🧺 Whitmor Cream Tabletop Ironing Board - Compact and Convenient, 12.0x32.0x33.75 Review

I loved this product and used it next to my sewing machine today to iron the cotton face masks I was making. After about 30 minutes of ironing, I noticed that the fabric of the cover had turned brown. I'm not sure why this could happen - before I got this board I was using my 20 year old big board which never had brown stains on the fabric cover after 100 hours of ironing.

I doubt it. I'm giving it three stars because of the size and comfort, but I think calling it a wood table top is misleading. The ironing board is not real wood. This is MDF. So how can they sell it as a wooden deck board? And the short video says their products aren't TN, but the ironing board says 'Made in China'. I hope this lasts at least. The time will show.

I bought this primarily for ironing tight fitting masks (with a curved center seam) so I use the tip board a lot. In the end, the legs were too close together towards the middle, so any pressure on the tip caused the board to tip over. However, the legs were easily moved with a ratchet screwdriver (no drill needed). In my photo you can see the original screw holes and where I moved the legs. Otherwise it's ok and serves its purpose.

UPDATE 4/22/20 used. I don't know if I can get rid of this. It doesn't bother me yet, but I think it will get worse over time. **This is my first ironing board. I wanted something small enough to put on my desk but big enough to cover enough of the stuff I need to iron. It does both. I haven't had any problems with it and it's easy to remove too.

I found the design and leg placement made this worktop unstable. Using the front end of the board caused the other end to pop out. Placing an iron on one end and straightening clothes on the other end with even minimal effort can throw them up in the air. IMHO the legs should be placed closer to the ends to provide a stable, flat surface. I intend to report this to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Unfortunately I would not recommend buying this product as it is now.

Chipboard with fine foam and coating. For my use I have to modify it to withstand. I use Steam in my Bag Making for thick pads, so I add a layer of vinyl upside down UNDER the thin foam to waterproof the chipboard and not keep it as is. I bought this particular one for the width and mainly the short legs for stability. I'm happy with that. I made a 30" x 40" ironing board out of plywood, cotton wool and cotton but now I use it for my large cutting mat and I'm tired of transferring it to the…
