Pretty Good Ironing Board, January 31, 2009
This review is from: Polder IB-4815-570 Quicksilver Ironing Board, Green Pansies (Kitchen)
While several people complained about this board being not-so-sturdy, I find that it's just fine. I'd have to bump it pretty hard to cause my iron to fall over, and it has held up to two felines that were all over it the second I pulled it out of the package yesterday. They've jumped up on it and down from it while the iron was sitting up on top, and there was not enough movement to make me even a little concerned. It is about as sturdy as the ironing board my mother has had and used for 30+ years.
It certainly makes sound as the iron heats up the middle and the metal reacts by popping, but it isn't any different than I've experienced with most ironing boards.
I REALLY like the silicone iron rest, though I am a little sad that if I want to set my iron upright, it has to be on the workspace itself. So far, the pad has held up to my iron set to the hottest setting without a problem.
Excellent value for the money, and I would recommend this one to anyone who is looking for a functional ironing board and isn't looking for something industrial level in stability and make.

Perfect ironing board, but a little bit noisy, August 23, 2008
This review is from: Polder IB-4815-570 Quicksilver Ironing Board, Green Pansies (Kitchen)
This ironing board is everything I wanted, except it makes a bit of noise as you iron over the middle section. Otherwise I would have given it five stars.

Light and portable Overall I recomend, January 26, 2009
This review is from: Polder IB-4815-570 Quicksilver Ironing Board, Green Pansies (Kitchen)
This is a good ironing board, it's extremely light and folds very flat. There are two downsides as I see it.
1) Because of it's light weight (probably aluminum body) it is very
wobbly, if a child or you bump it, the iron can be knocked over.
2) The second, much smaller problem, is that when folded the legs can
not be affixed snugly to the board if you carry it legs down they
will drop about 20 inches.
Beyond that this is an unbeatable deal for your money, I would recommend it if the two things I mentioned don't phase you.
