I have one of the Brabantia Boards and its great, very strong and sturdy - you can tell it's built to last, reaches a great height so absolutely no stooping no matter how tall you are, and nice and wide so ironing is quicker as you can cover more area without having to constantly readjust things on the board. This one is great for ironing smaller items of clothing and perfect if you’re short on both space and time, you can simply fold down the mini legs and then pop it onto a work surface or table and start pressing.

The long and spacious board makes ironing even larger items a breeze, without the need to constantly turn and readjust the fabric. If this cover isn’t for you, then this board's covers are available in seven other colours/patterns. It also adjusts better than other boards as you can choose exactly what height you want up to a maximum of 1m which makes it more pleasant for those of us with longer legs. If you’re limited on storage space, however, or iron less regularly, you may choose to opt for a more compact model that is easier to bring out as and when required.When their ironinc board cover has seen better days, many people start looking for a completely new ironing board. After spending hours testing ironing boards, we've found it is worth paying a bit more for an ironing board – this gets you a more stable ironing surface. It’s worth noting that the lighter shade covers can discolour over time, so you may want to opt for a darker or patterned shade if you’re keen to keep it looking pristine. This wasn't an issue when the board was weighed down a bit, but it could still prove annoying over time. Whether you’re just looking for a new print or your old ironing board cover is in need of replacing – a new cover is sure to bring more fun to your ironing in no time at all.

We also looked out for any negative reviews, where Mumsetters highlighted products that they felt were poor quality, difficult to use or simply were not up to the task in hand. Sturdy, stable, and designed for easy ironing - this standard ironing board B is setting the standards.The four-leg frame is foldable and compact enough to slide under a bed and it offers a decent range of height adjustment to make ironing more comfortable. However, I find it slides around the floor when using it, little annoying, maybe an idea to introduce rubber stoppers on the feet.
