Review on Household Essentials 122101 Tabletop Ironing by Heather Shaw

Of course, I have an ironing board. Full-fledged, large, with an iron stand, a socket and other convenient tricks. It is stored folded behind the closet, and I take it out only when a big ironing is planned) Well, I'm too lazy to get it out, install it for the sake of a pair of T-shirts or some other small things. Therefore, I stroke something on the little things on the wide armrest of the sofa, having previously laid a diaper on it)) Of course, this is not very convenient ... But quickly)) And so, at some point, I caught myself thinking that I needed a small ironing board. Small - in the sense of a desktop. And I began an Internet search for a suitable board for me. The choice turned out to be quite small ... It’s even strange, there are a lot of large ironing boards, with different utilities and conveniences, and a few small ones. Two desktop boards, which the search engine immediately gives out, did not immediately suit me because the basis of the board is chipboard. That is, when using an iron with a steamer or a steamer directly, the base will become unusable after some time. The second negative is the non-removable cover. Of course, I do not intend to use the board as a food stand, but situations are different and I just want to be able to wash the cover if necessary, and replace it if necessary. Besides, Soon the search led me to the ideal, in my opinion, ironing board, but it turned out to be from a store that has recently stopped working in our country. But, fortunately, I managed to find a similar board)) So, Gimi Pollicino desktop ironing board The working surface is 73 cm by 32 cm. Not large, but quite sufficient for small things. Weight - 1.3 kg. This sticker tells us There is also a large accompanying piece of paper with some necessary information on both sides and even a picture that clearly informs that it’s still not worth sitting on the board) Well, it also informs that there are no spare parts for the board. As far as I understand, you can't buy a replacement case either. But, the case is not a model dress, so you don’t need special talent to sew a new one yourself)) The color of the cover is unobtrusive, pleasant. On sale there were boards with a cover in pink, but this color seemed prettier to me)) The base of the ironing surface is a metal mesh. As in full-fledged, large ironing boards. Folding legs. Pleased that the legs in the unfolded position are fixed. Therefore, spontaneous folding will not occur during ironing) The feet are rubber. And thanks to this, the board does not slip on the table. Even with very intense smoothing) Hook for easy storage. The board can be hung in a closet (if the space in the closet allows it). Or on a hook behind a door. Or even on a carnation in the wall, instead of a picture)) The cover is removable. It is tightened on the board with a cord and fixed with a plastic retainer. In my opinion, not very convenient, but it keeps securely) The cover has a tag with washing instructions and useful information about the composition of the fabric of the cover and lining. Under the cover, on the grid - a soft substrate In general, everything is very well thought out and very convenient. I have been using the board for a little over a month, almost every day, and I have never regretted the purchase. Very comfortable, washed one or two T-shirts, immediately stroked and put away. Small board for small things after daily washing)) Of course, this board is not designed to iron a bunch of bed linen or towels on it ... But something on the little things, to iron or steam a couple of T-shirts or some children's things - quite. And to sum it up, the pros: compactness Mesh metal base Removable 100% cotton cover Hook for easy storage I didn't find any cons, personally.
