This product is sturdy and easy to use. It holds the ironing board and iron without any problems. Excellent

This works well for us, the arms that hold the board up are of fairly heavy-weight steel so they seem reliable. We just switched from a T-leg to a 4-legged board and it works a little better with the T-leg than the 4-leg (the type pictured), but is satisfactory for either. Remember that most irons must be empty of water before you can store them flat (or they'll leak).

The instructions for this product were fairly clear and the product easy to assemble. That takes care of the two stars.

My ironing board is a Polder IB-4815-570 Quicksilver Ironing Board. I figured - Polder ironing board, Polder ironing board mount - sugar pops and candy cane right? Wrong.

The board is too heavy for the the mount. Note that this is not a "heavy" board. It is not the super lightweight boards that college students use, but it is very far from a top-of-the-line ironing board.

As soon as I hung the board on the mount, the arms of the mount immediately splayed, the entire apparatus bowed out from the door and the thingy that keeps the two arms together threatened to slip out and cause all and sundry to fall crashing to the floor.

After twisting and turning for a few minutes hoping that it was the way it was hung over the door, my sister and I gave up. My ironing board is now standing in the corner behind a door. The mount I hung over the bathroom door - I use it for my towels.

So be warned: unless you own a $10-$20 extremely lightweight ironing board, do not buy this.

This hanging system for your ironing board and iron is just perfect to get it out of sight and yet totally accessible.

Thanks

not very sturdy. we have a toddler around and he can pull it down...which is scary. Not recommended if you have small children.

I purchased this Ironing Board Hanger cause I have a 'Y' shaped board like the one in the picture. When you hand the board on it, the hanger twists a little thus not hanging flat against the closet door. Also, the whole contraption hangs too high up so the door won't even close when the actual iron is on it.

My doors measure 79 inches. My polder ironing board is 71. When I put it on the hanger the board would not clear the floor. I wasn't going to go through the hassle of returning it so I decided to tweak the angle of the hooks that hold the legs....one almost broke off. It is now used to hang a variety of light weight shopping bags. I'm very disappointed in the quality..not to mention it doesn't work with the POLDER ironing board that I have. Just check your measurements.

you have to get these pieces just right otherwise the 2(two!!!) pieces that make up the hooks holding the board's legs will come apart and you will be SOOL! Just prop your board inside your closet and be done with it.

We bought the Polder OTD Iron/Board Wall Mount for $9.99 at a hardware store.

The assembly is straightforward and simple, (it literally takes about two minutes,)and the metal seems strong.

We have a T-shaped footing on our ironing board, not the Y shaped like in the picture, and so our board hangs perfectly. But I really don't see how a Y foot board would be that sturdy hanging on the hooks. (Others Amazon reviewers have brought this up.) Our iron, when the cord is wrapped around the bottom, sits nicely on the holder. The iron holder has a pretty substantial lip on it so I don't think it is going anywhere. Our iron can sit, full of water, and not leak, which was something I was worried about when I first looked at the product.

The part that secures the rack over the top of the door is big enough to accomodate a substantial width, but this could create problems if you have a really thin door. With too much play the whole rack could shift around quite a bit when opening and closing the door.

The door we have it on is average sized and if we open the door very quickly, the ironing board will swing a bit and bump against the door. Fortunately, we are storing it on the back of a closet door that we don't open frequently.

One word of warning: the hooks for the legs of the ironing board hang down quite low from the top of the door. If you have an extra large ironing board, or an extra short door, you may want to do some measuring before you buy, otherwise you may end with the ironing board hitting the floor. (As one reviewer here, and several elsewhere have noted.)

I agree with other reviews that this device does NOT work with ironing boards with angled legs (as pictured). You do need a T-leg board.

It is also a bit fickle with the size of the iron. If your iron is either really wide or really thin, it may not sit in the holder very well.

You also need to be gentle when closing the door that this is hanging on. While the top part stays secure, the bottom part of the iron can still swing. I have gotten used to this over time.

Other than that, it is a better looking device than some other ironing board holders. It's not very bulky or complex.
