This is the perfect board for smaller people, or if you need a smaller board for lack of space. It is lightweight. The only reason I gave it 4 stars, instead of five, is you have to make sure the latch under the board that controls the height you want, is securely latched.  For me, that entails turning the board upside down to make sure the latch is secure. The iron rest is also a GREAT feature...sturdy and safe, with bumps in the metal insuring your iron doesn,t slip, but rests upright securely .
