Love this laundry center! I bought it mostly because I wanted an ironing surface. Although it says that this laundry center is not to be used for ironing, the material is appropriate to do so in my opinion. The wheels roll very smoothly. Before ironing was a chore, now it is VERY easy! Assembly was easy. I, a middle-aged woman, aren't particularly handy, but it wasn't hard to assemble. The instructions are laid out very easy with clear pictures. Love it.
