Honestly, super aesthetically pleasing ironing board and seems high-quality (comparatively to the old ironing board that I bought when I first went off to college 7-8 years ago). It's soft and I like the additional "rack" to store the actual iron when using. It's a bit more expensive than what I was originally expecting to pay, but after "feeling" the board itself it feels pretty "high quality." I've only had it for a few weeks now, but no real complaints!
