4.0 out of 5 stars Very convenient but a couple small issues, October 7, 2007

It is a very handy space saver and is very stable and sturdy. However, it was not the easiest thing to install, although once I finally figured it out, it wasn't too hard. I don't particularly find the design of the plastic cover attractive at all and since it is in a spot where it is visible, that bothers me a little. Plus, when it folds down, there is a hump in the middle that doesn't go all the way flat. I don't do a ton of ironing and so it is nice to have it stored out of the way - plus it is up so it stays clean and I don't have to move it to sweep or vacuum. However, because I don't do a lot of ironing, it was a little harder to justify the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally Satisfied, October 8, 2007

JD "Jan" (NY, NY) - See all my reviews

When I turned the small bedroom into a dressing room and had a California closet built in, I then realized that I had no space for or to store an ironing board (and if I had them put one in when they built the closet it would be very expensive), therefore I had to search for an ironing center that folds (not knowing that they did have such a thing). Also I must have it in the same dressing room. I went on line and checked and found the Better Lifestyle Wall Mounted Ironing Center Full Size. It was a charm and all I ever wanted. My husband installed it and made sure he anchored it on a beam in the wall because when ironing you are going to add some kind of pressure. It has remained there ever since and that is approximately 3 years ago. I was so happy with it that I purchased one for downstairs. I didn't just stop there, I gave one to my daughter in FL as a housewarming gift and she is very happy with it. You know what is so great about this ironing board not only it saves on space, but it swivels. The area left after the CA closet was built is about 2 feet behind the door for the opening of the door, so I definitely needed a spacesaver to fit there and not prevent the door from opening. I was able to put the wall mounted lifestyle ironing center there because it swivels in any direction and when I am through with it I just fold it up and flip it back with no problem. If I have to step out while I am in the process of ironing, I don't even have to close the ironing board, I just swivel it out of the way enough to open the door, go out and return back to my ironing with no bother. You sure cannot beat that luxury. Common sense prevails that you have to anchor it on a beam (since it flips out standalone) if you want it to stay in place for a very long time. What was also amazing is the good quality material used to produce this ironing center which should make it last a lifetime.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding Product! Just what we needed., October 18, 2007

We remodeled our small laundry room. We shopped for an ironing board that could mount onto a wall. Previously we had had our floor-standing ironing board in the laundry and it took up an entire wall. We put shelving on that wall as part of our remodel and searched for the ironing board that could now be mounted on that wall, too. The ironing boards that come in cabinets, mount either inside the wall or on its surface and are not very useful. They do not fold or swivel. They just come straight out, 90 degrees from the wall. When we saw the video of the Better Lifestyle Wall Mounted Ironing Center (full size), we were thrilled!. Someone had invented exactly what we needed. We could mount it on the shelving wall and it could be used straight out from the wall or parallel to it. We blocked securely behind the wallboard and could then fasten the ironing board securely to the wall & blocking behind it. It's functioned perfectly. We've had it for a year and a half. I usually use it parallel to the shelving wall. It fits between shelves like another shelf. If I have an item that is very long, I simply swivel the ironing board out over the floor. When it's swiveled out like that, it nearly touches the washer & dryer on the adjacent wall--that's how narrow our laundry is. But that is no problem. I iron away and then swivel it back parallel to the wall that it's mounted on. I hardly ever fold it up because it's like a shelf that I can fold laundry on. This ironing board is solid and large enough for our trousers and sheets. The space in our laundry is much better used!
