I don't usually write review on Amazon products, but had to weigh in on this hopefully to save other people some frustration. First, let me say this product does the job... it hangs an ironing board and iron nicely on a wall to save space. BUT... be prepared for a MAJOR hassle to get it installed. As others have noted, the screws that come with this product are not long enough to make it through the tubing to engage the drywall screw. If you decide to but this product, be prepared for a trip to your local Home Depot or hardware store to get hardware that actually works. I recommend Buildex E-Z Ancor Self-Drilling Drywall Anchor. Comes in a package of 4. Then you'll need to get a separate package of #8 x 2.5" screws.

The installation instructions are useless. A picture is NOT worth 1000 words in this case. Make sure you have a level available.

I'll note that I have a PhD... granted it's not in anything engineering related... but simply to note I'm not the dumbest rock in the box and getting this thing installed was a challenge!

My iron is a Rowenta brand which tends to have a large metal surface/base. For that reason it would not fit in other ironing board organizers that required sliding the base into a slot. This organizer allows you to store the iron by it's handle. I have my organizer mounted behind a door. Because of my mounting location, the only drawback to this organizer is caused by my brand/size of iron ... it sticks out far enough from the wall to bump into the back of the door (but only slightly).

Ay carumba! This is the only ironing board holder I could find that would accommodate the Rowenta board that I purchased during a Martha Stewart induced lapse of judgment. This thing assembles, yes, assembles, easily and quickly but doesn't stay assembled through the mounting procedure and kept popping apart on me. Also, as someone mentioned, the crappy wall plugs they include are a joke; I ran out to buy the screw-in wall board plugs and finally got it installed using those. The iron rest is too narrow to hold my iron.

I returned this item because it was flimsy and didn't seem like it would last long. It's probably fine if you only access your ironing board occassionally, and have it stowed where it won't be bumped or hit. It's not good for a long-term solution though.

I figure we'll use this for some years until we decide to go with a fold-up wall mounted ironing board. For that purpose, it's fine. My chief complaint is with the included screws. They are not long enough to reach the anchors through the tubing.

Idea great but the ironing board used slips through the bracket The plastic plugs in the ends don't fit tight enough There are other brackets I would recommend that choice instead

Delivery and quality of prodcut were excellent.Product worked fine. Needed to bend the Backet legs inward to provide better engagement of Ironing Board legs.

The holder works well for both my ironing board and my iron. However installation was a bear.
They only provide the old-school wall anchors that you have to drill pilot holes for in the sheet rock. For a little more they could have included the new style wall anchors that you just screw directly into the wall and then screw the mounting screw directly into that anchor. It would have saved me the frustration and an eventual trip to the hardware store.

Love love love this thing! My iron is an odd shape and size so other iron hangers/holders/organizers didn't work, but this one is perfect! Easy to install and fits behind the door in my wash room. Thanks!

We chose this Iron/Ironing Board holder because our Iron has a retractable cord, with that said the base is too big for most Iron holders, I already bought and returned 2 that were too small for my iron. This one hangs the iron and that is good for a couple reasons. 1) Fits most Iron sizes 2) you can put the iron away while its still hot since the plates don't touch anything. What makes this even better, it's is pretty much the cheapest Iron/Ironing Board holder we could find.
