Pros: A "stow-away" design that is easy to use and store when finished. Chrome construction fits almost any room decor.

Cons: Small size makes it difficult to use for ironing large items. Installation is somewhat challenging. More expensive than other models we reviewed.

Summary: Consumers who need a smaller, space-saving ironing board will be pleased with this model; but it's not the best choice for those who have large ironing jobs.

Pros: A basic model with a mid-range price. Has an ironing surface that is 24 percent larger than most standard models.

Cons: The quality of the pad is lacking compared to other models we tested. Some reviewers also noted that the height adjustment mechanism is difficult to operate.

Summary: A good choice for consumers who want a basic ironing board with a larger surface, but similar models we tested offer better quality.

Pros: A compact and portable model that comes at an affordable price.

Cons: We found that some materials are difficult to iron on this model's wooden top, creating uneven ironing.

Summary: The ideal choice for consumers who need a compact ironing board but don't want to spend a lot of money.

Pros: Affordable and wide, this model's large ironing surface provides ample space. We love its eco-friendly biodegradable Fibertech material.

Cons: Some reviewers found that this ironing board's legs have the tendency to be wobbly. Larger size makes it awkward to move.

Summary: This model's value price and spacious ironing surface make it our top pick for best value available.
