Question: Is the iron rest removable or does it interfere with folding and then standing it up on end?
Document: I've been looking for an ironing board that I could use without feeling stooped over, and this one does the trick. The shelf underneath is nice, although it does seem to bend with only a few pairs of jeans on it.I was looking forward to the iron rest, but my iron doesn't quite fit and it sacrifies the usefulness of the blunt end of the board. The tapered end is more blunt than many others so you can't get as far into a leg or sleeve as you might be used to.
Liked it at first because its stable and taller than my previous ironing board. As time goes by I am not happy at all. The ironing pad is thin, so I have to iron tshirts on a towel. The end is too wide to iron shirt sleeves or jeans. The ironing stand gets in way of straight ironing. I have an auto-off iron that needs to be upright to go off. If its tilted in the ironing stand, it won't go off and that makes it dangerous.
Excellent met all my needs. Heavy and stable the iron rest is super. Would be nice to have a thicker pad though.
Ok. So I'm not paying to send this back. It's really big, that's what I wanted, just so cheap.The iron rest will barely hold my iron. The metal is so flimsy.Looks good. The cover is junk. You have to buy a new one immediately.
This is finally a workable ironing board and I have tried and returned many. It is a little heavy but that is good for stability. It is wide and that is good for ironing sheets (I like full cotton and they always wrinkle badly in the dryer.) The point is good enough for doing shirt sleeves. The iron rest is great and a tip is to carefully bend it to fit your particular iron.
I thought buying a &#34;quality board would be a good idea. What a wast of money. The cover that comes with it is so thin that when I iron darker clothing the pattern of the metal grin of the board ends up on my clothing. So I spent more $ to buy a better thicker cover. But the built in iron rest is so close to the board that there's no room to maneuver the new pad onto the board.
We were replacing our previous ironing board which we paid about $100 for about seven years ago. We really liked the ironing board we had previously so we were looking for the same features. We wanted an iron rest, a wide ironing board, sturdy and thick cover, a place to hang ironed items and something that was sturdy. This ironing board Has all of that. It also has a rack for sweater drying or where you could put the sweater over the rack and steam any wrinkles out of it.
Best ironing board I have purchased in forty-five years. Just the right size. I couldn't iron properly on the narrow boards. Love the wire shelf below and the bulit-on iron rest that doesn't use any of the surface space. Stability was always a problem with the two-bar shaped legs. The 4 leg design makes this ironing board very stable. I sew, among other things, and this a great surface to accomplish my projects. It is also a good value for its price.
Very nice, very sturdy, well made ironing board. A bit wide at the front so getting clothing around the front end doesn't work. But it makes me use my ham and seam roll more.
Love love love this ironing board. It is very sturdy and goes a little higher than most ironing boards, good for my back. The extra shelf on the end is good for water bottle and starch. Don't use the rack underneath but I could see it coming in handy at some point. Great buy
Answer: The iron rest isn't removable, but it does slide out enough to make changing the cover easy.  It isn't in the way at all when standing the board up. The part I removed was the rack that was below the front end of the board.  It didn't seem practical to me.  I love the board, though.  'Best one I've owned.
