This would be a 5 star review -- this is the most expensive ironing board I've ever purchased, and should be 5 stars -- it's sturdy and does what it should -- BUT why would a company manufacture an IRONING BOARD, with a cover that melts with the heat? The description says the cover is heat and scorch resistant -- I was ironing a linen pillow case on high heat, as one does with linen. I momentarily - just momentarily (seconds) - set the iron face down on the cover and it melted! I don't want to go through the pain of returning it -- now I will need to find a large size cover. I was very disappointed.
