Product review (4 stars): Much easier to use than a narrow ironing board for large items
This was purchased for me to use when making draperies.  It fits perfectly on the top of my kitchen island, and is also used on a rectangular folding table.  I love how easily and compactly it folds for storage, and the iron rest is very convenient. No creases / lines transfer to the items being ironed from where the mat is folded for storage.

I am very sensitive to chemical or pesticide smells and do not smell anything bad or react to the ironing mat - even when first opened.

One star was dropped as it does get damp underneath when using heavy steam while ironing the drapes, but overall I wish I had known these existed before as they make the chore of ironing SO much easier than using a narrow ironing board!
