Ironing boards come in various models. Before picking one specific design, you need to figure out whether you're looking for an ironing board that will be placed in a fixed position or one that is movable.
Popular portable ironing board models include:
Wide Steel Top Freestanding: wide top, silver steel frame, 4-leg support system, iron rest, adjustable hanger bar, and soft padding to prevent wrinkles or imprints. This ironing board is steady and its features support the circulation of heat and steam.
Deluxe Freestanding: modern design with an iron rest, adjustable height, cotton cover and fiber pad, sweater shelf, and steel leg frame. Useful for those who want to stack their clothes nearby.
Freestanding ironing board: classic style with iron rest, occasional and heavy-duty use, compact, full size and tabletop. This design is suitable for those with little space.
Alternatively, you can also choose a space-saving over-the-door ironing board. These models are also portable, allowing you to hang them on different doors. However, they are not appropriate for heavy-duty ironing. Moreover, tabletop ironing boards are convenient for those with smaller rooms.
Those who want their ironing board in a fixed position should have a built-in unit or an ironing board cabinet. These types of ironing boards look neater. Some common built-in ironing board models include:
Stowaway In-Wall Built-in ironing board: easy to use, ironing board stays out of sight when closed, ironing board cabinet has two shelves, heat resistant barrier, adjustable height, ironing board can rotate 180°.
