Household Essentials Stowaway in-Wall Ironing Board Finish: White

This works well, installs in a snap. I had it in the wall within 45 minutes of delivery! Plenty of room for the iron and the spray water bottle most of us use while ironing. The directions leave a bit to be desired (they mostly all do these days, so this may help. You'll need the following tools to install this ironing board cabinet: Stud finder Sheetrock saw Drill and bit set Phillips screwdriver or power screwdriver 2' level Tape measure Pencil Vacuum cleaner I strongly suggest that you choose the location carefully as you are going to recess this into a wall. Be sure there is no electrical wires or plumbing pipes in the wall cavity you are installing this into. Also, if your interior wall that you have selected has studs on 24" centers you'll need to frame the opening down to 14 1/2" in order to mount the cabinet. The door attachment to the recessed cabinet is a little tricky to do by yourself, you may want to have someone give you a hand holding the door in place while you screw it in. Be sure to drill the holes into the cabinet BEFORE you install it into the wall or you'll struggle to get the door to hang properly. My wife loves the ironing board out of the way and easy to access. In addition, right out of the box it looks great on the wall.

Had this installed professionally in my laundry room. Love the hideaway feature. Doesn't take up any space and the board folds up nicely and tucks away inside, I can also keep spray starch & other small items on the shelf. Love mine.

I've done a lot of research on stow-away ironing boards and finally had decided to give this one a go. It looked a little cheap in the picture (maybe because it was white) but I had a lot of faith purchasing from Amazon, because of their excellent customer service. I can't describe how happy I am with this product. It did not look cheap, was made with precision, very easy to install, convenient to use (I love that the board swivels to either side), looks very nice in the wall and soooo much cheaper than any other websites. My other concern was that it is a short board (I've always used a standard long one)but once I needed to iron a tablecloth I just folded it in half for ironing and it wasn't a problem at all. It is such a breeze to iron these days and I love not having an ironing board and an iron taking up room around the house. It's been almost a year of owning it and I'm still so very excited about this purchase! Thank you, Amazon! If it wasn't for you, I would've ended up purchasing a very similar product from Lowe's at 3-times the price.

Good news: -- We found the instructions to be clear. -- All components were present and the hardware was appropriate. -- Installed product looks good and works well. Bad news: -- The predrilled holes in the door for the hinge hardware were wayyyy too tiny for screwing into oak. We had to predrill a larger diameter. -- One set of predrilled holes was "off" in its placement in one direction. We used the hinge as a template, marked our own, and re-did the predrilled holes. -- I wanted a natural oak finish -- just urethane. The unfinished oak (door and trim) needed a *lot* of sanding before it was appropriate to brush on the urethane. -- There were a series of deep knicks along the top edge of the door (I'm tall-ish, I would see it after installation) that needed heavy sanding to make less obvious. -- There was a defect in the oak trim of the "box" where an edge was splintering off. Again, more sanding to at least avoid injury in the future. I'm not talking about minor imperfections vs unreasonable standards of a perfectionist. I'm talking about shoddy work in the manufacturer's wood shop that one could fix but, for the price and the advertising claims, I didn't expect to have to do that much!

Well packaged and mostly assembled. Door appears to be molded mdf with a textured vinyl wrap on the outside. I made to mistake of dropping it while mounting the door to the frame which tweaked the corner more easily than I would have expected - so be very careful handling it and be sure to install the door before mounting the frame into the wall. It would have been nice to have door hinge pilot holes on both sides of the cabinet to ease door instal regardless of which side you choose to mount it on. Also took me a bit to understand how to mount the hinges to the door since the hinges are a bit unusual. However once I figured it out it was easy and effective. The board itself and the internal mechanism works well so far and no issue with the fit of the board cover. The back is somewhat flimsy but that is pretty inconsequential since it’s buried in the wall. Overall a decent unit for the price point

Love this! The swivel feature is perfect and I use it all the time. It holds an iron inside, which is convenient! But I have an outlet very close, which is needed. The only thing I added was a child proof lock because if you open the door, the board could come down hard, so I highly recommend child proofing this! Great quality and just what I wanted! When installed, my laundry room was remodeled down to the studs, so we knew exactly how this would line up and had to make some adjustments.

This is a decent design and functions well enough (the MDF ironing "board" is a bit floppy and we may add a bit more padding under the cover). Given few decent alternatives it may be the best at this price point. That said, the craftsmanship and some of the materials choices seem more like 7th grade shop class than a professionally manufactured item. Too many shortcuts, where a few cents spent on better materials and attentive assembly could have made a better product for little or no additional cost: - The interior box is plywood with a paper thin face veneer. This means it tended to lift up one of the shelves and it is much too thin to take a clear finish or stain without a blotchy appearance. A better ply should be used. - The oak door is reasonably nice, but ours came with a large defect on the inside panel, a small defect on the outside panel, and wood not well matched in the frame (it took extra effort in staining to get all the frame pieces the same tone). Rather than sending out lousy doors and replacing them when customers complain, the manufacturer should get them right the first time. In our case, we'll live with the defects, since there seems to be no guarantee a new door will be any better. - The screws are very cheap -- three of the heads snapped off during installation. Better screws and hinges might add a few cents to the cost. - The metal heat shield is crudely attached, with staples through the aluminum and into the wood. The unit would be easier to stain or paint inside if this were attached with screws or, later, with brads -- I'd rather spend a minute attaching it than taking care to stain or paint around it. - While the door and surround are actual oak, there is an oak-like trim around the sides. This is actually MDF (dense particle board) with another paper thin veneer, in oak. The main problem with these side pieces was the amateurish construction -- one piece was 1/8" too long and the whole thing was fastened with gaps and discrepancies where it fit the face frame. The interior box was stapled to this from the inside. Given the thin veneer over MDF, attempting to sand things even is likely to end in disaster. There's really no good excuse for the sloppy assembly. - In addition, the trim from the face panel back to the wall is incomplete at the top and bottom -- presumably because most people won't see this unless they are tall (top trim) or bend down (bottom trim). However, it will trap dust at the pocket that's left at the top and it does show as missing from the sides if your wall isn't perfectly flat. How much more would a few square inches of oak faced MDF cost? One point I'd add for those with 6" studs is that the side trim pieces can be trimmed back about 1" to set the unit deeper in the wall (if you have 2x6 rather than 2x4 studs). At least 1" of side panel looks necessary to hold the face frame. You can also fill in your own missing top and bottom trim pieces. This is what we did, and having the whole unit an inch deeper in the wall looks better to us. Overall, the ironing board looks and works well enough when all is said and done. However, the manufacturer should be ashamed at the many shortcuts in quality and execution -- all of which could easily be avoided.

This unit is well built and easy to install. It took less than 30 minutes start to finish.

Very easy to set up. Ironing board is sturdy and takes up little space. The storage inside is also nice. I had to change Iron as mine had a wide base and did not fit. There is a place on the door for opening, but I added a pull knob and it looks great!

Le meuble ne se fixe pas comme une étagère normale, il faut découper le mur! Et ceci, on le découvre dans le mode d'emploi, une fois tout déballé.

OK - but not as well made as I would have liked

I will write more later. As of now, this product does not fit between our two by fours. The builder of our house put them too close and we can't fit the cabinet in the wall. The product itself is well made and exactly what we wanted. Wish the manufacturer had made the box a bit narrower knowing that house building is not always an exact science.

As described and prompt delivery.
