Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I just received my "Honey-Can-Do BRD-01350 Premium Over-the-Door Put-Away Ironing Board with Pad and Cover" hoping to free up floor space in my bathroom, but it doesn't look like that's going to be happening anytime soon, at least not with this product anyway.
First of all, I'm not sure if there is anything about the ironing board that should be considered "premium" - maybe the 100% cotton cover? The board is very flimsy when opened and when I tried ironing on it, it bounced up and down and side-to-side, all the while banging on my door making quite a thump. It might not bounce that much for someone who is not in a hurry to iron or prefers to take their time, but I've been ironing on a daily basis for many years and like to get mine done and over with as quick as possible, but not on a board that feels like it's dancing to the "music" that's it making on the back of my door.
Second, the over-the-door brackets are not the same as the ones in the photo. The ones that came with mine are shorter and would fit nice and snug/secure on any 2-inch thick door. They do not fit securely on any of my "standard" 1 3/8-inch thick doors. After placing the ironing board frame on the brackets, the brackets tilt at an angle and I'm not able to shut my door at all. I would have to screw the brackets into the door in order to close it, which also means that the ironing board can only have one permanent location in the home - important details not mentioned in the item description.
And last, but not least, the clanging/banging of the board whenever you open or close the door that the board is hanging on - as mentioned in the previous review, which by the way, was not posted at the time I purchased mine or else I would have noted the bracket/screw issue, as well as the clanging/banging issue. The ironing board should have come with "cushion bumpers" to place between your door and the ironing board frame when it's closed and not in use.
They've got the right idea with this space-saving product, but really need to improve upon its quality and bracket design.
Unfortunately, I'll be returning mine tomorrow for a full refund from Amazon in hopes of finding another better quality over-the-door ironing board.
