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.

It feels and looks like wrought iron. Probably cast metal. It's heavy and looks black to me. Goes with a rustic look. Mine is screwed into wood so it doesn't wiggle.

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

I think it is made of steel. I have put mine through a lot and it is very well made. Have had no problems with it.

I have no complaint about the pad. This ironing board continues to serve me very well. I recommend it.

Hi Lisa, no this is a solid board. Although it was a Christmas present and we have not used it yet due to it being for use on Lake Pend Orielle in northern Idaho, it looks like a very nice, high quality board.

Your question is about the board itself and not about the blue ironing board cover which is what I purchased here. However, (and your board may be a little different), my board has a round, smooth button at the bottom of the outer frame, on the right hand side (it kind of blends in with the look of the frame, but it IS a button). If yours is the same, press it in with your right thumb, and maybe use your left hand to kind of guide the board down, and you should be all set. That's all I can tell you about that. Hope it works for you. : )

It is made of a hard smooth Masonite material. No glue involved. Not a partical board at all.

the board itself is made out of metal covered with an ironing board cover. I love mine!

It's particle board covered in while formica-type laminate. I was surprised that it doesn't look cheap, but it doesn't. It's well constructed, and after using it for a while, it is proving to be a real bargain for someone who does not sew constantly but wants space to lay out the pieces being sewed. I'm also finding the wheels are pretty handy for moving it around, and they lock. I don't think it can be bet it for the price!

The 2 I bought were made of the mesh material. They have been great and I haven't noticed too much kinking. I try to lay mine out in long loops to prevent some of that. Also, I have found it is very important to always use a pressure regulator. One of mine recently started showing tiny pin holes and I am certain it is due to the one time I did not use a pressure regulator.

The one I bought is smooth vinyl. If you are looking for one made out of mesh, I think there is another one that is mesh.

The sides are mesh with sturdy fabric inserts. I do not know what the fabric is but it feels like a nylon blend to me. I think this basket is extremely sturdy... it has carried 3 loads of wash (I have a small washer)... a weeks worth of clothes for my grandchildren... it is flexible but sturdy... and folds flat so you can put it out of the way. I think whatever it is made of is fine with me!

It is a polished Cotten . I have not put it on my bed yet because I am redoing a lot of things in my home ! When you look at it , you will think of fairey tales . I absolutely Love it! I think if you took it out of dryer when it is finished then I think you would not have to iron it !!!!

I actually worried about the same thing. When folded the legs extend past the iron rest so there is not problem with it being in the way. I love this ironing board. You will need to add a pad as the one that comes with it is very thin and when you look at the same board that is at Bed Bath and Beyond it has a much thicker padded cover. When I added one I was much happier.
