I don't think there is a bride today who would get an ironing board as a shower gift.lol I have the one from WM also. I really like it and it has the holder on the end but it did discolor from the heat of the iron. Mine also came with 2 covers. I did have to add another piece of batting under the cover. My fabric kept coming off with imprints from the ironing board. Oh, it also has a little rack underneath with a little fabric "box" to keep extra things in. Right now that needs to be cleaned out. I just wish I had a straight one. With that pointed end, you have to keep moving the large pieces of fabric to get it all ironed out.

My first ironing board...from a century ago had a hinged triangle on the narrow tip end so that if you needed a square ironing surface just flipped that up...sort of like a drop leaf table...had it for many years.......it was also height adjustable so I could sit, watch soap operas, and iron every Tuesday! It somehow got lost in the shuffle of a move...now just a "regular" one...but it is height adjustable so I can just sit and spin from sewing machine to ironing board......

I have looked at this ironing board and thought seriously about purchasing it. Other than the iron holder, do you like it? Is it sturdy? I am using the same ironing board I received at my wedding shower 49 years ago. It is heavy and I like it but think the wider width would be wonderful.

I just found one of those 18 inch ironing boards at Goodwill yesterday. It was 7.00 and I got 25 percent off that...Glad you posted this. I know not what to do....Sorry you had to go through that.....

I have the same ironing board and Shark iron. I have never used the "iron holder" thingie. So have not had that problem and I did remove the "holder from the bottom. I would love to have the "BIG" ironing board but cannot not justify the $129 -$259 pricetag. Maybe someday?/ Naw......

My sister in law has no idea how to use an ironing board, much less an iron. If it doesn't come out of the dryer wrinkle free-then it goes into the trash.

I have the 18" board and love it. Neither of my irons fit that caddy thing and I just took it off - as well as the shelf on the bottom - but I love the board and it is definitely sturdy!!
