I am very pleased with this ironing board, I was worried that the cable might catch between the ironing board and iron stand at the side as I had read some reviews that mentioned this. However I did not find this to be a problem and the ironing board is very well padded so nice to iron on. The only complaint I have that as I put it up with the iron stand on the right hand side the clip to dismantle the ironing board is at the back and difficult to release. It would be better if the clip was at the front if the iron stand is on the right especially for right handed people.
