Is the durable enough for an iron on?

I think the fabric would handle low heat for putting an iron on. Placing a cloth between the iron and apron would protect it .

HI! I've never tried to iron these considering they are so cheap (yet extremely durable). I can't remember what its made of, but it may withstand an iron.

They ABSOLUTELY cannot handle an iron, even on low heat. They MELT. And when they melt, they leave a waxy residue on your iron plate that is virtually impossible to remove. AAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!

To my best estimate it will as long as it is not super-hot or left there too long.

I would agree with the previous responses. It's definitely a quality-made iron and love the fact that it's cordless!!! A lot less "dancing around" with the cord when I iron....and I iron everything!!

Yes. There are two shorter wire rods that the iron rests on. I've had this for about a year now and it's great! I took a better picture for you just now. Check out the link to see what the iron sits on. http://www.slooser.com/iPhone/amazonanswer.jpg

We used it for crafts (on wood and plastic), but not on fabric . It worked well, and I don't think it said anything about ironing. It seemed like it would work well on fabric also.

I ironed it onto my under armor compression capris. It did iron on fine - but only survived a few washes.

It does get quite hot, an I often iron with the steam off and only turn it on when needed (I also a spray fabric finish to avoid using steam). As an indicator of the high temperature the iron reaches, I note that I recently made the mistake of ironing up close to the buttons and the thin sole plate was able to melt and sever the synthetic threads holding the buttons, so I suspect the synthetic fusibles would easily melt as required.

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

No. Just the flaps that support an iron have to be bent slightly and the four rubber studs provided pressed into the flaps

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

Yes it is durable enough, however i wouldn't recommend it because the fabric will start to tear away from the middle, from the children pulling at all angles.

Absolutely! Just be careful with your neck and the iron-extremely hot. Practice before your turns on the iron.

Most irons will usually last a very long time when used in a hobby but if you use it several hours daily for business then it won't last as long. The unit comes with a spare heat element and I would not purchase another until the one in the iron gores out. I have three irons, a high wattage gun iron, a small low wattage pencil and this iron. So depending on the item you are working on you may need another iron. I'm now looking for a small butane blow torch which I'd useful for heat shrinking tubing.

If you drilled out the rivets that hold it on, yes. If n it, no. It doesn't seem like it would be hard to drill out the rivets.I love everything about the ironing board except the iron holder. It cradles the iron rather than is a stand area for it. It feels awkward. Otherwise it is rad. My hubby is a VERY large man-shirts are huge, this board is wide enough that the shirt doesn't touch the ground while I'm ironing it.It's sturdy and seems like it will last for years.

This is the reason I bought this product. My wife would always leave her iron on. You can have it on while on the holder.

I just heated up my iron and gave it a try just to be sure before answering... No, this is not an iron on product. Also I would say it is a bit heavier than medium and somewhat paper like. I use it for machine embroidery in the hoop. Hope that helps.

Yes, and it also has two pairs of straps on the under side that pull it snug - these straps hold to each other with Velcro making it very easy to pull it tight and conform to your ironing board. The surface will still be very slightly puffed up but if you run your hot iron over the cover - basically iron the cover without any clothes on it, in about 3 passes of your iron it becomes very flat and just right to use.

The padding is adequate. I use a metallic pad next to my ironing board to reflect the heat from my iron, then cover that pad with a cotton cover (also comes with padding). My old metallic pad lasted 40+ years, but I change my upper cotton pad about every two years. I am a quilter and like the extra "cush" for opening up seams. I am also old school enough to iron some of our clothes...
