this is a perfect item for anyone who irons everyday, its sturdy , it does fold down easily just as it says and it holds those items you need separated for delicate washing so you don't throw them in a hamper with jeans, I love this I have a small laundry area and now I don't have to put up ironing board in kitchen every morning and try to make coffee too, and the best is , not having to find someplace for my shirt to hang till I am ready to put it on ! great product worth every penny!
