This ironing board is sturdy, the most important feature for me; nothing worse than trying to iron on an unstable ironing board. Easy to put up and take down. The width of the board is perfect for ironing my sheets, yes, I iron my sheets...The cover is taut, stays in place and it's pleasant to look at.  It reminds me of the sturdy old fashion ironing board my mom used on wash day back in the day. I am please!
