how do you change the cover? I bought a thicker cover but I the iron rest is in the way of getting it on. Any ideas?

Hi there. I had the same problem too. Until I discovered that if you stand with the iron rest end of the ironing board in front of you. Place your feet on the ends of the legs. And very easily slide/pull the iron rest toward you. Yes. That's it. Then when you're done just push it back closer to the board. I just love this ironing board. And yes. The covers are thin but I put a piece of that polyester batting (cut to shape) under the cover to plump it up a little bit. And I use snug straps/sheet tighteners to make the cover lay nice + flat + tight. They're available on Amazon. Have a good week! Hi there. I had the same problem too.

I removed the iron rest. It was making the board too long to fit in my closet anyway! I agree that the cover is quite thin.

It's been a looong time since I had the item. You are looking at the bottom. There should be a cover, either flip up, slide off or held in place with a small screw. hope this helps

Board and cover are great. Replacement covers can be seen @ http://www.kitchensource.com/ironing-boards/ba-1246-62.htm

I have an over the door ironing board for several years but this cover did not fit. To hold the cover in place there is a Velcro band and it was not long enough to go around the board. The cover did fit but because of the band the cover would not stay on. Sorry

If you are talking about the top cover..I just push (squess) on both sides and pull to left or right..kind of hard..

I wondered this myself. I don't have any damage, but the cover doesn't completely wrap around all posts. From other comments I read you can contact the manufacturer Jewitt Cameron, and they may replace your cover at no cost. Try that.

remove plastic lug nut covers form old cover and remove them, new cover just push on make sure covers you ordered are are the same size

The one I purchased came with the cover and then I reupholstered it. I've never seen the cover sold separately. Perhaps you could call the company, that has the chair with the cover, and see if they will send you one? OR even a damaged? Especially, if your going to reupholstering it.

The iron rest is not removable in design. I am sure there are industrious people who can blow torch it off, but it is intended not to be removable. As I mentioned in my review of the ironing board, I thought too it was a daffy feature that would not add value and just reduce the length of the ironing surface -- I was way wrong. That iron rest is now one of my favorite features of the ironing board. No more worrying about the iron tipping over when I pause in my ironing, no more worries about the cats jumping on the board and knocking it over or hurting themselves -- this is a terrific feature and now i would be unable to live without it.

Hi Nikhil, if you look in the back of the lid, there is a button. press on that button and pull forward. this should slide out the seat cover and you replace it. Hope this was helpful.

I agree with the advice that Sharon offered. If its just the plastic cover, use it without it. If for some reason youcan not, buy a new one. New is more fun. Good luck Gerry

It sounds like your ironing board surface is irregular, go out and buy a new board cover and I bet your unwanted creases will be gone.

I uninstalled the seat, put the cover on, then I pinned the cover into the sponge part of the seat using s hooks and re installed the seat. there are videos on this on youtube as well.

I don't iron that often, so the cover that is on it, to me is just fine, but it is not very thick, sorry for no help at all.

We did the same thing. When we replaced the cover it worked fine. Cover has to be replaced.

You may be able to remove the iron rest with a blowtorch perhaps. This iron rest is not designed to be removed so without heavy equipment, you would be unable to remove it. I was skeptical about this feature and after purchasing this ironing board, the iron rest is one of the things I love about this ironing board. It is a very good safety feature for me and ensure i or my cats will not knock the iron off the board or burn ourselves with an upright iron sitting on the board. I love this feature.
