This over the door ironing board is a perfect ironing solution for anyone looking to save time, effort and space in their home while still delivering the ironing results they need. Because this over the door board is more compact than a regular folding ironing board or tabletop boars, it s great for spaces where floor (or other) space is limited. The ironing board comes with hooks to secure the frame on the back of a door with commercial or standard thickness. The board has a steel frame, and the board itself is made of steel mesh. The perforations in the steel allow the board to be sturdy but still lightweight while also allowing steam and heat to pass through and circulate more easily, leading to more even ironing results.
