DIY Kitchen - Pull-Out Ironing Board?

4 replies

elm11 · 30/10/2022 21:11

Thinking to order some cabinets for a new utility room from DIY kitchens and came across their pull-out ironing board:
www.diy-kitchens.com/kitchen-units/base/pull-out-storage/400mm-400mm-pull-out-ironing-board/wp16965/#.Y17nUqSnxPw

Not sure if it is sturdy enough or can substitute a free standing ironing board but it looks interesting.

Does anyone have this one or maybe a similar pull-out ironing board? Is it a good idea or rather impractical for some reasons?

That looks like it takes up an entire cupboard. That's fine if you have the space. Where do you currently store your ironing board? Mine is under the stairs so I would rather keep it there where it doesn't take up much room than give up a cupboard for it. Also if I do iron I do it in front of the TV so I don't die of boredom obviously this would mean ironing in your utility.

@elm11 I have one in my utility room. It only takes up a drawer and is useful if you want to iron something quickly but is actually very small so useless for anything bigger than a shirt!
I couldn't manage with just that ironing board so you still need somewhere to store a full size board so doesn't save you space!

I had one. It's was too small for anything other than a quick and easy iron.

the mechanism underneath makes getting the clothes flat on the top very fiddly.

I had it taken out in the end. Didn't miss it.

I’ve had one for years and love it. Only takes up a drawer and so much easier than having to keep getting a board out.
