of a larger board. But the Rowenta takes up more space in my closet (doesn't fit below the shelf) than a standard board. And I iron only size 4-6 women's clothing, so I don't feel that having the extra inches of board on which to iron really matters. It's also pretty heavy, which I can imagine would be a problem for some users.
Solid and Generous! [Posted on 2008-09-24]
After reading the reviews and coming to terms with the inflated price for an ironing board, I have to say I am very happy I took the plunge.
I've had problems with other cheap ironing boards collapsing or not staying up (we've actually welded one back into place!), leaving 'diamond' marks on items even though I put another towel down for padding, the excessive wobbling, losing the rubber thingy's on the feet so it wont stand correctly and will undoubtedly scratch the floor! I got fed up.
This ironing board makes the chore of ironing a bit less annoying. It is generous in size! I have plenty of room to put shirts, pants, sheets..whatever on the board and not have to make too many additional adjustments in order for the item being ironed to fit. It's very sturdy. No wobbling regardless of whether I set the board up on carpet or tiled floor.
The adjustment mechanism is very easy to push and it allows the board to rise up quite high for taller people and I can also adjust it for a lower setting when I need to sit and iron. (I am a quilter, those who also suffer from this addiction will understand.) :0)
The cover is thick and easily cleaned.
There is lots of room for not only empty hangers but hanging items when done or even stacking folded items on the shelf underneath. The iron holder is large and handy for setting a hot iron on inbetween items.
The board itself is a bit on the heavy side, but I justify that for the high quality of construction.
If you can get over the huge hurdle of paying the price asked of the Rowenta Pro Ironing Board, I highly recommend it as it will probably be the last one you will ever need to purchase!
