Sturdy and Sleek for Easy Ironing
By Martin E. on Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2025
I picked up the Bartnelli Ironing Board (43x14) on Amazon to replace my wobbly old one, and it’s been a solid upgrade for my laundry routine. I’m just a regular person who irons shirts and linens now and then, and this board has made the task way more pleasant. This board is made in Europe (mine had a Rorets label from Poland), with a sturdy build that feels like it’ll last. The four steel legs are rock-solid, with non-skid feet that keep it stable and protect my floors. It adjusts from 29 to 36 inches, so I can set it to a comfy height whether I’m sitting or standing. The 43x14-inch surface is plenty big for ironing dress shirts or even sheets, and the included iron rest is a lifesaver for safely parking my steam iron without scorching anything. The 4-layer cover (cotton, foam, felt, and fabric) is thick and heat-resistant, making my iron glide smoothly and cutting down on ironing time since steam passes through the mesh top easily. Some Amazon reviews raved about the cover’s durability, and I’ve found it holds up well without sticking to clothes. The board is lightweight—around 10 pounds—so it’s easy to move and fold up. I love the smart hanger feature, which lets me hang it in my closet, saving floor space in my small apartment. Setting it up and folding it down is a breeze, and the legs lock securely when closed, so it doesn’t pop open unexpectedly. Some X posts and reviews mentioned the folding mechanism being smoother than cheaper boards, and I agree—it feels well-designed. A few cons: the height adjustment took me a minute to figure out, as it’s a track system that’s different from my old board. The iron rest is horizontal, which doesn’t work great for irons that need to stay upright (like my T-Fal), though I just set it on its heel instead. A few Amazon reviews complained about the hanger breaking or the leg lock feeling flimsy, but mine’s been fine after a few months. One reviewer paid $362, which is wild—mine was around $50, so shop carefully! The cover arrived with a tiny stain, but it hasn’t affected performance and blends into the pattern. For the price, this Bartnelli board is a great mix of sturdy, compact, and user-friendly. It’s perfect for home or dorm use if you want a reliable ironing setup without taking up much space. Just double-check your iron’s resting needs and the price before buying.

Decent, a little spendy though.
By Steve Boatman on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2025
As wobbly as the cheap ironing board I replaced from the big W. That doesn't bother me, what bothers me is how soft the pad is and that everything squishes into it as you're ironing. You get used to it, but it's a different experience. As NOT somebody that knows much about ironing, maybe it's just me. Looks better than the cheapy did, and overall the build quality seems decent enough. I'd like a slightly wider, less move-around pad though. My dress shirts stick to it and the pad moves, regardless of how tight I get it.
