with this board that I use already more than 3 years. Advantageously, I find the pleasant weight that fit me use steam iron all fine in the appropriate section of the filing (Brown TexStyle 520 and Philips GC 3330/32). The cord holder is always used by me, because I do not like it when the iron cable rumziept on the freshly ironed linen. With a slight 'click' even the thickest cable snaps into the clip. Depending on your taste I Bügle sitting or standing up, it always has this stable state (terrain: tile or carpet). Only I have brought up from the beginning a second board reference (the same as the original), because I wanted to be expected under any circumstances during hot ironing with any grid pattern on the material being ironed, thus was never the case. The metal mesh also does not exist after ironing, VLT. but also because the already ironed rests somehow cushioned. Conclusion: I am very satisfied and have nothing to complain about.
