Household Essentials 144222 Over The Door Small Ironing Board with Iron Holder, Natural Cotton Cover Silver

UPDATE, 8/8/18 (have had this board nearly 4 yrs now & want to update one small detail for anyone who might also have their board mounted on the inside of a door and has experienced the same problem.) Because I have the ironing board mounted on the INSIDE of a closet door rather than the outside of a door, the door has to be open while I iron and the ironing motion made the door constantly move and want to close. I'd been using a bungee cord hooked around the door knob and to a desk behind the open door to hold it open, but that was far from ideal solution....still movement in the door when ironing and kind of a hassle. I found a pack of three plastic door wedges at the Dollar Tree and that's been WAY better than the bungee cord! These are the small door wedges that you push under a door to wedge it tightly open. The three I got in my package are made of very light weight plastic and work very well on my carpeted floor. I wedge one under the door while ironing, absolutely NO movement of the door at all, and when I'm done, I pull the wedge out and stick it between the two bars on the back of the folded-up ironing board until next time. PERFECT! If it was possible to love this ironing board more than I already did, this simple, inexpensive solution made it so.UPDATE: 12/15/14 - I've had this ironing board (and the cover, sold separately) for over 2 months now, and I love it even more than I did initially! The problem w/ keeping the door open while ironing is solved for now...still one of those cute little bungie cords hooked to a desk behind the door when opened for ironing. The piece of cloth has been replaced by something "pretty", and that simple solution works, I'm happy with it & so is hubby...one less "thing". I was afraid the slightly smaller size would be a problem, but I got a separate iron holder that clamps to the side of the same desk so the iron doesn't take up room on the board, and it's just fine. I've even ironed a couple lge tablecloths and noticed very little difference from my big board when using the iron holder.While you could get by without the additional cover, I'm now glad I got it and would get it again. It just makes a really nice ironing surface....and looks nice, too.I'm back here to order my 78 yr old mother this board and the cover (and probably some kind of iron holder) for Christmas. My parents are old-school, and she does alot more ironing than I do. Not having to fight with that awful, heavy, clunky ironing board will be a blessing for her, and I know she's going to love it! I'm changing my 4 star rating (from below) to a 5 star. It's so much better than the alternative, and lowers & raises so seamlessly that a couple small glitches are merely tiny dings in the 5th star.Original Review: I went looking for a "hide-away" ironing board w/ easy access & found several designs w/ a WIDE pricing range...from under $30 to over $800! I settled on this one based upon reviews & have found most of them to be accurate. I hung mine on the INSIDE of a closet door, and it's obviously designed for the outside/room side of a door. The iron holder is a joke no matter which side of the door you hang it on. (Who in the world is going to reach that far over your head to store an iron, not to mention the fear that it could FALL on your head!) If you install the board on the inside of the door, the door will not be able to close with the iron holder attached. Since it's useless to me, anyway, I just took it off & that issue was solved. Also, w/ it installed on the inside of the door, I must have the door open when I iron, and that presented a more difficult problem. The motion of ironing makes the door want to close. I rigged a temp solution until hubby can come up with something better. (I bungy cord the door knob to a small desk that sits behind the door when it's open & put a folded up cloth between the desk & the door to "tighten it up" so the door doesn't bounce against the desk when I'm ironing. While it solved the immediate problem, it makes a board that's otherwise SUPER quick & easy to lower for use not quite as quick and easy, but it works for now. (It's hard to explain but just be aware that you'll have to deal with a door that wants to close if you hang your board on the inside of the door & must have it open to iron.) Like others, I velcroed the bottom stabilizing feet to the door to prevent the board from jumping against the door during ironing. As far as the front of the board bouncing (because it doesn't have a front support leg), I haven't found that to be a problem so far. The hanging brackets do make my closet door close tightly, but it does close. However, I'm pretty sure that the brackets rubbing on the frame whenever the door is opened and closed will eventually cause wear marks or scuff marks on the top of the frame. Our house is new, and that thought doesn't please me, but it's not enough to make me go back to the inconvenience of a classic ironing board or to spend more money on another style of stow-away board that will probably not work any better and may have other issues of its own. Based upon the reviews saying the cover that comes on the board is too thin, I ordered the cover that's available separately for this board at the same time I ordered the board but wish I'd have saved the $10.00. I didn't find the included cover to be too thin and would've gotten along fine w/o the after-market cover. That being said, the 2nd cover is very nice and padded and also looks better than the one that comes on the board. (It's no picnic getting it on, though.) The board is all metal and seems like a quality, durable, product, and installation could NOT BE EASIER....it literally takes a few minutes! The hardest part of the whole process was finding a stool to stand on so I was tall enough to get the hanging brackets over the door. (And another thing that impressed me...there are two sets of hanging brackets included, one for "residential doors" and a wider set for wider "commercial doors". I'll never use the wider brackets but the fact that they included both to insure their product could be used on a thicker door really impressed me!) Overall, I'm satisfied with this ironing board, think it's well worth the very reasonable price and would buy it again. I'm deducting one star for the poorly designed iron holder and the fact that it does take some extra rigging to stabilize the bottom support "feet" to prevent the board from jumping against the door during ironing (which, by the way, doesn't affect its performance but is very annoying!)

Does wonders for utility room. I can iron, or use as folding station. Like that it's 42" long. Took me a sec to figure out how to attach hooks!! Will send pics soon. Stabilized it with velcro. Got that idea from another reviewer, and it works great!! Forget about the iron holder. I tossed it. It's irrelevant. I love this handy little board; and, it's out of the way when not in use!!

I live in South Beach. About the only thing that we have less use for than irons is socks. Nevertheless I do have some linen shorts and some other things that need some ironing. This is about perfect. I put some Velcro on the bottom legs to keep it from bouncing around every time I open or close the door.The ironing surface is actually larger than I expected. It may feel a bit flimsy but actually it is not. There is some spring action until you press down firmly and then it is a steady surface.My only gripe is that the hooks are overkill — too thick and they interfere with closing the door.Oh and about the iron holder … It is designed perfectly to send you to the emergency room after the hot iron crashes into your skull. The wound will be cauterized if that helps.

This is a simply perfect product. Too simple and easy to instal and use to be true! But it is.

Found this by accident. Not a lot of room in my laundry room. Dry cleaning my uniforms is expensive so I usually wash them at home and iron them myself. Lost my ironing board in the last move. Found this and it was an immediate buy and immediately found it to be awesome! Fits on my laundry room door. No room for a full ironing board in the room so this solves the problem easily. Easy fold up and down out of the way when I don't need it. Easy to fold down and sturdy when I do.

Think it through before buying this. A door-hanging board may not be your best option, an in-closet-hanging board might be better. Problems I encountered with this board:(1) My doors won't shut with this ironing board hung on them, so I have to store it in a corner taking up space.(2) Every door I can hang it on to use it puts the room's light behind me, so the clothes I'm ironing are in my shadow, a consequence of door-dependent mounting.(3) If I store it hanging on a door I don't need to fully shut, it bangs and clangs when moving the door and its weight swings the door open maximally. It's just a nuisance.So, having to store it leaning in a corner, I can't even utilize its potential storage advantage. All these problems are because it is only designed for door hanging. A self-standing board gives you far more freedom of placement and there are such boards that conveniently hang in a closet, fully out of sight.Given the particular design circumstances of my house -- which may differ for you -- buying this was a bad decision on my part. I'm letting you know what to considered before buying. That said, it has otherwise worked fine without mechanical defect.

This ironing board is large enough to easily use, but small enough to stash it out of the way.The only downside is that it's a little bit wobbly sometimes.

Product came all busted up. Had to rebuild it. Also no basket for iron. Board wobbles and isn't steady ironing. It came rattling around in a box made for 6 ironing boards. Smh
