Joseph or brabantia

42 replies

Dasher789 · 14/07/2021 21:16

I need a new ironing board, I can’t decide between the Joseph and Joseph glide or a brabantia one. I think the Joseph one is new but does anyone have it? I can never decide if I think their products are well built or gimmicky but it’s definitely the nicer looking of the two… any advice?

Sorry no advice m, just that I thought this was a baby name thread Blush. I thought they were two very opposite ends of the spectrum!

How funny! I presumed it was about bins!

dudsville · 14/07/2021 21:26

But I also assume brabantia to be better than Joseph. I have no evidence for this!

lottiegarbanzo · 14/07/2021 21:28

Have you thought about Barabbas? Or maybe Barnaby if playing it safe.

HollysBush · 14/07/2021 21:28

Lol, me too. Thought it was a baby names thread. Sorry I’ve no experience of the products.

IHaveBrilloHair · 14/07/2021 21:29

I seriously thought it was a baby name thread and was about to opine that Brabantia is a stupid arse name!🤣

for an ironing board I'd go with it though

WhoNeedsaManOfTheWorld · 14/07/2021 21:31

I was coming on to say Joseph fgs but i too thought it was a baby name thread Grin

Tibtab · 14/07/2021 21:32

Ha ha yes I also thought baby names initially 😂😂

MotherofPearl · 14/07/2021 21:36

I can't speak for the Joseph Joseph one but I have a Brabantia ironing board and I'm very happy with it. It's nice and sturdy and the cover has lasted well.

@MotherofPearl thanks, do you happen to know the model? They seem to have a wide selection

@Dasher789 you did post in the right place, it just popped up on active threads.

AndeanMountainCat · 14/07/2021 21:45

Totally Brabantia, it’s so modern.

You’ll have to give him a funky middle name such as Tin-Opener or Pedal-Bin. Adorable.

😀

PPCD · 14/07/2021 21:47

I thought this thread would be about washing lines - love my Brabantia. Due to brand loyalty I'd got with Brabantia.

JenniferAllisonPhillipaSue · 14/07/2021 21:52

There was me thinking Brabantia was a really strange name ...

OneRingToRuleThemAll · 14/07/2021 22:01

My bread bin is a Brabantia. I came here to suggest you can't possibly name a baby after a kitchen gadget.

ODFOx · 14/07/2021 22:06

Try them both and then decide.
My thoughts are that Brabant is is solid but old fashioned, whereas Joseph is style over substance, but they are both inexpensive brands and either may be what you want so try before you commit.
