, I have long considered when buying this ironing board. But I must say I have not regretted. This table corresponds exactly to my expectations and also the description. I ironed the Dampfbügelstation Laurastar many years, which had to be replaced now. It is not always easy after such a long time to endscheiden for another product. To the steam ironing table I bought the ironing system from Philips and have found that this is to set a very good combination, and with Laurastar equal. Very nice and helpful the drip tray is thus no water dripping onto the floor and the ironing board cover is always dry. Conclusion, even if this ironing table a bit more expensive, a little heavier, (but easy is to use) is well worth it expensive to purchase.
