Household Essentials Stowaway in-Wall Ironing Board Finish: White

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.

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.

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

I feel real bad for my wife whenever i see her iron her clothes on whatever surface other than on a real ironing board, and the fact that our tiny house has limited storage for stuffs like full-size board are the reasons why i chose to purchase this unit. I was able to get a returned one with price discounted. Its flawless with not even a minor scratch on it. I just wished for the manufacturer to be more clear on how to mount the hinges on the main frame, and much stronger hinges rather than the part-plastic ones that looks like they wont last due to the weight of the door and the clothes hanged on the corner hanger. A lower profile design also should had been available. I understand the 3 inches protrusion to accommodate the storage of the electric iron itself. Many folks would rather store the iron somewhere else and have a better looking unit on their nice wall. My wife is happy. No longer she hunches over the bed to iron her dress on it, or use the kitchen counter. I'm giving it a 4-star rating. I recommend to check the wall studs clearance before installing (or even considering of purchasing it).

Ok, this is the largest iron board -in this system I know of. Completely recommend it! It’s worth the extra funds, as the versatility (moving the iron board around), when down it great! Take your time cutting out the proper hole in your wall and easy to install afterwards. Yes, completely recommend!

Bought this for our new house. The builder installed it during construction. It is just the right size and does just what I wanted it to do. Nice cabinet in excellent condition. We had an outlet installed below the cabinet for the iron. It has a metal inside corner to store the hot iron if necessary. Only problem is that the hole for the bolt that attaches the board to the swivel stand was bored from the wrong side. So they had to install the board wrong side up. (Otherwise, the bolt would protrude above the board and you wouldn't be able to skim the iron over the surface without running into the bolt.) The only downside is the edges of the board's bottom are angled rather than rounded like the top side, so it will probably wear out the cover more rapidly. But I don't use it for heavy duty ironing, just what I plan to wear that day, so not too worried.

I bought this as part of a laundry room remodel; it's a very small room, so the in-wall re-tractability of this unit was very attractive. Out of the box, however, this unit is garbage. I could tell right away that the face-frame was broken, so I assumed I would just be returning the product as defective, but I also still really wanted the functionality it provided so I took it out of the box so I could see how well it would work in the space. Easier said than done it seems. I couldn't even get the thing to work as intended. The bar that attaches to the ironing board to guide it into the correct position would not attach - b/c the holes didn't line up, and b/c the nut was stripped. Further, the hinges were bent (it looks like one of them was actually bent on purpose), so the whole thing came out at an angle. Add to that, the door hinges kept popping off b/c the screws they provided kept snapping as I screwed them in. Note that I'm a pretty handy guy; I've built everything from kitchen cabinets to rocking chairs, I've leveled and tiled floors, and I built a projection screen using 2X4s and blackout material, so it's not like I don't know what I'm doing with this thing. I'm also persistent and wanted this to work, so I replaced all of the hardware (screws, nuts, hinges, and door hinges) and it worked pretty well. So instead of sending it back, I bought some 1 1/2" pine strips and replaced the face frame. All in, I had to spend another $20, 4 labor hours, and 2 trips to Home Depot (had to go back for the door hinges after those wouldn't work), but now it works as I'd hoped so I'm pleased. Can't give it more than 1 star though, b/c no product that cost this much should require immediate replacement of all the hardware just to get it to work. Also of note, this unit is mostly made of MDF covered in a thin white plastic material, so it's not so easy to paint either. Easiest way is to peel off the plastic and paint the MDF, b/c normal latex paint doesn't adhere to the plastic.

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.
