This board is a large size and exactly what I wanted. My husband had to make an adjustment as upon opening the board to the upright position, we noticed one part was out of its track not allowing the board to be lowered back to a flat position. Once he worked the part back into the track, it glided to to closed position with ease. The ironing board also opens to a height good for a tall person, not making it necessary to stoop lower while ironing.
