Perhaps one of the best ironing boards available today, but ...

So here's the positive and the negative aspects of MAWI-ironing board.

Positives:
+ The board is easy.
+ Huge ironing surface is great and very stable.
+ The amount is also sufficient for tall people.
+ When trying out has flexed nothing on the ironing surface. The frame, however, is another matter - see below.
+ The stability can still designate as stable.
+ The shelf on the side is great.
+ The relation is thickly padded and makes a stable impression
+ And it is "Made in Germany" and you get a ten-year guaranteed supply of spare parts - one can hope that the board survived a while so thoroughly.

Negatives:
- The plastic tray with removable declared as "iron rest" sheet may be good for a steam station. For a normal steam iron that you (as you would for ages with steam iron halts) will turn off vertically, it is not good particularly, no matter what you're doing. Rather, one has the impression that all someone has created, who has never used a normal steam iron and do not know that the best way turns off the iron vertically in work breaks. This is thus not very sensible namely, no matter what you do:
Turning (as suggested in a picture), the iron rest-plate around, it does not keep a counter and falls when the board is folded. Furthermore then prevents the cut in the sheet metal that the iron can be turned off quickly vertically just once. One must then have good aim that it will not tip over. Had made the plate without cut, the whole thing would ever safer ...
Leaving the sheet against the delivery item clipped, disrupt thereon rubber nipple, and it forms the plastic tray not properly level surface. Again, the iron is not correct.
Leaving the sheet completely off the support surface is not flat because the plastic of the tray flexes the weight of the iron and also a depression for the sheet has - so the iron is also so not sure if it turns off vertical.

- The rack looks with its thick aluminum base really nice from solid. But: the braces are indeed stable aluminum profiles, but all connecting parts are assembled from thin plastic only with the profile and secured with a screw. And these plastic parts, especially the upper, already distort noticeably in moderate stress. Sooner or later, the plastic will break at these points.

My conclusion: Overall, I had clearly expected a successor to the good old Kettler-ironing boards more! Because it's been there now and because of the pleasant size I'll keep the ironing board. Since there are not many alternatives, and built Lebensdauerbegrenzer plastic have just about any other new ironing boards that I've ever seen, also. For this strange shelf I'll have to find a reasonable substitute (and if I have a matching wooden or metal plate purely tinker me there ...), and I'll keep my old board in the basement, and if necessary modify the frame. The fact is not a single supporting part made of plastic ...

Edit: If you take out the rubber inserts from the iron rest plate, the resulting surface is a piece of flat and before the iron is a bit safer. Not perfect, but an easy-to-reach optimization.
