How sturdy is the ironing board when you iron on it? Does it shift or rattle?

I have no problem with it at all. It's small, but sturdy, and kind of locks in place so it doesn't move. Mine is just mounted under my cutting table. Very handy.

Very sturdy. Made of solid thick wood and after extending it locks into place. I'm a seamstress and use it exclusively every day. I highly recommend it.

I have had this installed for about 5 months. Works great. Sturdy. Just what I meeded.

It looks in place. Moves a little during ironing but not enough to matter in my opinion.

As long a you mount the brackets, this ironing board is plenty strong to handle everyday ironing.

When unfolding, you can hear it click into place when a little pressure is placed on the front end. After that, it is very sturdy. No shifting or rattling.

I would not recommend it, With the way the legs cross there is no comfortable way to sit at it and it is not that sturdy. I use it to hold my tabletop ironing board to use next to my sewing but would not try to do anything more than that with it.

why yes it is... I love this ironing board, it is wider than the usual... It is heavy, but that keeps it from tipping over. Love mine

The gap between the ironing board holders is a little over 6.5" wide, so as long as the main leg part of the ironing board isn't wider than that, it should fit. As far as weight limit goes, it's pretty sturdy. I just went and pulled down on mine and it didn't budge. You might need to use a couple of wall anchors with yours but the holder itself should work fine for you!

I do very limited ironing - a few items per week but felt the same way about the flimsy boards. This one is tough and sturdy! It is well worth the money!

I would like to know the answer to that question, also. That is what I don't like about the ironing board. There is no need for the large iron rest & I would like to remove it.

It works fine for me. Have to adjust little bit while ironing but big enough. I do most of the ironing without problem. Better than the smaller size of the ironing board.

I haven't had any problems with the board rusting! This is really a wonderful ironing board - I LOVE IT:)

I just purchased this ironing table ($60 at Marshalls) and set it up for the first time this morning. The instructions say the tray can hold up to 10kg (about 22 pounds).

I don't have anything bad to say about this ironing board...cover's fine as far as I'm concerned. Strong? It's hanging on the back of a hollow door and I've ironed everything from shirts to tablecloths with no issues whatsoever! HIGHLY recommend!

The ironing mat itself is quite sturdy, & does not appear to 'leak' heat to the surface you're ironing on. If I were ironing on granite, however, I would place a larger towel or something underneath the mat, in case your iron went off the mat slightly - wouldn't want to scratch the granite.

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.

Sorry, we're still in the remodeling process and I haven't used it yet for actual ironing. However, there is a fold in the cover fabric where the ironing board bends in half for storage. I expect to add thin padding or a towel when I use the ironing board, but I had to do that with the full-sized board I had before, which had a much thinner cover pad.

You may want to thinnk about returning it. Mine is about a year old and is totally solid. Never heard a rattling noise.

I DO have a steam generator iron and it holds perfectly. It is sturdy enough!

I believe mine has always squeaked a bit, but it never caused problems. My iron just recently died; I probably had it for 10+ years.

Mine is sturdy, does not wobble. Our household does not have anyone over 200lbs.
