This board of Philips, one has the feeling that someone who performs the activity regularly, was in designing this, because it has been thought of almost everything. The board has a pleasant weight, not too heavy, yet hard enough to provide stability. The ironing surface is wider than with other ironing boards, ironing which larger parts (Everybody in our family at least 180 cm) facilitates. But the highlights are the two hinged parts that are locked on the sides below the board. They enlarge the board to the front and let the ironing of shirts and blouses to, without having to turn great and call. A sleeve board would make a real highlight the whole thing here, but I think it's so much better than many other boards. The terms of the ironing board makes the iron easily glide over the clothes and a real joke is that, in addition to the shelf for the iron, which is so great that even an ironing system takes it place, a rod is mounted, which allows 6 Shirts blouses or sweaters on hangers should hang in there. A device for cell phone, or smartphone there is. One is thus accessible during ironing, if you put on speakers and can continue working on. I find personally now not so important, but such. As for my children could be important, who are grown almost to the smartphone.
Ales in all I think this board very well thought out and the price also justified. Excellent !!!
