I'm very disappointed that the fabric cover is not as pictured. I actually owned this same ironing board several years ago, had to let it go, and now I re-ordered because I loved the first one so much. The original fabric (as is pictured) was a cotton muslin type of fabric in a cream/off-white color. The new fabric is a synthetic mesh that is a darker beige color. The ironing board itself seems just as good as the original, I'm just disappointed that the cover has changed, while the picture remains the same.
