No problem. The plastic cover just comes off by lifting it a bit and pulling off at the height the unit is installed. It does not get near the floor.

If you are mounting it inside a cabinet you probably will want to use it without the cover. It can be mounted high enough for there to be drawers below it.

The ironing board hinges on the bottom and folds up for storage. The cover slips over it and when removed can be set aside. However, the ironing board when in use will have to be about 8 inches above any cupboard because of the wall brackets.

In theory, this may work to mount the wall assembly above the cabinet. It will fold down across a cabinet mounted below the wall mount. My concern is that the board would be too high, unless the cabinet was very short. You may loose the back half of the board for ironing because it is over the cabinet.

My ironing board is 49X19" and the "C" cover just barely covers the sides and curves underneath. It works extremely well with a set of elastic fasteners to keep it tightly in place. Buying the size "B" replacement [49x15] would likely give you a similar situation. I'd recommend you buy a set of the elastic fasteners with the cover. Also get a replacement pad to go underneath as the attached foam is way too thin to be effective.

My Shelf/Drawer space is 24" wide. You also need to be able to remove the base that it is going to be secured to in order to mount the base of the ironing board. It is extremely heavy! A shelf works much better than a drawer, just use the front of a drawer to finish it off.

We use the iron to iron sheets for our Bed And Breakfast, including fitted bottom sheets for a king size bed. They are first ironed as a single layer, and then folded and creased with the iron. Can't find a better way to do them.

My small table-top ironing board is a vintage one and they are not made any more. The illustration to the left is not what mine looked like. I was just looking for a new cover, and my board was about 4 inches longer that the one pictured here. I got the cover for the one on the left and since I was desperate, used it on my vintage board, but it was too short for my board. It worked, but not as well as I would have liked. Hope this helps you, but my board is different from this one.

Just below the height that you want the ironing board to be. I would have to check but decide on the board height and take about 2 inches off that.

Yes, when folded, the legs will stick out more than just the ironing surface. About another foot or so on each side.

The board is pretty solid....my ironing board has not left any patterns on my clothes. Maybe you need to change the iron board covering.

Hi! I bought this item while ago, I like this item because it durable and I think if you install rack properly it can hold ironing board for long time. Sincerely, Anatoliy 06/12/14

My ironing board is 42 1/2 inches long and it was a very tight fit. You will obviously have to fold 5 inches under. A smaller size would be better.

When I folded it in half to move it, it "puffed up" at the fold (gap in the middle -- it doesn't fold "flat"). You probably COULD z-fold it, but it wouldn't be tidy and it would probably unfold itself unless you piled something on it. I wouldn't expect to store it in your average closet without it taking over the space. As the mattress ages, the cotton batting (stuffing) will break down somewhat, but by the time it does this you'll probably want a new one (just like bed pillows -- once they're fold-able they've broken down and are less supportive and comfortable).

This is just the pad that goes under the cover so your cover should cinch down the extra material if the pad hangs over the edge. Or you could always cut off the excess since it will be under the ironing board cover, even If the cut is not perfect it wouldn't be visible.

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.

My door is just short of 1 1/2" and it fits fine. My question to you is where did you find an over the door ironing board. I do need a new one and cannot find one. Can find the cover - which did not fit my board - Velcro too short in the back corners. Please let me know if you found just a board.

It depends on how long? My longer shirts drape the bottom rod sligjtly. The bottom rod is adjustable though so you could adjust it to fit long tops on the top rod. I have my pants on hangers where they are folded half way on the bottom rod and that works just fine. All in all though this is a very sturdy rack if you put it together correctly. I have many clothes on it and use the top for storage use.

I would have to say that it will NOT fit under your bed, unless it sits very high off of the ground but I am not sure of the measurements. When storing you just lift the two side levers up and the legs close together to store but due to the weight of the body of the Ironman you will have difficulty in storing it under the bed. It does not lay flat at all as the body is set as a rotating piece. You could close it and lean it against the wall so that the part where your head lays leans against the wall to maintain it upright while folded. I always just left it open in a spare room or leaned against the wall in a hall closet. Easy enough to fold and move but with issues with my back I found it easier not to have to move it alot.

That is the size of the ironing board I own. It's a tight fit, but it works. There are 2 sets of velcro straps under the board to hold it taut. I had to add another (very short) piece of velcro in order for it to reach across the underside of the board. I also have some old "garter" type of fasteners that I used to make it taut all over the board.
