This is just what I was searching for. It is light and slightly shorter than a standard ironing board. The materials are made of steel material not plastic. With some modification it could easily be secured to a wall. I gave four stars because the ironing board pad itself is rather thin, It is just a thin cotton cover along with a thin ironing board pad. I am sure this will not hold up and will need replacing sooner than one would expect. However, I wanted a board to use in my laundry room for the quick iron and this is perfect for that purpose.
